    Hello,

    I ran Xubuntu 8.10 for a while on my AAO and it worked fine for me. Today I decided that I want Ubuntu 8.10 with Xubuntu desktop on my AAO. I tried it first on my desktop with Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit and everything works fine, but when I installed Ubuntu on my AAO I don't have the same amount of packages in synaptic as I used to have. I can't install JRE 6 for example, which I need for Matlab. Can anyone help me please, because I can't find an answer.

    Thanks!

    After I installed jre-6 from packages.ubunutu.com it's solved. Don't know why, but I'm happy with it. This topic can be removed.

    Anyway, thanks for the reply, Rubberglove.

    Since he's using an Aspire One, it is.
