What happens if you go to apt://ubuntu-restricted-extras in your browser? Also did you paste the entire line it appears you only pasted up to the "ubuntu-restricted-ex" part. try the entire command.– Vault108Jul 21, 2015 at 15:49
Alternately, Fluendo develops Gstreamer plugins and codecs which can be downloaded to a flash drive and installed. They make money from many of their software packages but they offer an mp3 codec for free. It is called the Oneplay mp3 decoder. Since Ubuntu is based on Debian, I suggest you get the .deb file for either x86 or 64 bit architecture.
