Hi all,

New to this Linux stuff, and have just loaded Ubuntu's latest download OS, so far disappointed does not play DVD, internet video streaming is poor,m the audio media player is poor, no sound with stuff from You Tube?

So what software is recommended? DVD replay? Media Players? Any way to run games?

What about anti Spyware and Virus protection? Any recommended sites full of Ubuntu free software?

Hi,

Still not getting DVD playback n stuff, the Synaptic list is huge! Quite what to select for sound from the web and to get DVD replay I am unsure of?

Still not sure if there is any region coding to adjust? But it seems unlikely as Totem DVD player won't play UK or US discs?

sigh

Hi,

How do I go about that? Complete simpleton with this Ubuntu?

Do I need to open a terminal and paste 'apt_get updated dvd utilites' or will this be in the huge list in Synaptics?

I have found and tried to install VLC from the Synaptic menu, it sits there but I cannot seem to get it reading the DVD or to play anything?

Not sure what choices I should tick within that hiuge Synaptic list, seems a bit complicated to get simple CD DVD and internet replay from such an acclaimed simple OS?

Still not getting sound from the internet such as You Tube?

Edit, apt_get updated dvd utilites, didn't work, apt_get command not found.
