My son would like to know why he can't install and use Shockwave flash on this computer which is running Ubuntu 10.10? I didn't have an explanation why it won't work in Linux yet.....Can someone shed light on this for me please? I think he just wants to play a few simple games on the miniclip website that require shockwave He now says he wants windows back and I want to avert thoughts of going back to those dreadful days.. Is there a way to install it using wine? I don't have a need for wine but I'm sure I could figure it out if its been done before..
View 5 Replies View RelatedIm taking the class now in college once a week. My professor said that we need to install any Linux operating systems so I chose Fedora, but he said we need at least 16GB free of space to install it in our computer, sadly i only have 1GB space left remaining. I told him about it and he told me about installing Fedora in my flash drive that has space of 16GB. I really am interested in this course and want to understand all of this stuff so can anyone tell me the process to install Fedora into flash drive so I can boot it anywhere else other than home? Also since he said I need 16GB to install it don't I got to buy 32GB flash drive at least?

Quote:
A new attack on a Flash bug has surfaced that would give attackers control of a victim�s computer after crashing it, reports PC World. Adobe put out a Security Advisory about this on June 4. It is categorized as a critical issue and all operating systems with Flash are vulnerable including Windows, Linux, and Apple and it is also found in the recent versions of Reader and Acrobat.

when I watch Flash based video, more and more of my memory is eaten up until nothing is left and the system crashes. I don't see anything in the logs so I don't know where to start.
This ONLY happens with Flash.
so here's my problem. I am trying to install windows xp on my computer in virtual machine so i can watch netflix on my computer. The disk will not start up, if I restart and try to boot from load i just sits there and says boot from cd. The disk drive plays music cd's fine, so i dont really know what the issue is.
I dont know that much aboutut ubuntu. a tech friend put it on hard drive he gave me after mine crashed. also i should ad that i took the disk to someone else's house that haswidnows installed and the disk worked just fine, so its not a disk problem
I want to be able to access an old pc at home from any computer but I don't want to leave the computer on all the time (I won't use it regularly and I don't believe in wasting energy just cause I can). I've heard that some bioses have wake-on-LAN but I have no other machine on the LAN that will be left on (apparently it's impossible to wake a computer from off the LAN???) so my solution is to buy a raspberry pi (perhaps there is something cheaper/better??) and leave that on that I can ssh to from anywhere and then wake my pc from there. Unfortunately my bios doesn't have a wake-on-lan function and so I'm hoping that I can update my bios to a version that has a wake-on-lan option (perhaps there is a better way?).

