Wow....this repository synaptic pacakage manager looks like a interesting thing to check out.So many softwares with descriptions etc. given there.
When I tried downloading the ubuntu-restricted-extras from the synaptic,I got the following error:

This is the same error I got when trying to get codecs for mp3 from the Totem music player..[the default one].Why does it ask me to insert ubuntu CD at such odd moments.??
.
I tried downloading VLC too..,through add/remove programs.but got the same error.!!

^why oh Why? open ur cd/dvd drive and insert ubuntu cd/dvd;press enter.
if u dont want asking cd/dvd insert prompt,edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the first two lines which contains CD/DVD rom added to apt.
u can edit as press alt+f2 to get run dialog.run "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" without commas.then remove the lines referring to CD(first lines),save,exit and in a terminal when internet is ON,run
"sudo apt-get update" without quotes.

The dvd was always inside the drive.!!!Haven't removed it since I put it in the first time I got the error.!!Should have mentioned this in the previous post.Anyway,I edited the sources.list file with the gudo gedit command and it worked.!!Thanks.!!
Also I am spoilt for choice here when it comes to selecting a music player.Which among Amarok and Banshee is the better one.??

^^amarok is kde based,though kde applications do run in gnome but it is not advisable.I too liked amarok(liked it more than anything) but exaile is as goos as amarok if not better.

Greetings.!!
I am using Beep music player for now.!!
I just went through a few links explaining basic ubuntu commands and...WOW!!command line is fun. .I also had a look at
this excellent tutorial on file permissions on linux and did mess around quite a bit with them.Is ther any way to incorporate the terminal in file/folder context menu,clicking on which will open the terminal with that path open.??Using cd command each time is a pain.!
Also..I am still not able to play any video CD/DVDs on linux..I installed that ubuntu-restricted-extras [from the command line. ] and gstream plugins and tried playing in VLC player,but videos just won't play. .Any sloutions??
