Well you dont need to download or install restricted extras, it will not
make any good if you play games. For media players as and when you play the
file the player will prompt you to add more libraries or codecs. If you
choose to add restricted extras make sure you dont get icedtea packages.
Remove openjdk and install sun instead. The best place to understand Ubuntu
is the Forum hosted by Ryen. Go to ubuntuforum.com and do some research.

Best,

David
