[22:06] et-0nd: you are using 64bit? [22:06] i installed today ubuntu 7.10 [22:06] et-0nd: type this in a terminal and tell me the output: uname -a [22:06] !terminal [22:06] 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 [22:07] uname -a [22:07] Linux athlon-desktop 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 08:02:57 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux [22:08] you are not using 64bit, so you do not need nspluginwrapper [22:08] At the moment, the flash package is broken, so we install it manually. K? [22:08] sure [22:08] http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash [22:08] grab the tar.gz file from that site and put it on your Desktop [22:09] http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz [22:09] wget [22:09] yep [22:09] done [22:10] tar xvf or... [22:10] now, 'tar xf install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz' [22:10] or with 'v' if you want verbose :) [22:10] then 'cd install_flash_player_9_linux' [22:11] then 'mkdir -p ~/.mozilla/plugins' [22:11] done [22:11] then 'cp libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins' [22:11] then restart firefox [22:11] then enjoy annoying flash ads :P [22:12] Heh, when you have it working, be sure to install the noscript extension... to disable flash. :) [22:12] ha [22:13] thanx it works i have other questions can i ask [22:13] et-0nd: here's the details as to why the flash package is not working (if you care): [22:13] !flash [22:13] 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] flash is working [22:13] et-0nd: best to ask in #ubuntu, so everyone can help [22:14] well it seems i can get faster help in this room then in that other room [22:14] et-0nd: k, you can ask, but I'm not sure I can answer :) [22:14] its just a basic ubuntu question [22:14] go for it [22:17] 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 [22:18] k [22:18] 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] how many hard drives do you have? [22:19] one 80gb [22:19] try 'df -h' [22:19] make sure things add up... [22:20] http://www.pastebin.ca/881151 [22:20] hmm [22:20] how about 'sudo fdisk -l' [22:21] http://www.pastebin.ca/881160 [22:23] is vista still on my pc [22:23] nope [22:23] k [22:23] you've got 74GB for / and 1.5GB for swap [22:24] i think i choosed options ubuntu to have the space it wants something like that [22:25] but i never see it was formatin and removin vista [22:25] 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] it should offer that option early on et-0nd [22:26] sure, is 7.10 the latest ubuntu [22:27] yes, latest stable [22:28] 7.10 means 2007, the 10th month, which is 2007 october [22:28] and ubuntu releases every 6 months. So the next one will be 8.04, in April [22:29] are there any security tools to protect my ubuntu all i have is firestarter [22:29] you don't need any [22:30] firestarter isn't really necessary either, since ubuntu has no services listening on any ports by default [22:31] ok thanx for your assistance now i will read about ubuntu, thanx again you were so kindhearted [22:32] no problem [22:37] 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 === bmk789 is now known as bmk789_AT_BAND === bmk789_AT_BAND is now known as bmk789_at_band
