One thing came to my mind. Unless you're using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, your Ubuntu version isn't supported anymore. They might have already removed the package repositories for unsupported versions and that might indeed lead to problems with graphics and video players as you said. The support for desktop 8.04 and 9.10 is also nearing its end (April this year). I'd recommend backing up your /home and installing 10.04 LTS or 10.10 instead.
