If you like making flash animations, Macromedia Flash works perfectly using Wine!

To install wine, just type in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install wine

 

[gidget]

i meant flashplayer :lol:
i won't make time to learn flash

i don't know if i'll find full support for my wireless multi-function printer:
Brother MFC-845CW

i have yet to look

 

[AceAlabama]

You're fine... it'll work on UBUNTU.

 

[gidget]

i had to DL the alternate ISO for some weird DELL that was given to me :lol: ...sux

[ROB64]

Linux is awesome!
I use Ubuntu Studio v7.10 dual booted with Vista:mad5:
Once i get (or build:yesnod another computer, Linux will be my main OS.
The only reason it isn't right now is because I cant find the right driver for my soundcard (Realtek HDA). I've tried the ALSA drivers, but it doesn't seem to work

Does anyone know if Hardy will support these soundcards???

 

[gidget]

did you try the alternate ISO? i read about how it solves a lot of hardware driver probs... unless your audio card is really new
.

 

[ROB64]

Yes, it's new. Only Vista supported hardware in it
Toshiba Satellite A205-S4577; it has alot of potential to be a good computer but it has Vista on it, so it's pretty slow :lol:

 

[ROB64]

bump
Does anyone who knows ubuntu know what driver to install for this soundcard(in red):

hey, i just installed a printer driver package, but meant to install a different one... (double clicked on the download)

how do i uninstall the one i didn't want so i keep clean?
.

 

[ROB64]

in terminal:

sudo apt-get uninstall *the printer driver package you installed*

this should work

 

[gidget]

in terminal:

sudo apt-get uninstall *the printer driver package you installed*

this should work

thanks, rob64, but it was a deeper problem which i didn't take time to list symptoms

i followed a link to an old copy of software and it didn't install all the way... the new version wouldn't install until i removed the old one.

if this makes sense to you i googled and found the following solution that solved it:

• sudo touch /etc/init.d/lpd
• suco schmod +x /etc/init.d/lpd

this is the crazy stuff i fumbled around with a year ago when i got sick of breaking my OS... i think i'm wiser now, though

thanks for help rob64 :wink:

I just, and i mean just, got Ubuntu and i must say i do enjoy it. My windows xp kept getting the blue screen of death. The only problem i had with the installation was a Grub error 21 but after playing around i was able to fix it no problem.

 

[Gaz]

Been Linux only for just over a year now, and so far I am loving it!

I lol at all the Mac and Windows owners who can't even sync their iPod Touch's wirelessly :lol:

and why would i wanna do that when my usb port which will go max ~200mbps compared to the wireless which goes max 54mbps.
