I don't know what happened

Post by jrandallg »

It says my username doesn't exist on your server. Which doesn't make any sense, since I'm still automatically logged on to chat.
Anyway, I'm going through all this again because I have a problem with my flash. I NEED TO UPDATE and when I try, I get told that Linux updates don't happen anymore for flash. Meanwhile, I try to play games on facebook or watch a movie online, and it works for a couple minutes and then shuts down. What am I supposed to do? Don't tell me I have to switch over to Windows to play my games. If I wanted that, I wouldn't be on Linux, now, would I?
And besides that, the website doesn't seem to know I exist. So what's the story?

They stopped supporting Flash for Linux a year or two ago. But the Google Chrome browser has the latest Flash built in, or you can install the latest Flash using Wine and PipeLight. Find PipeLight here:

(Mint is based on Ubuntu, so the directions for Ubuntu work for Mint also. I've done this on my mother's computer, but I don't remember all the details.)

OK thanks. Did all that. When I get a chance to check and see if it works, I'll let you know.
