Ubuntu is not fully out-of-the-box. Some packages and tools that can improve the experience are excluded by Canonical due to legal issues.

If these packages are not installed, it will make it difficult to watch movies, Play flash videos, and listen to MP3 files. For legal or other reasons, Ubuntu's parent company excluded them.

If you want to do the above, you must continue to learn how to solve these problems.

For those who have installed Ubuntu 13.10 and are about to upgrade, read this article () or click the following link.

When you have upgraded or installed Ubuntu 14.04, open your command line and run the following command to install the missing package that can play media files more easily on Ubuntu.

1. Sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

When you are prompted to enter the password, press enter to continue. After installation, test your system. This package helps install Adobe Flash Player and MP3 encoder so that you can listen to MP3 music and movie plug-ins to watch legitimate DVD movies and other useful things.

Therefore, whenever you install Ubuntu, first try to install this package. This will improve your experience when you use Ubuntu.

Another scenario is that you want to watch encrypted DVD movies. In this case, you need to run the following command.
