I’m on a Linux compter in one of my college’s computer labs, it’s 64-bit and running Red Hat distribution. From http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ I tried both .tar.gz and .rpm.

When I unzipped the tar file I got a file called libflashplayer.so, and when I tried to open it I got an error that said "couldn’t display [path]/libflashplayer.so".

When I extracted the the .rpm, I got a folder with 2 folders inside, lib and share, and a bunch of files and folders within those. I found another file called libflashplayer.so, and it gave the same error.

Anyone know how to get it to work?

I’m on a Linux compter in one of my college’s computer labs, and it’s saying it doesn’t have Flash Player. The computer is 64-bit and running Red Hat distribution. What version of Flash should I get from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ ? (if you can’t see the Linux options, they are):

YUM for Linux
.tar.gz for Linux
.rpm for Linux
.deb for Ubuntu 8.04+
APT for Ubuntu 9.04+
btw, I’ve had to "zip" a few tarballs for my programming class, so I know how to extract .tar.gz files. would that be the best option?

i am trying to redo a friends computer it is a Acer Aspire One it had Windows XP on it and Ubuntu Netbook wont install on it i am downloading Linpus Linux Lite that acer uses on its Aspire Ones only thing is i know nothing about Linpus how easy is it to use compared to a long time windows user and is it Ubuntu (.deb) based or Fedora (.rpm) based?

i downloaded libre office for 64bit ubuntu 10.10 rc and all i get is a bunch of rpm files? wtf how do i install it

I’m using Mandriva Linux, so programs you want me to download would have to be rpm.

I downloaded the solarisStudio 12.2 rpm package for linux directly from Oracle. Is there a way I can use the Mandriva "Install & Remove Software" installer to install it? Cause I don’t understand their install Instructions. Also if it doesn’t work on mandriva, how would I be able to do this with downloaded software that was compatible with mandriva?

Everytime i play any kind of audio or video (more specifically with audio) my computer crashes! Its a selfmade computer with an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ CPU, 2gb of memory, and 74 gb 10,000 rpm hard drive.

The computer hasnt been running correctly ever since the power went out one day and obviously my computer shut down. When i booted it up again, it ALWAYS freezes when audio/video plays. I have updated all the drivers for both audio/video and done windows update.

I have the same problem witn windows 2000, win xp pro, win xp 64bit AND linux! Is it my motherboard or soundcard (creative audigy 2)?

One more thing to note is my motherboard has an ATI video chipset with PCI express x16 and i’m using a NVIDIA pci video card (very old school). I havnt bought a new video card (pci express ATI) due to this issue, i dont want to waste my money.

I read a few tutorials on how to do it from the Terminal but that’s RIDICULOUSLY difficult. Anyways that I could do it using a RPM installation and a GUI tool to write my SQL queries??

plz help me i cant decide which one to get
YUM for linux
.tar.gz for linux
.rpm for linux
.deb for Ubuntu 8.04+
im sorry but i didnt understand any of that

rpm
zip
msi

Also just a side question, does not need to be answered but where can I find a Free copy of Everest as a rpm in Linux?
I download a bios update but it dosent load or do anything at all, it just boots into Linux (Fedora Core 6) as per normal

I used to be able to play runescape on my Acer aspire one until one day i clicked ‘Play now’ and it said i needed to install a missing plugin called Java Runtime Enviroment. I clicked install and immediately after a window came up saying no plugins were installed and gave me an option for manual installation. Ive read on other websites such as http://en.kioskea.net/faq/4731-installing-java-runtime-environment-on-linux these people said that you need a file calledjdk-6u12-linux-i586-rpm.bin BUT i cant find this file anywhere !! Also if u find the download can u tell me how to install it Thanks. Much appreciated and i hope i get back on soon ( i use Firefox 3.6)

I installed mandriva, and my disk drive got broken shortly after. So I tried to update to the newest version and nothing works, plus it stayed at Mandriva 2009 instead of 2010. I can’t open urpmi, can’t install things from .RPM packages, can’t update, etc. etc. and graphic acceleration won’t (can’t) start, I have to run metacity from terminal and everything goes very slow. Nothing works now, what do I do?
and yes, I have tried replacing the kernel, as suggested before.

