    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

    How long does this script should take to run? This has been running now for 1/2 hour, and still going. Shall I kill it and start over?

    It depends on the speed of your internet connection but I would have thought that it should finished within half an hour.

    THanks for the reply, so do you think I should kill it and start over, I have started the script on wireless connection but now I have wired connection. Any risk of messing up the laptop with half a written script?

    Are you sure it's running, and not paused to wait for you to accept some EULA? If I rember right that package should present you with at least one EULA that you must accept for the installation to complete...

    And you need to press the Tab key to accept it.
