Anyone know how to fix this. I would rather have the "Add and Remove" working rather then using terminal.

It searches for the missing codec that I need but won't allow me to download it.:popcorn:

What is the message it is giving you when you try to install it?

Hey, how do you get that penguin?

The message that comes up says " THE LIST OF APPLICATIONS IS NOT AVAILABLE"
Click on the Reload to load it. To reload the list you need a working internet connection.

THEN IT GIVE ME THE OPTION TO REFRESH OR CLOSE.

After that nothing happens. I do click on the box to select it, but it does not allow me to do anything.:lolflag:

Do you have a working internet connection?

If so, maybe go to System > Administration > Software Sources and make sure the proper repositories are ticked?

You can get tux from http://tux.crystalxp.net/
Another thing to check is that you have the ubuntu repositories enabled, you can do this by going to Software Sources (System>Admin>Software Sources) and on the first tab tick all the boxes that are above source code.
