Folks,

I have 3 systems running 8.04 LTS all at the same release level and have a few questions:

1. Why when I double click a url in an e-mail doesn't it open up a browser window?

2. When you download a file (such as RealPlayer11GOLD.bin) where does it get placed? I tried doing a find after following the instructions in the ubuntuguide.org/wiki but the following commands yield nothing:
    cd /
    sudo find . -name RealPlayer11GOLD.bin -print (with or without quotes around it.)

3. I try to bring up SoftwareSources on one of my systems and the little icon spins for a while then goes away and nothing happens? I am running as an Administrator.

4. On that same system when I try to do check in the UpdateManager window after it says your system is up to date it never completes justs grays the window out and sits there. Why?

Note: #3 & #4 work fine on the others.

I think this distribution and the community support it has is the best in the business.

Cheers,
Jay

PS I am only 67, just a kid, been using computers since 1965, Unix since 1992, Linux since release 0.99 & Ubuntu since 5.10

I can only give a little help.  I'd try using the Tracker Search Tool to find RealPlayer's download location. If you already have it, it's under Accessories. Otherwise use Add/Remove or Synaptic.
