teacher Posted June 19, 2003 Author Share Posted June 19, 2003 There are some nice tools in the edutainment package. I have a step-granddaughter studying Japanese (she wants to major in that in college). I think she will like the Japanese tool. I don't think I will get her to convert her computer to Linux though.

Bruno Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Is that tonight's lesson or did you have something else in mind? Water cooler? Penguin Tales? You´re a hard woman to please Julia ! 15 new programs in the ¨kdeedu¨ package and you´re already bored, are you ?I need some tea, and a sandwich, I have to recharge energy from that trip through the galaxy !!

quint Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Wow! That one is spectacular. I see I had a number of options on that one. Lovely program Kstars isn´t it ?? You have to play with it a little longer to find out all its possebillities ! Bruno Thanks for recommending that one Bruno...what a great package. I had been using Celestia, which I really enjoy, but once again, you've shown there are so many wonderful choices. KStars is loaded! One question: the photos that are d/l'd - are they automatically deleted by the program? Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Hi QuintGlad you like Kstars, one of my favorites . . Your question about the photos; they are temporary stored in /tmp/kde-quint/ as soon as you close the program they are deleted ! However you can save the most spectecular ones in your /home directory ( click the floppy icon on the top of the picture. Here is a real treat for you: Bruno* better your mind with the stars, then your head in the sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 I decided you needed a day off, after our long walk yesterday, heal the blisters on your feet, get a good neck massage ( stiff neck from looking up to the stars ) The lessons will start again tomorrow, you better be fresh and allert !

teacher Posted June 21, 2003 Author Share Posted June 21, 2003 I will do my bet to be fresh and alert. Prepared for class. I am always prompt and ready for class. Just tell me the time. Do you really think I am almost ready to graduate?______________________________--Has Lots to Learn Still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Do you really think I am almost ready to graduate? Are you joking ? We just started !! Here is the next lesson:A great little trick for all you dual-booters; You know those ultra secret, sneeky ¨index.dat¨ files on your windows drive, the ones you can´t read nor delete ??We have just the medicine for that in Linux:Menu --> Applications --> Filetools --> Find Files ( Kfind, not ¨search for files¨ ). Fill in the box ¨Named¨ : index.dat and in the box ¨Look in¨: /mnt and hit ¨Find¨. Wait for the search to end and you will see all the ¨index.dat¨ displayed ! Now right-click them and choose ¨Delete¨ !!Sure once you boot Windows again they will be re-created, but all the old info will be gone * not 100% sure this will work on NTFS formatted partitions too.

teacher Posted June 21, 2003 Author Share Posted June 21, 2003 I thought we were just starting but when you dress me like that what am I to think but graduation? KFind in the windows drive is sloooooow. While I am waiting on that, why do I have such a time trying to install flash in my firebird. I have tried following the directions from them 1. Download now. 2. Unpackage. then ./flashplayer-installer. At that point I always get file not found., It seems to be a subdirectory under the tar. Am I doing something wrong there? Of course I am but what is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 ./flashplayer-installer. No good ! You should just copy two files ¨libflashplayer.so¨ and the other one, can´t remember the name that quick, just copy them into the ¨plugin¨ directory of Firebird.Just tell me what files you´ve got and I´ll tell you which two.The installer is useless !

teacher Posted June 21, 2003 Author Share Posted June 21, 2003 I read that too and did that one. Now every time I click on a flash file it trys to save it to my directory. I did save one and ever since it does that to all. I guess I get an F on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 You click on a flash ?? What happens if you go to a site with flash ?? Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted June 21, 2003 Author Share Posted June 21, 2003 It automatically goes and tries to save it. Oh, when I deleted in KFind it made duplicate copies first. Not nice! Bad MS, Bad MS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Wait first MS, then plugins.Browse to ( click ) /mnt /win_c and go after those suckers manually, and delete them on the spot.Then just delete the old Firebird and install a new one, it could be it uses the plugins from mozilla we will paste the plugins in both plugin-directories. ( Let me figure out this first ) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 JuliaJust set up a new profile in Firebird and delete the old profile . . . maybe that will set things back normal . . !?My plugins:/usr/lib/mozilla-1.3.1/pluginsflashplayer.xptlibflashplayer.solibjavaplugin_oji.solibnullplugin.sonppdf.sorpnp.soMy galeon looks for them in there. Phoenix has its own plugin directory with the same ones.There is also a /usr/lib/netscape/plugins has the same too. Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 I can´t find the pref for downloading flash . . . just export your bookmarks to your /home. Delete the current Firebird and get yourself a new one . . . . OR start using Galeon . . . much nicer !! Bruno* why does this girl always put herself into troubles ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted June 21, 2003 Author Share Posted June 21, 2003 Galleon does not let me see flash files either. Maybe it is just trying to save this old computer from croaking?Why do I always get myself in such a fix? Because I want to figure things out! Curiosity or something like that!

Bruno Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Do these files have an extention Julia ?? We could have a look in KDE Control Center to the prefs there . . . . . I used to have that with RealPlayer too and I fixed it right there ! Bruno* curiosity killed the cat !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
