It works wirelessly with a Windows PC but not with my Ubuntu laptop. Coming from Windows I'm struggling with the Xterm command line stuff needed for installing downloaded stuff so helpful replies will need this detail please. So how far have you progressed?. Did you download the.gz file using the link supplied in Post #1?. If so, were you able to extract it, and successfully execute the commands listed?. Using the Terminal is a super convenient method of getting things done quickly, invest the effort to learn how to use, you won't be sorry, and it's second nature after a few goes at it.
Good luck, and you came to the right place by the way to learn ubuntu! Hi Guys, Thanks for that info. I have now got it working. I think that at my previous attempt I didn't know the device URI so responded to the prompt with No and therefore got the USB type installation.
Forgot to ask in last post but Can I delete the files downloaded to the.Downloads directory now that my installation is complete? I assume that all downloaded files with regard to program/driver installation are moved to appropriate directories associated with the application. I did notice however that there are uninstall files in my.Download directory. It seems logical to me that the.Downloads directory should only ever be a temporary location used during download and installation. Last edited by howefield; October 26th, 2016 at 05:34 PM.

Not intending to be too picky, but there is no.Downloads directory as far as I know. Directory names that start with a. Are hidden directories.
They can be viewed in 'Files' by hitting Ctrl-H, (see 'View' in Files Menu). To remove unneeded files, you can use the 'autoremove' command. Two lines of useful Terminal code. One of the essential functionalities of apt-get (which was initially specific to aptitude) is the tracking of packages installed only through dependencies. These packages are called “automatic”, and often include libraries for instance. With this information, when packages are removed, the package managers can compute a list of automatic packages that are no longer needed (because there's no “manually installed” packages depending on them). Apt-get autoremove will get rid of those packages.
Aptitude does not have this command because it removes them automatically as soon as they are identified. Both programs include a clear message listing the affected packages. Last edited by vasa1; October 16th, 2014 at 01:50 PM.
Thanks vasa1 for the excellent explanation. I'll make a note of that command for future reference. On the subject of reference works, being new to Ubuntu I downloaded the Getting Started user guide but this is too high a level which would be good for something like Windows but not for a Linux system which appears to require more terminal command line knowledge.
