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