I REALLY NEED HELP WITH LINUX!!?
In order for me to do something like listen to music, videos, etc it tells me that I have to download Adobe Flash Player. It gives me these choices:
YUM for linux
.tar.gz for linux
.rpm for linux
.deb for ubuntu 8.04+
I tried all of them and nothing. I did use the terminal and it tells me:
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
-What am I doing wrong?! When I tried going to the sites it tells me that I have to download the A.F.Player–again.
-I also wanted to add brushes on my GIMP and it denied it. It says that "root" is the owner..I really want to add things to my GIMP. I already downloaded brushes n stuff from deviantart and when I do try pasting it wont. What can I do in order for me to add brushes? How can I get rid of the "root"–well not rid of it–I want "root" to approve it.
May someone PLEASE explain to me step by step on what to do. I would REALLY appreciate it. Thank you!! Take care!! =)

first of all you need to login as "root" i.e when you login the username should be root and the password for it, if you know the password
then login to your account, then open a terminal
type "su"
you will be prompted for a password, give the roots password and you will be root.
now you can download the brushes an all
