Are you really trying to tell us after all these years using Ubuntu
that you do not know about enabling repositories?  Go to System,
Administration, Software Sources, Other Software and check that the
ubuntu partner repository is enabled.

Please do not reply to me personally, just to the list.  I do not need
two copies of your post.  Thanks.
