It's probably ubuntu-restricted-extras, but it's available through synaptic. Much easier

Please copy and paste the output of the command. Without knowing the error messages, we cannot help you troubleshoot. ("It failed" is not enough information for us to tell you why it failed.)

If you are uncomfortable with the command line, you can install through Synaptic Package Manager or Ubuntu Software Center.

[Quackers]

Go to System menu > Administration menu > Synaptic Package Manager
When synaptic opens enter in the search box (top right) ubuntu-restricted-extras and it will appear in the main panel.
Right-click it and select Mark for installation.
When it asks for confirmation click on Mark.
Then click on the green arrow in the tool bar.
When it asks for confirmation click on Apply
