| eipi10 | I am hoping someone can inform this ignoramus. | 16:13 |
|---|---|---|
| eipi10 | I have gecko MP 1.0.9, yet about:plugins still reads 'vulnerable' for quicktime plugin | 16:13 |
| eipi10 | is that the latest Gecko? Do I still need to update quicktime? why is it called quicktime if it uses gecko? Am I over-simplifying? Is there a way not to use quicktime? | 16:15 |
| gQuigs | it might be checking the version of quicktime instead | 16:16 |
| eipi10 | so gecko is an "insert" so to speak of quicktime? | 16:18 |
| gQuigs | yup | 16:18 |
| gQuigs | eipi10: although it hasn't been updated in ages and appears to be a dead project | 16:18 |
| gQuigs | eipi10: are you sure you need it? | 16:18 |
| eipi10 | I'd rather not | 16:18 |
| gQuigs | then uninstall it :) | 16:18 |
| gQuigs | did it come with an image or something? | 16:19 |
| eipi10 | I just installed lubuntu and with it ubuntu-restricted-extras | 16:19 |
| eipi10 | 14.04.3 | 16:20 |
| eipi10 | isn't gecko the native player for all kinds of stuff in ubuntu? | 16:20 |
| gQuigs | gecko is what the Firefox engine is called under the hood | 16:21 |
| eipi10 | ah | 16:21 |
| eipi10 | can I chuck QT in the terminal? | 16:21 |
| eipi10 | toss | 16:21 |
| gQuigs | sudo apt-get remove gecko-mediaplayer | 16:22 |
| eipi10 | wait, I thought I was removing quicktime | 16:22 |
| gQuigs | gecko = firefox, it likely has a few plugins within it, quicktime, windows media player, etc | 16:25 |
| gQuigs | I haven't seen any websites that require any of them for a while | 16:25 |
| eipi10 | if I remove gecko, then adobe flash plays everything (it's installed) | 16:27 |
| eipi10 | do you use FF? | 16:28 |
| gQuigs | I don't have flash installed :) | 16:29 |
| gQuigs | but yes I use Firefox | 16:29 |
| gQuigs | alternatively you could just disable the specific plugin from addons -> plugins | 16:30 |
| eipi10 | how tf do you watch spewtube nd all that garbage? | 16:32 |
| gQuigs | ' | 16:32 |
| gQuigs | ?? youtube? | 16:32 |
| eipi10 | yeah | 16:32 |
| gQuigs | it defaults to HTML5 now | 16:32 |
| gQuigs | some ads do still require flash | 16:32 |
| eipi10 | I didnt know html5 handled all that | 16:33 |
| eipi10 | and you don't use adobe flash? | 16:34 |
| gQuigs | nope | 16:34 |
| eipi10 | thats killer. adobe is invasive. | 16:35 |
| eipi10 | I wanna get rid of all this crap | 16:35 |
| gQuigs | well try uninstalling them both and see how it goes | 16:35 |
| gQuigs | you can always reinstall | 16:35 |
| eipi10 | yeah, those are my thoughts exactly. gecko runs everything besides shockwave | 16:36 |
| eipi10 | on my pc I mean | 16:37 |
| eipi10 | why is this stuff included with a minimalist iso like lubuntu? | 16:37 |
| eipi10 | whats adobe flash specifically called so I can remove it in command line? | 16:42 |
| gQuigs | it varies, try dpkg -l | grep flash | 16:44 |
| eipi10 | thanks. I was just looking up command lines. I'm a virgin. | 16:45 |
| gQuigs | dpkg -l lists all installed packages | 16:45 |
| eipi10 | sweet. thanks! | 16:45 |
| eipi10 | spewlube works fine | 16:53 |
| gQuigs | :) | 17:57 |
| eipi10 | adios | 19:11 |
