Im just using kubuntu for the first time now (I previously used fedora, vector, and gentoo) and i cant seem to get the package manager to install anything.
It all started when i tried running firefox (the package manager said it was already installed). There was no shortcut for it in the internet menu. and if i typed "firefox" or "mozilla-firefox" into the terminal it would report that its not a command. So i thought maybe if i uninstalled firefox then reinstalled it, it would show up. Well i uninstalled it (via the package manager) but now when i search for it with adept it wont show up. In fact as soon as i type "moz" in the search box, NOTHING shows up
also i tried compiling some other programs and was told that i needed a compiler. I saw another post saying that i needed to install build-essential, BUT when i looked in adept for it....again nothing. What am i doing wrong? (FYI this is a fresh install of the newest available live/install DVD)
