If you look back through messages on this forum you will find a thread
with subject "Re: Hi! I'm new to UBUNTU! - hijacked from: Goodbye

            This does not work on my 10.04


    It works ok for me.  Have you enabled the Partner repository?

Now I know that was a good six weeks ago and I believe that you are of
a great and venerable age so no doubt the memory is not quite what it
was, so perhaps you should note down somewhere how to do this so that
you do not have to ask again in another six weeks.

And please, as I have asked several times, do not send me a personal
copy of your posts in addition of sending one to the list, I do not
need two copies.  Thanks.
