How to install the flash player and Mp3 plugins?

I've recently replaced my hdd, and installed Lucid Lynx, but while setting up my environment I realized that I can't play MP3's or video files.

My computer tries to download plugins, but keeps giving me the following error:

E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the download directory

Someone please help.

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

The failure to get archive lock means your auto update was probably running at the same time you entered the apt-get command or some similar situation. Wait a few minutes for it to complete and then try it again
