Photoshop, Manga Studio, Corel Painter and Photoshop <- seriously :P
all other softwares can be run in wine or vm but until wine can support wacom tablet's pressure sensitivity these painting tools are practically useless, though the alternatives gimp,krita,mypaint are awesome , certain specific less than handful number of features in the above softwares are just too demanding and does mean a big difference

How about BSD?

I would enjoy a good opensource APL interpretor with libraries.

I have ready your answer dated 6/18/14 regarding Google and GC having Flash. I have tried, and not successfully, to make it work. I cannot figure it out. I worked in WordPerfect and Lotus 123, wrote small programs in DOS, then to Windows from '89 until 2001. Mastered them all. Even taught and placed programs and parts of programs into computers. I am working on a computer that I built. Suddenly, I guess I have really have gone dumb. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, dearcat

Was this meant as a private message? If not it would be better if you quoted the original post (or at least part of it) so the context is clear. Note there's a Quote button beneath each post which does this for you.

If I understand correctly you're looking for a flash player in Linux. Are you sure you want a stand-alone player, or do you mean you want flash web pages to work correctly?

Hi inreb. Thank you for replying. I guess Flash is embedded in Chrome but I cannot figure out how to use it. I do not want a stand-alone player. I want the flash web pages to work properly. I have so many sites telling me to load the latest version of flash. Those pages are not available without it. Thank you for hany help.

I think you are installing Chromium not Chrome.

I have Chrome. At least, that is what I was told. I do not yet understand Linux. Worked in WordPerfect and Windows for years. Thank you all for your help

In Linux the actual program is the open source version of Chrome, called Chromium. You'd actually have to install manually to get hold of the crap-ware riddled Google Chrome instead.

Anyhoo, the latest versions (i.e. from release 34 onwards) is using a different internal API (they're phasing out the old NPAPI in favour of Aura). Unfortunately the normal Flash plugin uses the old API, thus it doesn't work with the new Chromium.

You've got 2 choices:

1. Use Firefox instead as a browser. It works fine with the normal Flash plugin.
2. Get hold of something called Pepper Flash instead. E.g. here's how to do it under Ubuntu (your distro may have something similar, else do a google for "pepper flash <your distro name>"): http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/06/i...m-ubuntu-14-04

1- netstat: a command-line tool that displays network connections, routing tables, and a number of network interface statistics.
2- fuser : a command line tool to identify processes using files or sockets.
2- lsof : a command line tool to list open files under Linux / UNIX to report a list of all open files and the processes that opened them.
4 - proc/$pid/ file system : Under Linux /proc includes a directory for each running process (including kernel processes) at /proc/PID, containing information about that process, notably including the processes name that opened port.

Not sure what you mean?? All of these are already included in or native to Linux.

The best way to solve your problem would be to create a thread dedicated to this problem in the Software sub-forum. Please include all information that can help us to help you, like which distribution in which version you use and what yo have tried exactly to install Chrome.

A blu-ray player that plays DRM protected discs. I don't want to use makemkv or similar ripping apps just to watch a blu-ray movie.

I have Chrome. I am not sure of which distribution in which version I have. A programmer friend of mine installed it. Chrome is, I do not believe, the problem. My unfamiliarity with both programs is the problem. I do not know how to go to a sub-forum. Danka for your reply.
