[SOLVED] Ubuntu Downloading, Please HELP!!!!!

[djbon2112]

Okay, you're using Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex, also known as 8.10

The Adobe website says that there's no flash-player version 10 for 64bit Linux (And also not for Mac and Windows).
Can a 64bit Ubuntu user help out ?

And kendo_water, will you be needing Java later on ?

There's an alpha out, you can get it here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html Though it's an alpha, I've been using it for almost a month and haven't had a problem yet. You do have to manually install it, though.

Cool, i didn't know this command, thanks

(I already wondered why Ubuntu kept on having /etc/debian_version and not doing something about that.)

Np, always fun the noob helps

The first one says:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
linux-headers-2.6.27-7 linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

You see where it said this part. apt-get autoremove and apt-get update are 2 common terminal commands the first one would be used like this

sudo apt-get autoremove

which removes packages that are no longer needed such as once a program is installed the original program that it was installed from can be removed without affecting your system.

The other one used like this

sudo apt-get update

Updates your sources so that the list is more up to date and you can get the latest software to install.

It's a good idea to keep more than 1 kernel. One reason for having more than 1 kernel is that if something stops working with the new kernel you can go back to the one that worked.

For me kernel 2.6.27-9-generic made my wifi keep dropping signal but when I boot with kernel 2.6.27-7-generic it stays connected. Go figure.

So I keep them both until a newer one comes out that works then I'll uninstall 1 and still have 2.

Which part isn't working?

as soon as i type
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

all sorts of weird codes come up(and I didn't type ENTER key either), it never gives me the chance to type:

sudo apt-get remove gnash gnash-common libflashsupport mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla && sudo apt-get install alsa-oss faac faad flashplugin-nonfree gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse ia32-libs icedtea6-plugin libavcodec-unstripped-51 libmp3lame0 non-free-codecs openjdk-6-jre unrar

Ok step by step. You're running 8.10 so put this in the terminal (You don't TYPE Enter you just hit the Enter key)

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

Hit Enter and when it finishes
then this

wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

Hit Enter and when it finishes
then this

sudo apt-get remove gnash gnash-common libflashsupport mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla && sudo apt-get install alsa-oss faac faad flashplugin-nonfree gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse ia32-libs icedtea6-plugin libavcodec-unstripped-51 libmp3lame0 non-free-codecs openjdk-6-jre unrar

It should be working

It is a bit weird looking indeed.

You should type "y" (without the "" characters) at a certain point where it asks you "N" or "y".
After that hit the enter key.
When all of that is finished, then you can copy & paste the long line you didn't have a chance to type in.

You may not even have to hit enter as long as it started doing it you're alright.

You got it. Correct
