firefox should tell you what to do automatically.
Does this not happen?

otherwise, ubuntu-restricted-extras should do the trick.


sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

no that does not happen and this is what happens when i enter that code


E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

Yes. you need to exit synaptic package manager and Add/Remove.

you can only use one installation-method or program at a time.

I would make a new thread about that if I were you.
It makes it easier for everyone.
