How can I watch youtube on ubuntu 10.04?

How can I watch videos and listen to music online with Ubuntu?

I am borrowing my parents laptop and they have this weird system called Ubuntu. I am guessing it is something like windows. The problem is I am unable to download anything like adobe flash player and I tunes. So I am wondering if I need to download something else to be able to just atleast do the simple things like watch videos on youtube or download music.
Answer:

Here is the Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) User Guide http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic ITUNES Take a look at these open source options Rhythmbox http://projects.gnome.org/rhythmbox/ gtkpod (good for syncing) http://www.gtkpod.org/about.html Songbird http://www.getsongbird.com/ aTunes http://www.atunes.org/ FLASH PLAYER To install Flash player go to a webpage that has Flash content For example http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/enable_compizfusion_in_ubuntu_feisty/ In the top right hand corner you will be prompted to install the Flash plugin. Click on that and there will be several options. Select the Adobe option then enter your password and the installer will take care of the rest. Once Flash is installed restart Firefox SOFTWARE INSTALLATION Installing Software in Ubuntu http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installingsoftware LUg.

Ubuntu (unlike windows) comes with all of that stuff built in. It will play any type of video or audio. It will also read pdf.s just download your mp3's or mp4's and start rocking

In the terminal, type: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras edit: I think it's in synaptic package manager or the software center too.

First lets get your mp3s playing and videos working. Go to the application menu then go to the Accessories sub menu. You should see a app called Terminal. Click on it and a little window like a dos window will open. Now copy and paste the following command without quots. "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" Press enter. Then It will ask you for your password. Enter it and press enter. Now ubuntu will connect to the internet and download all the files you need to play mp3s and videos. (You can use rhythembox to listen to music and torem ) Now on to flash. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/flash This tutorial tells how to install flash step by step. After installing flash youtube should be working fine along with all the other online video sites. If you are still having trouble ask again. Cheers!
