Have it up and running okay except for two problems: 1. He can't type anything into the terminal. Can copy and paste a command to the terminal but when it asks for his password the terminal will not accept any keyboard strokes. 2. Can't seem to download any of the Firefox extensions eg Adblock Plus. I would expect the Firefox extensions to work under a 64 bit system but I am not sure as I have always had a 32 bit configuration. One thing I did notice after his install was that Nautilus was not installed which did not allow him to access his Home directory. I now have that up and running and not sure if this has anything to do re the above terminal problem. Thanks Todd </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">You could also probably install 32-bit and it would run better or just as well except if you are doing high-end stuff like lots of processing. 64-bit is getting better, but for ease of use 32-bit is king. </pre> </blockquote>  Ubuntu or Kubuntu?  Try an uninstall and reinstall. My Kubuntu AMD64 system will write to the t erminal, download Firefox extensions using add  remove programs or Firefox extensions and I downloaded addblock plus without any problems just after I received your email<br> <br>  Was this system an upgrade or  an install from a burnt disc? I burnt a disc and the download was from Canonical ome download from an AU server stalled at 82% <br> </body> </html>
