It seems that you need to use codeweaver to run shockwave on linux, which costs money:

welcome to LQ!!

If you use correct punctuation, capitals, etc. it will make your posts a lot easier to read.

Searching Google using "shockwave Linux" shows that this is not straight forward---but there does appear to be some hope!!

You are referring to Crossover---sold by: http://codeweavers.com

The price is not all that bad for what it does.....

For the love of god, use punctuation!
You have no sound when ppl (I gues people?) are talking? - when you are having a conversation over skype?
Type complete words and sentences, please.

Skype sometimes messes with the sound settings. One possible solution:

Open alsamixer:
ctrl-alt-t
to open the terminal
type: alsamixer

And make sure pcm and sound are turned up.
You can use tab and the arrow keys to navigate. You can also take a look in the skype options / sound.

A more descriptive thread title wouldn't go amiss, either.

thanks for help
 

hi thanks for help from ppl who answered and as you pointed out tricky kid i put thread in twice because im new to forum and couldnt find my first thread.but thanks anyway for all your postive help.

shockwave
 

thanks trist007 for help with sound and message i get when trying to download shockwave is (sorry your platform is not supported). im not sure what linux is on here as it was on here when brought but i have mozilla firefox on it if thats any help.

Okay, there's a difference between REPLY and NEW THREAD. When you start a NEW THREAD and someone REPLIES, you click on REPLY, instead of starting another thread.

and all threads (minus the closed dupe) merged

some ppl are so rude
 

well excuse me but i didnt know how to do it so no need for the rudeness just a simple answer to my questions would of done.

There was nothing rude about it .... just a reasonably detailed way to
describe the proper use of a forum.



Cheers,
Tink

yes i know
 

yes i know but all i seem to be getting is ppl saying about my spelling and doing new threads which i didnt know another way to do it and all i wanted was answers to my questions.

And we appreciate that; but you had received a few (from
my perspective adequate and helpful) responses, and then
fired the same thread off again. Which people on the boards
who responded the first time around will find rude.


No harm done, all well with the world?



Cheers,
Tink

Will this help at all?
