by on Apr.28, 2011, under Linux

A new edition of Ubuntu arrives every six months, bearing a new zoological codename. The latest is version 11.04 (reflecting its April 2011 release), known to its friends as the Natty Narwhal.  The biggest change is the Unity interface as default. Also this version has support for multi-touch interfaces.

Try these steps after you installed it.  http://goo.gl/VBPc3
