i'm worst than a noob when it comes to computers all i use my old acer aspire one for is watching the odd you tube clip,anyway i fired up my acer the other day and was greeted with the message "ive got to install latest macromedia plugin to watch this video.....Ive tried all i can to get flashplayer,i downloaded yum,tar,rpm..tried troublshooting the various forums for tips on getting it installed but to no avail.im running linpus and my acer is quite old.Believe it or not ive even managed to find out how to get root user priveleges still doesnt help though,ive downloaded and extacted more than i can remember lol tried copying to differnt destinations but nothing......one said to copy file to /usr/lib/opera/plugins...but i get message say i dont have authority for that.but i know how in terminal to get root.
I have an Asus Eee Pc 701 4G Celeron 900 Mhz using Xandros Linux i686/32 bit.Adobe has several options for download. Which do I select for download? Then how do I install? I have firefox 3.something?
I am new to LInux and am trying to run Money 2003 under wine. However, evn though Money starts up, it crashes as soon as I try to load an existing Money file. What am I doing wrong.
there are so many linux distros, most of them are free, they need software engineers to develop the OS, but it was given free,so,how do they make money to pay for their workers' salary?
Probably a stupid question. I want to install flashplayer- found the package on the adobe website- chosen the version (9.04+) and I then get the question 'Choose an application' - to open it with. What do I do now? This prompt simply takes me to file browser. Or is there an easier way to do it?
I just wanted to put Gnuplot on my machine to try it . I have Fedora11 and I have a copy of this program on my installation disk. Yum install goes off and wastes 10 minutes updating its list of files in the repositoryand then starts to deal with what I want. It does not give me the opportunity to say "hey its on this disk already" go get it there . No it unnecessarily updates all its records? Next time I want something it will do the same even an hour or so later WHY?
Is it possible for software to be open source and cost money? I'm pretty sure I've seen it before (Lugaru) though I have no idea what you would call it?
I'm taking a very large collection of music and also newly purchased anime DVDs and adding them to another large existing collection, basically hundreds of ogg/mp3 and OGV-type files on a jukebox system to serve to my PS3 via mediatomb. (No, I'm not handing out copies and risking the feds at my door! I'm just trying to save my CDs and DVDs from ruin by over-replaying.)
My problem is I want to save electricity and minimize my carbon footprint but also I need a LOT of terabytes for what I have and what I will have, since these are going to be DVD quality (and later Blu-Ray quality) movies playing on a big TV from the PS3. I want RAID 6 level redundancy so that when 2 or even 3 drives fail (as Murphy's Law says they will want to do all at once), I can still recover. (Yes, I'm an insurance dude, with all the risk aversion that this implies)
What would y'all suggest that I do here, short of getting the same energy-hogging racks in corporate server rooms? Is there a way to "go green" with a multi terabyte multiple redundancy system or am I just wishfully thinking?
I was hoping I could pick your brains about this if anyone has the time!- I'm going to set up a file server for a record label who's office has fewer than 20 people. I would like it to have > 2TB storage on RAID 5. (To beat their current 2TB on a single disk). I feel like I have a pretty good candidate with this server from here:
1U Server - with 4 x Hot-swap SATA (1156pin) Dual-Core 2.8GHz - Intel Pentium G6950 - 3MB, 533 MHz, 1156pin 4GB memory [URL].. I can pick this up locally to avoid shipping but will have to pay CA state sales tax. About $1000 if I use software RAID, or a little over $1400 w/ their recommended RAID controller- LSI 3Ware 9650SE-4LPML I will buy 4 of these WD RE3 drives: (1TB for $160 w/ TLER for RAID)[URL].. How am I doing here? Am I spending too much? Where do YOU shop for fair priced servers? Would you consider a cheap 2nd hand PowerEdge or something - replacing the SCSI controller with an economical HighPoint RAID controller that supports 4 or 8 SATA2 drives..?
They are prepared to spend some money but I'd really don't want to waste money on anything too overkill. They are friends and also people I work for on occasion. I don't mean to open the can of worms about hardware RAID vs software RAID because the answer is clearly that hardware RAID is better. But for a simple file server? I could afford to get an 8 bay 2U server with room to grow if i didn't spend the cash on that fancy controller. However, I would love for them to see a red LED light up on the server when a drive fails. What would you do?
Last but not least. I'm planning on using ubuntu server + samba. Without starting a "which distro is best" thread, can any one warn me if ubuntu is a poor choice for a file server that they can just turn on an forget about? I've been cutting my teeth on Fedora/Ubuntu for a couple years now. I can still benefit from the ease of use an community support for ubuntu, but I'm not afraid to get my hands a little dirty if there is truly a better choice. But I don't want to curse at the computer. I just want to get the job done!
I've found the office equivalent to MS office that I was currently using and have acclimated myself to those programs. Now, I'm looking for the closest equivalent to Microsoft money where I can access my on-line account and download the transactions as I have been doing with Microsoft Money. I've recently downloaded kmymoney, but I don't know how to set up the on-line account download.
