If when you log on, you choose to load the Gnome enviroment, there is a built-in screen-recording program, just press Alt-Ctrl-Shift-R.

you could try installing Ubuntu restricted extras from the software-center. Or try using Mozilla Firefox?

On compiz-config-manager (CCSM) go to prefrences, then click "reset to defaults"

Just install ubuntu restricted extras from the software center, should have all the stuff you needfor java and other general things.

Also chromium/Google Chrome comes with java built in i believe

go onto additional drivers and enable any which are available?

Thanks, that's seemed to sort out the software-center.

Much appreciated :)

I tried them and noticed no difference :/

I seem to have encountered problems with the software-center, and the general removal, or installation of packages, even through synaptic package manager. And I am often getting system error messages...

try running these in terminal...

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install wine

basically in short, you can't "downgrade", you can only re-install an older version of Ubuntu.

If you want superspeed use ubuntu 10.04 it was the best for speed and stability

if you go to www.google.com/chrome you can download google chrome for ubuntu.

It's the same as Windows, if anything faster on ubuntu.

You can use Google chrome if you want on linux. Just visit the chrome website.

Also what internet adapter do you have?

Downloading applications from the internet isn't always a good idea, unless it's from a trusted source so google, opera, sourceforge, gnome-look.org

Just use the software centre for applications?

install programs from the software center?
If for some reason you don't have it type

apt-get install software-center

If you put Ubuntu on a PS3 then the PS3 becomes a computer (just a really powerfull one) So it won't be able to play PS3 games or use any of the PS3 features

Also It depends what you want, If you want a more classic Linux use Mint. If you want a more original linux which is more compatible use Ubuntu
