Thank you, kind human :-) I ran flash aid in Firefox, and Flash now works in both Firefox and Chrome.

Flash had been working fine in both Chrome and Firefox until yesterday. Now I get a message saying that it's out of date, but so far I haven't been successful with installing Flash 10. First, I did...

Shutting off the PSU for a minute and then turning it back on before booting fixed the problem, so I'll consider the problem resolved. I'm not an advanced enough user to know what I'm looking for in...

I connect to a Linksys Wireless-B router in my home. My connection was working fine last night, but when I booted up my computer this morning, nothing shows up in my list of available connections. ...

Thanks! That worked perfectly.

A new development. Although testing the camera still gets me the same results, I decided to Skype my girlfriend on her computer on the other room- Both sound and video worked (though the video is...

Well, in any case, I'm satisfied. Cairo Dock works reasonably well and I can watch videos.

OK, so I've been having problems with my new webcam in Skype. It's a Creative Live! Socialize HD. I tried this:



And the test worked fine. Cheese works fine. In chatroulette I can see my...

I already have Cheese, and my cam works fine in it. I don't know anything about dmesg.

OK so I'm still kinda green. What do I do with the file "adobe_flash_intaller-ubuntu-64bit" once I've downloaded it? I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit.

I just got a new webcam. It's a Creative Live! Socialize HD. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit. In Skype, when I go to Options>video devices, it shows up under "Select webcam" as "VF0610 Live! Cam...

UPDATE: I shutdown my computer this morning and when I booted it up tonight, the network icon wasn't in the notification area (and still isn't), but my computer automatically connected to the...

I've been running 9.10 64-bit for three months now and before that I was running 9.10 32-bit on my old computer- this is the first time I've had these problems.

It used to be the case that when I'd start my computer up, it would automatically log on to my home network and I could immediately get on-line. Now, when I boot up, the network icon doesn't even...

The 2nd case- I was trying to record sound from my desktop (from VLC and Songbird). I don't have a mic, so I can't test to see if that works.

It's been a bumpy road, but I'm getting there. I installed ffmpg successfully, and I can make a lossless video recording of my desktop- but there's no sound. I have pulseaudio, but I already tried...

I just saw an ad on TV the other day for this computer store where they brag about how they "won't make you buy a computer with an OS you don't want." I thought, great! A computer store that sells...

OK cool, I'm able to update without getting errors now. Thanks!

Thanks! I had tried shutting down firestarter and mobloquer before and it didn't work, but this time I tried leaving both programs open but stopping their activity, and this works.



I solved...

Don't I need that?
