kevinisexploiterok ijust gave up and went to soft ware center and did it that way21:13
kevinisexploiterit works now but i still need to know how to find what apps open what files21:13
kevinisexploiterany ideas???21:14
ikoniayou research it21:16
ikoniawhat file do you want to open ?21:16
kevinisexploiterwell i was trying to open unebooten download exe file21:18
kevinisexploiterinstead of going threw software center21:18
ikoniaok well, thats an executable that you need to run, not open21:19
ikoniabut you should have no need to download it, you should use the packaged version out of software center21:19
kevinisexploiterwhat app would i use to run it if i did it that way??21:20
ikoniayou don't need to21:20
ikoniayou should use the version from software center21:20
kevinisexploiteri am21:20
ikoniagreat, then there is no problem21:20
kevinisexploiterso basically i got the wrong download cause it should have been formatted with a app to run unebooten with right ??is that why i had to go to software center ?21:21
kevinisexploiteri am a windows guy and usually a download can be ran after u down load21:22
ikoniait doesn't work that way in linux21:22
kevinisexploiterive never been able to do that unless it is done by software center21:22
ikoniahttps://help.ubuntu.com - a good guide for a basic introduction to ubuntu21:22
kevinisexploiterwell how does it work21:22
kevinisexploitercause i cant always use software center21:23
ikoniahave a read of the link21:23
ikoniayou should be able to use software center for pretty much any software21:23
kevinisexploiterim just too much a windows guy trying to use ubuntu i guess21:24
kevinisexploiterive got so much to learn about ubuntu21:24
ikoniaread the link I gave you21:24
