JOE_X!!!

O.K. "scarecrow' I understand your grounds but I will really be thankfull if you can tell me how to downgrade to Adobe -9.

O.K. but the point is that everything used to be O.K. (even with Mandriva 2007) untill I decided to upgrade to Adobe Flash 10. And as I see on the Youtube forums other people also have problems with Adobe 10.

I have tried to upgrade, but I again get this version.)

Eh, that is the point that I can't watch any video - ablank screen appears on the place of the embedded player. As for the Konsole it is empty -- there is nothing to copy, that is what is in it: [user@localhost home]$ firefox [user@localhost home]$

When I type Firefox in the Konsole , all that happens is that it opens a new window of the browser.

Mandriva 2007 , I don't know about -bits Desktop KDE PowerPack 3.4 Firefox version 1.5.0.7.

Eh...I don't know how to do that. Can you explain step by step.

Yes I have done that and I get a message from Software Installer that package is already installed. However after browsing thru some of the Youtube forums I saw that some of the people who ahve also downloaded Adobe10 encounter the same problem. and the only solution I see given there is to shift to one of the older versions of Flash Player. So how can I downgrade.? By the way does anyone of you use "Youtube" and has similar problems?

It was only one available as far as I remember, it was a zipped package , I tried to extract it with Archive manager but after that lost it's traces. But could this be the cause for the loss of sound and picture?

I have always watched videos on Youtube without particular problem, however last week while browsing thru another site I got a message : "You have an older version of Flash Player installed, to watch this video download the newest version of Adobe Flash Player -10 from here." So I followed the link and downloaded the package for Linux, however nothing happened. This is their site: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/ When I restarted the computer I noticed that I can no longer view Videos on Youtube because the embedded player does not appear and neither sound nor picture is heard or seen. What could be the problem? And how can I fix it?

Of course I am not sure, I don't know even what it means........ :huh:

Sorry , I didn't ask for TOR I asked for a way to effectively hide my I.P. under Linux. I know multiple ways to do that under Windows but that programs do not work for Linux that was my question.

You and "tyme" seem to be very concerned about that issue. No , I donnot want to engage in any anti-governmental activity, However in my country there are other people who maybe interested in my I.P. and have no legitimate right to do so.! That's why I prefer to hide it. Also I don't think IP's are so dynamic as you say. Mine changes only once a year or even less.

SOMETHING IS WRONG! aFTER i LOGIN AS ROOT AND CLICK RUN Mandriva opens window/application KWrite - config -Kwrite which is absolutely empty , blank - - no text, no sentences . What to do??

.....Nice signature... :)

First Thank you for your advices. Now I used the link "ac_dispatcher" gave above and now a red character message appeared in my down- right corner of Firefox which states "Tor disabled" wken I click on it it changes green however then I cannot open any page because I get a message "Proxy refuses connection" Can you pls explain me , step by step, how to do the advised changes in the /etc/privoxy/config file siince I am new at programming.

Yes I downloaded TOR but cannot start it - there are no instructions, hence nothing changes. Could you advise me how to start the program. Why hide I.P.? And Why not? I guard my self against bad unhealthy interests besides It is absolutely normal to hide IP address like concealing any other personal information from the third parties. * You close your door so that nobody can come into your residence. * You hide your mobile phone number if you want so. Millions of people do it. So why not?

Quothe aioshin : "Free antiVIrus software for linux.. well, it's not a sign that Linux is now prone to virus, but some people really can't just live without it ( I meant for the antivirus, not the virus tongue.gif ) 1.
