+   In older versions of Ubuntu, fsck used to work from the Recovery Mode.
+   However, later versions of Ubuntu leave the primary HDD/SSD mounted,
+   so fsck no longer works.
+   Let's check/repair your filesystem...
+    boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB in “Try Ubuntu” mode
+    open a terminal window by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T
+    type sudo fdisk -l
+    identify the /dev/sdXX device name for your "Linux Filesystem"
+    type sudo fsck -f /dev/sdXX, replacing sdXX with the number you found earlier
+    repeat the fsck command if there were errors
+    type reboot

-     You have to install ubuntu-restricted-extras, not just download them (except if with the "i have downloaded the ubuntu restricted extras" you meant that you installed too). From terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) run sudo apt-get install -y ubuntu-restricted-extras stay there until installation completes, when it asks you for the MS fonts EULA, hit ENTER(key) to confirm. –  NikTh Aug 12 '13 at 19:00

-    Basically, since Firefox 24 you no longer need flash in Linux to watch Youtube. However, not many people have realised that yet. There has been very little publicity about this major positive change.
