OK. Thanks for the answers ... Installed texlive (evince was already installed). the Sage notebook still complained it needed either dvipng or convert. tried dvipng -> notebook complained it failed (and convert was not installed) tried convert (synaptic imagemagick) : this time it worked.
I notice the Installation document still refers to Ubuntu 7.04 (hence tetex and kpdf) which is not longer maintained by Ubuntu and possibly it is a good idea to update the documentation it. Anyways, thanks a lot for the quick and helpful replies.
