ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package, you can safely remove it.

Actually, I still can’t get it working. Are there any other potential problem areas? I’ve tried reinstalling totem, then doing this guide, and everything else I can think of, but still no dice.

Dangit. Yup, that did it. Just needed to follow the directions.

When I try to run this:

sudo apt-get install –reinstall mozilla-mplayer

I get this error message:

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package –reinstall

Any ideas?
