| et-0nd | hello | 22:05 |
|---|---|---|
| jrib | hi | 22:05 |
| jrib | we aren't going to use the script, because random scripts from forums tend to cause problems... | 22:06 |
| jrib | et-0nd: you are using 64bit? | 22:06 |
| et-0nd | i installed today ubuntu 7.10 | 22:06 |
| jrib | et-0nd: type this in a terminal and tell me the output: uname -a | 22:06 |
| jrib | !terminal | 22:06 |
| ubotu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 22:06 |
| et-0nd | uname -a | 22:07 |
| et-0nd | Linux athlon-desktop 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 08:02:57 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux | 22:07 |
| jrib | you are not using 64bit, so you do not need nspluginwrapper | 22:08 |
| jrib | At the moment, the flash package is broken, so we install it manually. K? | 22:08 |
| et-0nd | sure | 22:08 |
| jrib | http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash | 22:08 |
| jrib | grab the tar.gz file from that site and put it on your Desktop | 22:08 |
| et-0nd | http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz | 22:09 |
| et-0nd | wget | 22:09 |
| jrib | yep | 22:09 |
| et-0nd | done | 22:09 |
| et-0nd | tar xvf or... | 22:10 |
| jrib | now, 'tar xf install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz' | 22:10 |
| jrib | or with 'v' if you want verbose :) | 22:10 |
| jrib | then 'cd install_flash_player_9_linux' | 22:10 |
| jrib | then 'mkdir -p ~/.mozilla/plugins' | 22:11 |
| et-0nd | done | 22:11 |
| jrib | then 'cp libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins' | 22:11 |
| jrib | then restart firefox | 22:11 |
| jrib | then enjoy annoying flash ads :P | 22:11 |
| ToyKeeper | Heh, when you have it working, be sure to install the noscript extension... to disable flash. :) | 22:12 |
| jrib | ha | 22:12 |
| et-0nd | thanx it works i have other questions can i ask | 22:13 |
| jrib | et-0nd: here's the details as to why the flash package is not working (if you care): | 22:13 |
| jrib | !flash | 22:13 |
| ubotu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash - The Flash package is currently BROKEN, see « /msg ubotu FlashIssues » | 22:13 |
| et-0nd | flash is working | 22:13 |
| jrib | et-0nd: best to ask in #ubuntu, so everyone can help | 22:13 |
| et-0nd | well it seems i can get faster help in this room then in that other room | 22:14 |
| jrib | et-0nd: k, you can ask, but I'm not sure I can answer :) | 22:14 |
| et-0nd | its just a basic ubuntu question | 22:14 |
| jrib | go for it | 22:14 |
| et-0nd | ok , i had before ubuntu 6.10 my isp banned my inernet cause my pc was sendin viruses online, so i formated my pc i went back and formated my pc and isntalled windows vista, but vista was not cool desktop like ubuntu so i installed back again ubuntu 7.10 but i dunno what happened while installin ubuntu it never asked me to format my pc now i am wondering is my vista still in my pc | 22:17 |
| jrib | k | 22:18 |
| et-0nd | when i installed before 6.10 ubuntu it asked me to format my hd and create partion this time i think it did not or i messed up something | 22:18 |
| jrib | how many hard drives do you have? | 22:18 |
| et-0nd | one 80gb | 22:19 |
| jrib | try 'df -h' | 22:19 |
| jrib | make sure things add up... | 22:19 |
| et-0nd | http://www.pastebin.ca/881151 | 22:20 |
| jrib | hmm | 22:20 |
| jrib | how about 'sudo fdisk -l' | 22:20 |
| et-0nd | http://www.pastebin.ca/881160 | 22:21 |
| et-0nd | is vista still on my pc | 22:23 |
| jrib | nope | 22:23 |
| et-0nd | k | 22:23 |
| jrib | you've got 74GB for / and 1.5GB for swap | 22:23 |
| et-0nd | i think i choosed options ubuntu to have the space it wants something like that | 22:24 |
| et-0nd | but i never see it was formatin and removin vista | 22:25 |
| jrib | et-0nd: yeah, that's good. I really recommend having a separate /home partition so you can easily reinstall if needed, but just keep that in mind for next time | 22:25 |
| jrib | it should offer that option early on et-0nd | 22:25 |
| et-0nd | sure, is 7.10 the latest ubuntu | 22:26 |
| jrib | yes, latest stable | 22:27 |
| jrib | 7.10 means 2007, the 10th month, which is 2007 october | 22:28 |
| jrib | and ubuntu releases every 6 months. So the next one will be 8.04, in April | 22:28 |
| et-0nd | are there any security tools to protect my ubuntu all i have is firestarter | 22:29 |
| jrib | you don't need any | 22:29 |
| jrib | firestarter isn't really necessary either, since ubuntu has no services listening on any ports by default | 22:30 |
| et-0nd | ok thanx for your assistance now i will read about ubuntu, thanx again you were so kindhearted | 22:31 |
| jrib | no problem | 22:32 |
| et-0nd | i forget something i have asus vga driver v451 on cd, when i am on windows i just install with cd how can i install the vga driver on ubuntu | 22:37 |
