I can't run Synaptic. It won't open at all.

I printed out the step by step from this site:

There is nothing wrong with the DVD player. It does just fine in XP. XP has
drivers for it. XP is on its own hard drive. I want to use Ubuntu cause XP
breaks up the file (FAT32) I am not buying any more Windows software, so I'm
stuck.

I'd have to get a print screen of the multiverse file. None of it looks right.
Yet it doesn't look like a traditional malware hack.

If it wasn't for Android, I'd have no idea what unmount meant. What's wrong with
"stop?"

I've worked on cars. You get a transliterated manual from Babelfish, and you are
on your own! We've had English cars and motorcycles. You have to know what a
"spanner" is. Same thing with computers.
