Can´t import files

Hello,

I´m new to blender and i want to import .3ds or .obj or other file´s but if I import or open the file´s no one works they all give the error ¨unknown file type error, check console¨ and ¨Loading /… failed, file is not a blender file¨ I only can open .blend file´s
I´m using Ubuntu Linux.

PS: if there´s anyone who did like to export a little chair I have in .obj and .3ds to .blend should that be really nice, you can email me at [email protected].

thanks,
Piet Verschuren(sorry for the bad English)

Are you going through the import menu?
Cause it sound slike your using the Open menu

Should work, are you using the right file categroy?
Oh, and .obj has given better results for me, then .3ds files.
