Ubuntu/HP? You mean an HP product with Ubuntu? Which Ubuntu version
number and desktop would that be?
I'm guessing that Synaptic, the GUI DEB package manager, disappeared.
If all else fails, aptitude is the best console / terminal-based package
manager I've seen. You can do _everything_ from that, with a
menu-driven interface that doesn't take a lot of time to get used to. I
really wish the RPM/YUM package family under Redhat / CentOS had
something as excellent as aptitude.
Good Luck,

Aloha Jeff.
It is Ubunto 8.10 with the Synaptic manager.
It starts from a gui window and shuts off using alt/F2 to bring up the
gnome-terminal.
It works fine for everything but Flash and the menu features that
vanished (back button for example on the inet screen). The desktop is
just HP with small windows you click on to enlarge them. I never use the
photos, music and stuff on the screen.Its used for picking up email when
I travel and searching the net. And airline schedules, checking in for
flights etc.
Thanks ... AL

Aloha,
Seeing the post from Jeff reminded me to ask this.
I have a net book with Ubuntu/HP on it. (All of the rest of my boxes
run FreeBSD) And the last time the updates ran part of the menu
vanished to an auto select feature.
Also I no longer have any flash that works for this unit either. Tried
to update but doesnt finish install.
Does any one have a suggestion to any link to a how to make things
install on the version of Ubuntu that is on the machine? Or do I have
to upgrade the version?
Mahalo...
