GeodudeI installed Firefox 6 the other day and it's saying I don't have flash installed. But I do. It's in my Ubuntu Software Center, and flash is working in Chrome/Chromium. How do I tell Firefox I have flash installed already?04:09
pedro3005and how did you install it?04:10
pedro3005and do they have firefox 6 already?04:10
GeodudeI downloaded the .tar.bz or whatever and I put it in the place where firefox 3.6 was.04:14
pedro3005i'm not sure that qualifies as installing04:17
GeodudeWell, it works with firefox %u04:23
GeodudeSo whatever you call that.04:24
GeodudeHow do you execute a .sh script?04:24
pedro3005sh bla.sh, if i recall correctly04:25
GeodudeIt seriously can't be this difficult. I _already_ have flash installed!04:45
bioterrorseems so04:50
GeodudeAlso, my update manager keeps popping-under and telling me I need to "upgrade" firefox 6 to firefox 3.6. Is there a way to disable that?04:51
bioterrorwhat?04:52
bioterrorhow did you install FireFox 6?04:52
GeodudeI did some CLI stuff and then I did firefox %u and it works. I don't know.04:53
GeodudeI think I basically downloaded firefox 6, deleted the firefox 3.6 folder, and moved the firefox 6 folder in its place.04:54
bioterrorGeodude, you should read about package management04:59
bioterrorwhy using package manager is better than playing with random files05:00
GeodudeFirefox 6 is not in a package manager right now.05:01
Geodude3.6 is the last version Ubuntu supports.05:01
IAmNotThatGuyFF6 ? O_o?05:01
bioterrorfor fox sake!05:02
GeodudeAnd I could never get flash working on that, either.05:02

IAmNotThatGuyI am not finding a flash plugin for FF605:03
bioterrorGeodude, https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable05:03
GeodudeI understand what a PPA is.05:03
bioterrorthen you climb to tree backwards?05:03
bioterrorwhy05:04
bioterrorfix for you firefox mixups05:04
bioterrorand do dpkg-reconfigure for your flash05:04
bioterrorif that's not fixing the problem, we can continue05:05
GeodudeWow, I wish someone had told me there was a 6.0 PPA.05:06
GeodudeI spent two hours installing firefox manually.05:06
GeodudeI added the PPA. it says 'remove'.05:06
bioterroryou wasted two hours for that? took 30secs to load google, type "firefox ppa" without "" and press enter05:07
GeodudeUnfortunately firefox.com doesn't say there's a PPA. It just says "download now! click here, linux user!"05:08
bioterrorGeodude, yeah, that's for windows and mac users05:08
Geodude_"LINUX USER"_05:08
GeodudeIt's a tar.bz2 file it's not for windows users lol.05:08
bioterrorfirefox.com is for Windows and Mac users05:09
bioterrorLinux users always uses package manager05:09
GeodudeWell, why does it say linux on it then?05:09
bioterrorbecouse they like to troll!05:09
Geodudelol05:09
IAmNotThatGuybioterror, :P05:10
GeodudeSo, obviously I have firefox installed correctly. Because it's not giving me the option to install it. It says it's already installed.05:10
bioterrorGeodude, sure you have if you rm -rf'd old one ;)05:10
bioterrorand then copied those tar.bz2 files into that place05:11
GeodudeSo why were you telling me earlier that I messed it up?05:11
bioterrorI'm rather sarcastic05:13
Geodudeso how do I do dpkg-reconfigure for my flash?05:13
GeodudeI'll come back when there are less trolls.05:18
IAmNotThatGuyis there a troll here?05:18

adrian__hi I have just installed ubuntu 11.04 Desktop on my Presario-V6000 (hp laptop)the v6000 has broadcom network and wireless built in and needs the commands 'sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb' followed by 'sudo modprobe b43' to switch the wireless on everytime ubuntu is started how do I now make this module part of my kernel build?10:15
r4yI am running atari800 on Ubuntu and this is the command I have to open it: atari800 -width 1024 -height 768 -dsprate 48000 -fullscreen10:57
r4yWhen I open atari800 the emulator I want to make it automatically Run Atari program, so I can pick right from the roms. the manpage says to use -run but if I put that at the end of this command atari800 doesn't open, and if I put -run right after atari800 atari800 is not in fullscreen and I remember if fullscreen isn't added fullscreen doesn't work.10:59
bioterrorI have Atari 2600jr.10:59
bioterrorpart of my childhood!10:59
r4yMine as well.10:59
r4yI wanted to see what atari 800 is like for fun.11:00
r4yI remember Jungle Hunt and Moon Patrol, and many others, but there are a lot more games for the Atari 2600 then I knew existed.11:02
r4y-run doesn't seem to do what I want atari800 to do anyways11:03
r4yCan I run a keyboard as part of a command somehow after an emulator is started? or program is started?11:09
r4yI meant keyboard shortcut11:09
