[LUG] Wher has Grandad gone wrong?

 


Posted by "Berry Christopher" <christopher.berry1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>


Dear friends,
Whilst on the web in Ubuntu 7.04 I was informed by a particular programme that I 
need Adobe Flash Linux(x86) tar.gz download.
I downloaded the package and - sudo alien 'package'tar.gz.
I got 'package'.deb and then sudo dpkg -i 'package'.deb.
Then 'the Ubuntu installer' appeared and duly installed the package and I find it 
installed when I use the Synaptic Package Manager' BUT I am no better off when I try 
to raise the video on the web!!
What have I done wrong?
In the same way I now have Adobe Reader downloaded and installed and I can find it 
listed as installed BUT it does not appear in 'Applications' So how can I access it?
For those interested I tried to set up Fedora 7 a couple of days ago but although 
impressed with it I could not work it because there was no mouse pointer!!! On 
checking a forum it would seem my experience is not unique! Such a shame!
Thanks in advance!?
Grandad Berry.
