Oh yeah. So was I. The current version of Adobe Flash for Linux (9.0.124 for the intrepid) breaks as soon as you load the myspace music player. If you’re any kind of music fan, that kinda ruins 50% of new music availability. I got agitated enough to do something about it today, here’s how i installed the new flash 10 beta and fixed the issue.
I use ubuntu (now kubuntu, whatevs) and had the little network manager applet go AWOL on me - it was stuck with “manual configuration” and wouldn’t do its magic for me. Now, I’ve had to write my own nastiness for ifup/down scripts before, so I could cope, but it sucked. I have looked around, but only recently found a page with the solution to the problem. Life is tastes better now.
For those of you just tuning into my blog and/or my life, I “switched” my computing platform in a strange way - from Mac OS X to Linux. I have learned a lot in the past 9 months, and I would like to share some of my surprising discoveries.
