newubuntu10_04usI just installed Ubuntu for the first time and I'm trying to figure out a few things. I hope this is the place to com to find patient people that have answers...:) The first thing I'm trying to do is run a program SpyNoMore from http://spynomore.com and I can't seem to get it to install. I'm starting there, because my computer had a VERY stubborn virus that required removing the partitions from the fixed disk...so 03:26

dogwalkerI'm about to install the 64-Bit Ubuntu 10.04 on an AMD-64 Based CPU, and I wonder if anyone knows if Javascript is installed by default.05:53
tenachdogwalker, Java or Javascript?05:54
tenachFrom what I understand, you don't install javascript, as it's handled by a web browser.05:54
dogwalkerJavascript, tenach, I need it to be supported for my bank's Web interface.05:55
tenachBy default Firefox is installed with javascript enabled.05:55
tenachWhen you install Ubuntu05:55
dogwalkerThank you very much for your help.05:55
tenachNo problem! :)05:55
tenachIf you have any more questions, just ask :D05:55
tenachIf I can't help, someone else is bound to be able to.05:56
dogwalkerI've got a problem with my Windows XP and the Nvidia GT 8500 card, and it appears to be "un-fixable".05:56
tenachWhat sort of problem?05:56
dogwalkerSo I'll slave the windows Disk to the Ubuntu install (on separate hard disk) and copy the files off.05:57
dogwalkerFatal Error/BSOD.05:57
dogwalkerand I've already tried re-loading the driver from Nvidia05:58
dogwalker<no resolution>.05:58
kermiacholstein: I noticed you're in the BugSquad mentorship program mate, feel free to come & join in on the session in #ubuntu-au. It starts in a couple of minutes05:58
dogwalkerSo before the whole works becomes un-readable...05:58
dogwalkerI'll copy the files over, and call it "Done"05:58
dogwalkerI can't think of anything Linux won't do, once I find applications to install.05:59
holsteinkermiac: thanks06:00
tenachSounds about like how I moved to Linux/Ubuntu, dogwalker.  The version of XP that was installed on my computer decided to call itself invalid, so instead of arguing with the tech support guys again, I just moved over to here.06:01
