Install pan (with synaptic) - that is the best newsreader I have found

Pan - Edit - Edit News Servers - insert news.gmane.org

Choose gmane.linux.ubuntu.user (that's ubuntu-users)

Right click and choose surbsribe.

Then each time you open pan right click subscribed groups and choose:

"Get New Headers in Subscribed Groups"

But pan can do a lot more for you (I have used it for a long time).
