Linux Anybody?


Recommended Posts

The only open source editor that I came across to is the F4L I mentioned earlier. I did try it but at the time, it doesn't do very well; and from what I read, development seemed to have come to a long pause. I never looked at it again for the simple reason that I can run my Flash 8 Pro just fine under Wine. I have no idea is the later versions are already supported though.

 

There are, of course, open source PLAYERS that I believe are widely available. Gnash is the first thing that comes to mind. But then, they are players and not editors.

i hope they come up with an open source version soon.

this is one of the reasons why designers should not use linux - lack of good tools.

 

Eh? :rolleyes:

Tools are only as good as the people who use them. In other forums, there's so much debate about tool vs tool like GIMP vs Photoshop. But what good is either if the person using it lacks the talent? Conversely, a person who has talent, whether acquired or developed, can manifest his talent regardless of what tool he uses. Besides, Flash 8 is still a good application-- unless of course one heavily relies on pre-built functionality and does not care to learn ActionScript for customising functionality-- and it runs fine in Linux, through Wine.

 

i hope they come up with an open source version soon.

 

I hope so too. But I think the real problem here is that Flash itself is not open source so interested developers may find themselves faced with legal issues, in terms of patents and what-have-you's. It would be wonderful though if Adobe were to make Flash open source to allow for broader community development, the way Netscape did with its browser and its rendering engine. But then, that's entirely up to Adobe and their business plans.

I'm installing VLC Media Player for Kubuntu 6.06 and I'm getting this error

 

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)

E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

 

would appreciate your help in unlocking the directory

 

Thanks!

the F4L developers were sued by adobe, and were told to stop development.seems that flash is M$-locked for now.

 

btw guy, will be taking a hiatus for a while, ciao!

@Leviticus - have you successfully install webcam on linux?

 

CHEERS!!!

not yet. I remember searching the net a few weeks ago on how to go about this. if I remember right panay mga ubuntuforums ang napapasukan ko pagdating sa webcam on linux and would involve another service other than YM or MSN (or video calls). there were some who asked if pwede gamitin ang Wine but I haven't read the reply of other users.
