Hello all,

Please help! I'm in at the deep end learning linux on my new system 76!

My internet kind of works - I can email and I downloaded GIMP, but when I try and download VLC player I get " Network service discovery disabled - current network has a .local domain, which is not recommended + incompatible with Avahi network" - the same also occurs when trying to get updates.

I gather this is an ISP thing, not a Ubuntu problem - but can some of you kind folk please give me some nice clear (absolute beginner remember ) instructions for a work-around?

Mega kudos to anyone who can help me get up and running and starting to play with new toy properly!

Thanks for reading,

Gareth.
