Isn't that what the price editor is for ? As I understand it, you create a 
security in the securities editor, but update its price in the price editor. 
This is done so because one security can have many prices.

Have you used Ubuntu's package manager to install GnuCash ? I believe it's 
called Synaptics, but I'm not using Ubuntu myself, so I'm not totally sure.

Anyway, using the package manager is the recommende way to install GnuCash. 
That should be a fairly automated process which also installs all the 
necessary documents. 

Uninstalling GnuCash would be done via the same package manger.
