Ubuntu 16.04 shipped with a pretty nasty bug (see here and here): GNOME Software (rebranded as Ubuntu Software in Ubuntu with Unity) doesnt allow installing third-party deb files, like Google Chrome, Google Talk Plugin, the Mega client and so on. 

A fix for this has been pushed to the Ubuntu 16.04 Proposed repository and will be promoted into the main repositories once its tested.

Those interested in testing the latest GNOME Software from the Proposed repository should see THIS page. Note that the Proposed repository is for testing purposes only and may introduce instability! Also, the option to enable the Proposed repository was moved to the "Developer Options" tab in Software & Updates in the latest Ubuntu 16.04.

Until the update is available in the main repositories, you can use GDebi GTK (or dpkg via command line) to install deb files. Check out our Things To Do After Installing Ubuntu 16.04 article for how to install and set GDebi GTK to open deb files, along with other tweaks.

In this tutorial you will learn how to burn a CD or DVD in Windows 10 without any 3rd party Software. We will use Windows 10 pro version for demonstration.

If youre using Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, you wont need any third party software to burn your CD or DVD. You can Use windows Default CD/DVD Burning Feature & its awesome.Simple & does the job perfectly.

Procedure -
Step 1. If you have a perfectly working CD/DVD writer & a blank disk, do the following.

 insert your blank CD or DVD into the media drive. The quality of a burned CD or DVD depends on several things: the brand of CD or DVD, the brand of media drive and the size of data you need to write on CD or DVD (the longer is the writing process, the longer the disc is exposed to a possible error).

Step 2. From the desktop screen, open File Explorer.

Step 3.Your empty DVD or CD should be seen under "Devices and drives". Double-click it.

Step 4. Youll see a "Burn a Disc" box appearing. Type in a name of your CD or DVD in the "Disc title" field and, from the CD/DVD usage options, choose "With a CD/DVD player". Click "Next".

Step 5. Add the contents to your future CD or DVD. Copy the contents from their folder and paste them into blank CD/DVD window or simply drag the contents there.

Step 6. Right-click the white area of the window. From the displayed context menu, click "Burn to Disc".

Step 7. In the "Burn to Disc" box, select the desired recording speed. Usually, the slower is the burning speed; the better is the quality of data writing on CD or DVD.

Step 8. Click "Next" to start burning your CD or DVD. The writing process can take from several minutes to half an hour, depending on the speed of the media drive, and current data quality & format.

Step 9. When your CD or DVD is ready, you can take it out. Check your CD or DVD by opening it on your computer.
