Thanks for the sudo tip Sebastien! That connected a lot of dots for me. I'm
a little closer now, but still stuck.
Here's what I tried in the terminal:
sudo /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo /filesystem/etc/apt/sources.list
Each of those returned; 'Command not found', or 'location unknown' or
something like that. I think I discovered that / is the root, so adding
'filesystem' is just redundant. Am I right?
Then just tried doing the old cd drill-down method, just as I would with
Windows. I successfully changed directory to /etc/apt but now cannot figure
out open sources.list from there.
I drilled down in the GUI by going to Places -> Computer and opened the
sources.list file in text editor, but then I don't have the permissions to
save changes after adding the lines your link instructed.
A thousand apologies for my noobness. At this point I'm still all drive and
no vector...

Status in "totem" package in Ubuntu: Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: totem
Totem closes while attempting to resize or full screen the window; via drag
or double-click. However, on occasion it will squash an anamorphic
widescreen movie into a 4:3 full screen (everything is tall & thin).
Attempts to resize either remain squashed or close Totem altogether.
This only happens with actual DVD discs. I've been playing movies I ripped
to .avi (xvid & .AC3) without error.
I am using Ubuntu 9.04 and am a total noob...working on converting from
"Windoze" (advanced with that, so any translative language would be much
appreciated).
I followed some forum threads about installing codecs and upgrading
programs.
Please advise...
