Ubuntu 9.10 is out!!!

When downloading Ubuntu 9.10 please consider using bittorrent to get your copy of Ubuntu.

The Ubuntu Developers Summit for Lucid Lynx will be held the week of 16-Nov-2009 till 20-Nov-2009 in Dallas, TX USA. Visit the the Ubuntu wiki for more information about UDS and how to participate remotely.

The Community Cafe
The Community Chat area is for lighthearted and enjoyable discussions, like you might find around a water cooler at work.

Almost any non-tech-support topic may be discussed here. Discussions on religion and politics are not allowed, except for politics directly related to free and open source issues. Any topic or discussion that causes problems or drama will be closed. This area is intended for fun and community building, not arguments. Please take those elsewhere. Thanks!

Re: Flash! In Chromium! On Linux!
How did you pull this one off? And can I see a game on somthing like AddictingGames being played because with YouTube being owned by Google they may ahve made a bit of compatibility there.

I entered the following commands in a terminal a few days ago:

Code:
cd /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
Until today's update, only sound was working, but now sound and video are working.

The only thing that saddens me, though, is that Pandora doesn't seem to want to load all the way.

Am I the only person who doesn't care about Google Chrome? I like Google but Chrome just feels too lightweight compared with Firefox.

I think this browser has a lot of potential. Just give it some time.

Re: Flash! In Chromium! On Linux!
Please note that using the command:

Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin.so
should also work instead of

Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
For some reason, on my computer, the only thing in the Firefox plugins folder was flashplugin-alternative.so.
