Couple of minor problems with the Heron (8.04 LTS)

[Jay Ridgley]

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
