hi Forgive my ignorance.
on my laptop with ubuntu i am unable to access the internet. i am doing so on my desktop pc.
and as stated on my first post i am a newbie with ubuntu and am lost as to how install/download these packages.
please explain the following (You should find them through synaptic, have you enabled multiverse and universe repositories?)
once again sorry for my ignorance

Ok,can you plug in a network cable in your laptop? Or, download the files through your desktop pc and then copy them to a USB pen drive or maybe burn a CD?
Btw, did you get a CD with drivers for your wireless USB?
