enabling component called universe

I just installed BT5 but im having an issue when i run "apt-get install basket" and i get the following error:
The program 'basket' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
apt-get install basket
You will have to enable the component called 'universe'

so my question is how to enable the component called universe???

You must be blind, cause I found the answer just by looking at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd links, and I'm sure the answer can be found on hundreds of other results.

To everyone else who *did* Google for how to resolve this (and that's how they found themselves on this thread), in recent versions of Ubuntu:

Go to:
System Administration -> Add/Remove Software -> Settings -> Edit Software Sources

check the box: community maintained open source software (universe)

Telling people to Google when they already did is kind of silly, does anyone actually use forum search anymore?

IF you are using the command line, type "startx" (without the quotes) to access the GUI interface