I have downloaded FireFox 4 RC (wow - fast!) and have a Flashplayer issue - the FarmVille game which uses the FlashPlayer does not load - the message was:
Code: If your game does not load within 10 seconds, you may need to upgrade your version of Flash. Please do so by clicking here I did just that - usually Adobe website will tell you if your FlashPlayer is already up to date for the browser you access with it, OR, give you the option to update (which I did in my case) - but after updating, it still does not bring FarmVille up, and I get the same message, click the Adobe Link, and offers me to update it again.
Anyone know a workaround - because the new Firefox has the speed like Google Chrome does, and FireFox has been my favorite for years, but I have resorted to using Google Chrome for the past several months due to its speed (I have only 1 MB DSL download speed, and it seems that FarmVille is better with such speed).
Just what the title says, Natty Narwhal doesn't want me on ..... or other Flash powered sites in either Chrome or Firefox. Clicking the "Install Adobe Flash" button sends me to the Adobe website where I can install it, but nothing works.
On my lucid install I upgraded to Firefox 6. Once I did that, I discovered that flash-player crashed. I tried flash-aid and tried every possible flash alternative.That did not work either. I decided to upgrade to Firefox 7 beta. It is the same story there. When I had Firefox 5, flash worked fineMy system is an amd quad-core 3ghz with ati 4200 graphics. Flash worked until my upgrades to Firefox 6 then to Firefox 7.
Did an update, no idea if that has anything to do with it, not anything to do with flashplayer that I noticed but could have been perhaps, and flashplayer has gone down. So no videos from ..... etc.
I just installed FC10 and i'm using Firefox 3.6 (the newest version)when i try to access ..... in gnu, it works fine, but for some reason in KDE it says i'm missing the plug in.When i click the link for installing the plug in, it starts downloading and installing, but gets interrupted saying the plug in is already installed.
I'm getting no sound with the flashplayer plugin in either Konqueror or Firefox. It was working until recently. The video is OK, but I cannot hear any sound.I've tried all sorts of things to fix this, but to no avail
I installed SuSE 11.1 again because of the higher resolution. Installed manually the latest Adobe Flashplayer and all worked well. Now I installed Firefox 3.6 and it also works well except for the flashplayer. I cannot reinstall the player because it is already installed.
I installed the new flashplayer beta 10.1 and the video is good except it is all a pink haze. It seems to have problems with colors. Im presuming it is to do with a flashplayer installation problem, or could it be my video settings etc ? (eg perhaps my integrated video card can't take the strain ?)
Yes there are probably about 10 000 security flaws with the old one but the performance of 10.1 just does not cut it for me. I was much happier with the old version and I was stupid enough to let it get upgraded.
I installed the newest Flash player in an update a few days ago, and now ever since last night, every time I watch a Flash video I get graphics problems. It looks as if the Flash video is stuck in the centre of the screen and if anything black (text, notifications) are in the way, they show the video behind them. Hard to explain what I mean Nothing shows up when I run ps ax.
In addition, all Flash videos are now jumbled up with pixels and weird looking glitches.
- Happens with Firefox, Minefield, and Chromium. - Using latest proprietary NVIDIA drivers available in Jockey - NVIDIA Geforce 8400m graphics - Restarting or using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace always fixes the problem.

I installed a Ktu 10.04 - 64b yesterday on a lenovo TP edge. So far, everything works well, put i cannot install de flashplayer for firefox nor chrome. Found a lot of info about installing it on Kntu 8 and 9 (i had one and it worked well), but it doesn't work. I tried downloading the .tar file from the adobe site, and then creating the pligins folder on .mozilla and saving the file there, but it doesn't workd.
Yesterday I used slackupdate.sh [0.7.3] from darklinux.net to update Slackware 13.1, 32 bit version. I got Firefox 3.6.6, installed it, moved the libflashplayer.so to the new plugins directory. Now I can't play utube videos. about: plugins says that flashplayer is installed and working. Grabbed flash from Adobe website, overwrote the existing one, still no joy. Asked in the Firefox user forum. Answer 'same thing happen to me -- Windows Vista' ...I'm not an advanced user. So, is this a Slackware problem, an Adobe problem, or a Firefox problem? I'm asking here because y'all are more likely to point me to a solution. I've always been able to grab the Linux version of Flash from Adobe website and install it
I am having trouble with Flashplayer 10.1 d51 screwing up the colors on a lot of videos, .....,etc. It is really strange and hard to describe. it makes the video almost like it has a pink curtain over the video and only able to see outlines of the video subject matter. When the scene changes, it while sort of clear and then spread again. I can boot into Ubuntu 9.10 and can play the video just fine.
It doesn't do it on all videos. But, it does it quite often. Plus, I have another Slack 13 system with S3 Virge that plays the same videos just fine.
