please tell us which system you are using (ubuntu? which one?) and what version of openarena you are using (0.7.1 , 0.7.7, 0.8.1 ?).

most likely you got an old openarena version from the repository and you should get the newest version of the game (0.8.1) here: http://openarena.ws/download.php?view.2

Also, openarena serches only LAN servers by default. On the server list, on top right corner, click on the word "LOCAL" repeatedly, until it changes into "INTERNET".

Hm should be one click actually :P If it is not clickable press space first (it is searching for lan-servers then, spacebar cancels searching).
