Many of our CEan facing problem in finding packages for installing any software.
If you are new in ubuntu try to follow this for installing softwares "System->Administrator->synaptic package manager" or "Accessories->Ubuntu software centre".
If you have more share with us.

Install compizconfig-settings-manager to have greater control over the Desktop Effects (using Compiz of course!! 😁 )

among others you can enable water effect which is basically like raindrops on your desktop!! Some of the effects are very cool!!

Install all required packages for c and c++ programs.Here is the command which install all the packages :sudo aptitude install build-essential.

1>Write the program and save using .c(for c program) and .cpp(for c++ program).

2>If you have save it to the desktop then write like this:-cd ~/Desktop

3>now to compile write the following in the terminal:-g++ <your file name>.cpp -o <your file name>.----->for c++ program
for c program write .c instead of .cpp and gcc instead of g++.

4>to execute the program write:- ./<your file name> for ex ./hello.

and you are done..

Hey we started with the basics.Read from the 1st post.Here in ubuntu you need packages to installed any type of software.I think you need some mp3 player try to follow this "System->Administrator->synaptic package manager" or "Accessories->Ubuntu software centre" and search for the vlc.
Let me know if any more problem is there.

if you just want a feel of ubuntu in a virtual enviroment, i suggest you try Oracle's virtualbox. It is easy to use, the documentation is easy to understand. All you need is an .iso image on your computer you can install it from there.