The problem does occur with both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04. Whenever I watch a movie on Megavideo that uses flash, my computer runs so hot I can barely hold it and the video gets really choppy. It makes movies unbearable to watch. Either the fan isn't running at a high enough speed or maybe it needs to be replaced? please give me something...
View 9 Replies View RelatedI installed Boxee on my 64bit install. I had to edit the DEB so it did not install Flash, because Ubuntu still insists on installing the 32bit version which always borks Firefox.
But now I cant run synaptic without getting complaints of broken packages. I just want to blacklist boxee from from annoying the hell out of me, but keep it installed. How do I go about doing that?
I recently got a new Lenovo netbook and I want to make sure that what happened to my last laptop doesn't happen to this thing. I got the idea from some Windows software called Predator, that uses a flash drive to lock a computer. I also know that most Linux distros already have the required components to facilitate this (i.e, they know when you plug in a flash drive). My question is, how do I get my netbook to run scripts or programs when a flash drive is unplugged? This is how I want it to work: The flash drive would be tethered to my wrist with a short strap (or a piece of fishing line, maybe a chain). When someone yanks the netbook away from me (i.e, a thief), they would rip the drive out of the USB port in the process. The netbook, immediately sensing that the drive is no longer plugged in, runs miscellaneous programs or scripts in an attempt to thwart the thief, like activating the screensaver, adding a password to grub, sounding an alarm, and whatever else I want it to do.
I would eventually like to expand this to bluetooth headsets, and other devices that Linux can keep track of. It also has to fit in with my current setup. I installed Xubuntu 9.10 on the netbook and set it up to use an ext3 formatted flash drive as /home. I then installed truecrypt and created two file containers, one for the flash drive (small files, like assignments for college and app config), and one in a hidden directory on the hard drive in the netbook (large files, like my VirtualBox images).This way, the system won't work right without the flash drive, and I can even switch flash drives in the future, when the one I'm currently using dies. Ideally, the system locking program/script would only check for a USB connected device with a special file on it. If I can get this set up, it would be one of the coolest Linux tricks ever pulled with a netbook, and possibly the basis for an awesome new security tool for mobile users.
I'm trying to load the flash stuff in webpages, but it says i need the flash plugin.
I download the YUM rpm installer, and use yum localinstall to do it.
Terminal say: /home/wade/Download/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm: does not update installed package.
I have already tried installing it, and it says it worked fine, but I'm still unable to view flash.
What is the minimum computer spec for playing 1080p flash files via a web browser smoothly at least 25fps? We all know that flash is not very good on Linux. On my old computer, I can play 720p flash files in the browser at arount 25fps on Windows, but on Ubuntu on the same computer via dual OS installation, it struggles to play 420p flash files in the browser. So basically, I want to build a new computer and have Ubuntu as the only OS, but this computer needs to be able to play 1080p flash files via the browser (not by downloading and converting them), but straight from the browser smoothly. Is this possible and what would the minimum computer spec need to be to achieve this?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have two different laptops that I would like to make bootable flash drive installs for, but would then like to have at least /home on a common removable storage (either a big flash drive or USB or ethernet hard drive) to share between the two laptops (I'll only be using one laptop as a Linux box at a time). One laptop (Dell Latitude D410) is only 32 bit capable (Pentium M - I think there's a 64 bit Core 2 CPU available for the socket 479, but I don't know if the BIOS / mobo will support it). If I'm going back and forth between 32 and 64 bits, can I share /home? What else can I share - /usr or anything else?

PS: is it a good idea to install Opensuse on dell d420: C2D ulv 1.2, 1gb ram, 60 HD ? it it'll work well.
I m having problems installing OpenSUSE 11.2 on a Intel SS4200 on a Transcend IDE 4GB Flash Module. I�m using a USB stick as install source. The Intel SS4200 device does not come with PS2 ports. Therefor I�m using USB keyboard and mouse. I have to use the vesa graphics option on the boot menu, otherwise the USB keyboard and mouse won�t work. Unfortunately the OpenSUSE installer does not recognise the Transcend 4GB Flash Module. What can I do?

View 9 Replies View RelatedAt the moment I've got dual-bootable machine with WinXP (25GB on hard disk) and openSUSE 11.2 (20GB on hard disk). After saving the important files on my ~/home I want to wipe off all data from both my partitions and then install WinXP (with 15GB) and openSUSE 11.2 with 30GB. The problem is I'm not sure how to go about doing this? I'm guessing the problem will be the boot process. I installed openSUSE on a machine that already had WinXP and I didn't change any boot settings so it must still be controlled by XP. So presumably I'd have to:
1. Remove openSUSE first and then remove XP using the XP CD.
2. Install XP again
3. Install openSUSE on another partition as I did before but with different partition sizes.
Or should I install openSUSE first before XP? I think I'm more confident on installing XP first since I've already done it earlier. The only other complication is that this is my 'laptop' screen is broken so I use an external monitor. This is what prevented me from formatting my computer earlier.
Thanks.

Heres the image I get when I try to install/try code...
I just put together a new computer, started to install win7 and then tried to install Ubuntu.
Ubuntu (The installer) tells me that I don't have at least 2.6 GB available drive space...
I have a 640GB SATA 3.0 HD and the only thing on it is win7. On previous versions of Ubuntu this was never an problem. Ubuntu always helped me with the partition.
I have tried both the 64 and 32 bit versions of Ubuntu 10.10 and get the same result.
I have installed ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. how can I install flash player? I only find ones for 32 bit.

The thread says to install network-manager. Since she doesn't have access to the internet immediatley available, I need to download it on my own, burn it to a dvd (or onto a flash) and then go to her house to do it myself. Hopefully that will work.
