first off, remove automatix. it WILL eventually break your system. it was designed for 6.06 and lower, and if you use it on 7.04, shit will happen! read this: http://www.pspmod.com/forums/linux-s...mp3-linux.html

Many of your common questions can be answered by the official Ubuntu documentation, user submitted documentation (found on the official site) or on the Ubuntu forums.

For your flash problem -

"https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash"

If you've already done this, then let us know.

For wine, open a console and type

sudo apt-get install wine

Or you can go to your "System" tab -> "Administration" -> "Synaptic Package Manager" and do a search for "wine". The first way is the quickest.

Last thing, listen to what Master of Cthulhu said. Do not use automatix.