Thanks in advance.
No, no. My DVD drive broke, so I can’t put a new CD in to install Linux. It’s not the hard drive.
Let me assure you, NOTHING works, not even booting from USB… I’m not new to Linux, I have tried USB booting, Unetbootin, etc. Not even that will work. It’s not the hard drive and I’m starting to think that the only way I can fix it is to get a new DVD drive, but that will take a long time to get for me.

Does anyone here know anything at all about Java/Linux?? I need Java but I’m thoroughly confused what version to download for my 10.04 Ubuntu OS (says "You are using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS – the Lucid Lynx")… Do I do Linux RPM (self-extracting file), Linux (self-extracting file), Linux x64, OR OR Linux x64 RPM???
I’m so used to a Windows OS, that I’m confused here… I know jack squat about Linux, but I’m having to temp. use it for a bit….. Any help here would be greatly appreciated

I have just finished downloading and installing java on my acer netbook on linux. (jre-6u23-linux-rpm.bin) I know need help Enabling it as i dont understand how to. I am taking instructions from this website http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml#rpm but i dont understand the final part of enabling and configuring it. I have used the directory cd /home/user which worked when i was installing it and im pretty sure i own firefox3.6 on my netbook.
Can someone PLEASE tell me how to enable and configure it as i really dont understand ( please give as a step to step guide) Will give best answer to whoever explains it well. Thank you (:

First, my details:
-I’m running Fedora Core 8.
-I’m using the RPM from AIM’s website to install the package.
-I’m on the root account.
-I’m connected to the internet.

When I install the package, I get an error while resolving the dependencies. The exact error is:

Error resolving dependencies

Unable to resolve dependencies for some packages selected for installation.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi guys. I was using Linux for the last two years but finally caved in and bought an old computer for my girlfriend to use her iphone on. My question is whether I can just remove the hard drive I have on my Everex TC2502 Green gPC w/ Via C7-D Processor (Some quick specs 1.5 Ghz, 512 MB DDR2 533 MHz SDRAM, 80GB Hard Drive Disk, 7200 RPM, UniChrome processor IGP) to the "new" used IBM ThinkCentre S51 Desktop PC – Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz, 1GB DDR333, 40GB HDD, CD-ROM, Windows XP Pro (more specs small form factor, 2 expansion slots, 3GHz, 7200 RPM).
How do I set it up to where Windows is the main OS (primary driver), and I can access files eg music, photos and videos on the older computer?
I hope I provided enough tech details to assist solving this question, any other details, email and I will update asap. Thank you.
Hey, I don’t want to use Linux if I don’t have to. I was just wondering if there was any way I could use the 80GB of memory that are on the old computer, via making the new computer that is running Wondows only, a 120 GB computer? While I like Linux, we need to use Windows for the time being. Thannk you.

I just installed this about a week ago; it’s version 10, Julia. And I’m a first-time Linux user.

I’ve been using AVG Free for many years on Windows and really like it; in fact, it’s still installed and running on the XP partition on this computer. Now I’d like to put it on this Mint installation. But when I access that page on the AVG Free site – http://free.avg.com/us-en/download.prd-alf – I see several choices:
deb
rpm
sh
tar.gz

And I don’t know which of these will work with my version of Mint.

Each of these files is almost 90 megabytes. I’m on a wireless connection which not only is not very fast, but also has a monthly limit. So I really would like to get the right one downloaded the first time. Which one should I choose?

Thanks in advance for your help.

(I put this question on the Mint users forum as well, so you might see it there if you’re a member. But sometimes I have better luck here, so I decided to put it in both places.)

I have tried following various forums, but I am completely lost.

I started using Linux two days ago. I have 64 bit MINT 10. I do not know more than rudimentary command prompt.
I bought a canon PIXMA MP250 printer.
Now I need to make the two work together.

I am pretty sure my problem is with getting the drivers. Can someone give me a step by step and exact command prompt needed (if any) on how to get this printer to work? Including any commands I may need to type or things I may need.

Basically, I can’t get sudo apt-get install ((anything)) to work…I am not even sure if I am using that right.

I think the drivers I need are located here:

http://support-au.canon.com.au/P/search?model=PIXMA+MP250&menu=download&filter=0&tagname=g_os&g_os=Linux

But I don’t know which one(s) or what rpm even is..and another forum said I need to "link the filter" because I have 64 bit…and I am still clueless.

Any help is appreciated. Thank You.
