installing GNASH

Trying to get firefox play flash files (youtube) I'm installing Gnash.
Earlier I tried installing 32bit firefox, and that's working.

Now I'm following these instructions.

./configure
There was a lot of missing packages, I finished with 2 warnings remaining, because I didn't find them in synaptic.

make
There was some problem with not finding G++. Following this and this, making a symbolic link solved this problem:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++-3.3 /usr/bin/g++

make is extremly slow, I hope it will work.
--> no luck:
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [libgnashserver.la] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/agi/Desktop/gnash-0.8.3/server'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/agi/Desktop/gnash-0.8.3/server'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/agi/Desktop/gnash-0.8.3'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I don't know what to do...

Back to feisty

Somehow I found that Gutsy is a bit slow for me, and I reinstalled Feisty. I don't know why, but now my upper menu bar is english, but the submenus are hungarian, as they should be. And the second time I wanted to boot the new Feisty, it froze.

Another thing, that came up: partitioning the winchester: if not automated, you have to make 2 real and a logical partition.
device /dev/sda1 directory / type ex3 size 15000 MB
device /dev/sda2 directory /home type ex3 size 65000 MB
device /dev/sda5 directory type swap size 2500 MB (logical, at the end)

Some improvements

With some recent updates, now I can watch youtube videos :-)

Installing Skype on 64 bit

I found the solution here.
It says:

Gutsy (7.10), Feisty (7.04), and Edgy (6.10) installs:

64-bit install (or upgrade) skype 2.0 (with video):

Quote:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs lib32asound2; wget -N boundlesssupremacy.com/Cappy/getlibs/getlibs-all.deb; wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-ubuntu; sudo dpkg -i getlibs-all.deb; sudo dpkg -i --force-all skype-install.deb; sudo getlibs /usr/bin/skype

After installing Skype you can run it from your (Applications-->Internet) Menu at the top left of your screen.

Using Gnokii

File options:
--getfilelist remote_path
--getfiledetailsbyid [id]
--getfileid remote_filename
--getfile remote_filename [local_filename]
--getfilebyid id [local_filename]
--getallfiles remote_path
--putfile local_filename remote_filename
--deletefile remote_filename
--deletefilebyid id
---------------------------------------------
To get the phone's directory and filelist:
gnokii --getfilelist 'A:\*'

• --getfilelist 'A:\*' (should show files stored in internal memory)
• --getfilelist 'B:\*' (should show files stored in external memory, eg. a miniSD or microSD card)

To copy files TO the mobile:
gnokii --putfile /home/username/Desktop/proba.mp3 'A:\predefgallery\predeftones\predefringtones\proba.mp3'

To use GETALLFILES you have to go to the directory you want to copy files.
cd /home/username/Desktop
~/Desktop$ gnokii --getallfiles 'A:\predefgallery\predefrecordings\*'

To get files FROM the mobile:
gnokii --getfile 'A:\predefgallery\predefrecordings\Hang000.amr' /home/username/Desktop/Hang000.amr

or go to the directory you want to copy ad don't type the local path.

Connecting my Nokia 2630 via Bluetooth to Ubuntu

--> gnokii.org

I downloaded a previous version of gnokii from synaptic package manager, then I downloaded the newest gnokii from gnokii.org download site.

As instructed I've run "./configure" and "make" as user and "make install" as root.

Then I edited the configuration file:
sudo gedit /etc/gnokiirc

I had to comment out lines from port, model and connection sections, and I had to uncomment lines for:

model = series40
port = aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
connection = bluetooth
rfcomm_channel = 1

Actually the "model=series40" I had to type in.
To get the mac address of your phone's bluetooth device type *#2820# in your phone.
I checked rfcomm channel with "sdptool search DUN"

In /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf I found that the "Default PIN code for incoming connections" is "1234".

After this, when I run "gnokii --identify" the connection worked, and I used the passkey "1234" for both the phone and the PC.
