i think you may have to go in synaptic package manager and enable all reposotries
so all media like mp3 dvd's and flash can be played
am sure i read the latest ubuntu 11.04 was going to have a one button to install all media codecs may even be asked during instalation instead of having to use command line to install medibuntu like in previous releases to make life easier for ist time users

On occasion, installing Adobe Flash Player and/or watching online Flash streams successfully isn't as simple as it might ordinarily be. If you have tried installing it already, and are having issues, read on. First of all, please disable any ad-blocking Firefox extensions you have installed, such as Adblock Plus, as they can sometimes interfere with the Flash content you actually want to see. If you are still having issues after disabling the extension(s), you should now completely purge Adobe Flash Player from your system, along with any other packages which may be interfering with it, reinstall only Adobe Flash Player, restart your web browser, and then test Flash performance again. Will both 32-bit and 64-bit users copy and paste this command into the terminal:
sudo apt-get purge adobe-flashplugin flashplugin-nonfree gnash gnash-common libflashsupport mozilla-plugin-gnash nspluginwrapper swfdec-mozilla && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
Still no joy? I would suggest following the instructions below for your particular Ubuntu version and architecture.
Note: You can safely install the Ubuntu package (flashplugin-nonfree), or a Deb archive over the top of the Tar installation method at a later date - I've tested it several times. There's absolutely no need to remove any of the manually installed files, as they will simply be overwritten.
First of all, copy and paste the following command into the terminal and remove the package installed by Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree
32-Bit Users Only: Those of you running the 32-bit version of Ubuntu can install the Flash Player plug-in by selecting and downloading the Deb archive in the drop-down menu on this page of Adobe's site, then executing it and entering your root password when prompted.
32/64-bit Users: Alternatively, 32-bit users can download the Tar archive from the same linkprovided above and follow my instructions below. If you're a 64-bit Ubuntu user, download the Tar archive of the 64-bit Flash Player plug-in from the bottom of this page to your desktop.
Once downloaded, simply open the Tar archive, look for a file named "libflashplayer.so", copy that file to your desktop, then both 32-bit and 64-bit users execute the following command in the terminal:
sudo mkdir /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree && sudo cp -f ~/Desktop/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/ && sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin && sudo ln -sf /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/flashplayer-alternative.so
the bit highlighted worked for me thank fookroud:

Have tried ubuntu and used mepis for years but have settled on Linux Mint 11 which I duel boot with win7. Easy to install and update no problems.

Well, Ubuntu 12.04 and Linux mint 14 are the best right now. I use them daily, but prefer my Windows desktop.

I use dual boot with win7 and OpenSuse 12.2. I must say I rarely boot into windows. It's worth pointing out that if you're a gamer Steam is in a beta stage for use with ubuntu. I have tried Linux in its many different forms. OpenSuse only gives me a headache when i need to do networking stuff. Even then its just a case of switching off the firewall.
Stuff you get free of charge with Linux:- Libre office(or similar), k3b(cd burner), video editor, gnucash(finance thingy). GIMP(like Adobe photoshop)
I know you can by other means get stuff for windows for free, but when you install Linux you get most of the above installed and ready to use.
I also like the way Linux partitions the drive into OS/Swap/Data makes upgrading and backups easier. It does have it's problems but it's FREE! I tend to use Ubuntu 12.04 to breathe new life into old machines, quick and 9 times out of 10 i'm not looking for a driver that no longer exists(generally sound card) for days.
Nearly everyone now a days can operate on a cross platform basis. Everyone recognises the Firefox and Thunderbird icons and the thing that looks like a power button in both Gnome Destop and KDE Desktop is you guessed it the off button. The online help via forums is amazing to.
Basically I put opensuse on my Dads machine and told him it was a new Desktop theme and he's found his way round and he's not massively computer savie .
