    the default doesn't have universe and multiverse repositories set up. you can find out how to add them on the website wiki.

    i think you can just get rid of the hash in the /etc/apt/sources.list next to the universe and multiverse lines and sudo apt-get update

    i can't say whether he default to "no" is a mistake in the installer or by you -- i have been using hoary since shortly after warty came out. :)

    but you can do this:

    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

    it will download and install a tremendous # of packages and all will be happy.

    I know that was a whimsical comment, made in a joking manner. However, I don't believe I am the only one here who spends the majority of their time at the command line. I don't think there is anything I want to do that I can't do in a text only mode.

    Now admittedly command line geeks are not really the target market for Ubuntu, but the point is still valid.
