Adobe / Macromedia Flashplayer Standalone 10 For Ubuntu / Debian Linux

There is a very popular multimedia format called Shockwave (with swf file format). This is an awesome format that we could use it to make a lightweight video tutorial or, commonly used to build a lightweight but rich and interactive game called flashgame.

To play swf, we need an software called flashplayer. And there are two version of flashplayer : (1) Flashplayer browser plugin that works with Internet Browsers like Firefox, Google Chrome and IE; (2) Flashplayer Standalone. This is a standalone software (with window and menus) to open swf files. The easier way to play swf is by Internet Browser with flashplayer plugin, but that is little less elegant and little more heavy than using Standalone Player.

In Linux, there are some Flashplayer Standalone project, includes open source and proprietary project :

libflash-swfplayer. This is an obsolete project and its package doesn't exist anymore in Ubuntu repository above Hardy Heron.
Gnash. This is popular open source flashplayer standalone in Linux and this is still active until now. We could install it from Ubuntu repos.
Adobe / Macromedia Flashplayer Standalone. This is an official project from the swf format developer : Adobe / Macromedia. And happily, there is a Linux version for this software so we could install it to play any swf in Linux with elegance :

The (probably) last version of this software is version 10 and could be downloaded easily using wget at this link (this is can't be downloaded by firefox or any other browser, only wget) :

And just like usual, I like to pack any good stuff into a Debian DEB installer package so I could install it easily in the future with elegance, and I've packed this software so you could install it in your Ubuntu/Debian system and you could use it as the default player for any swf file. This is the Debian package and I've stored it in Dropbox :

adobe-flashplayer-standalone-linux_10_i386_debian.deb

I hope you enjoy this app and happy Linuxing ! :)

Ubuntu Kylin 19.04 Review : A Gorgeous Windows 10 Clone

It's been quite a while since the last post I wrote in this blog. My daily life prevents me to write another stuff about Linux Desktop, and now I'm curious to take a look to the Ubuntu Kylin 19.04. Ubuntu is always be my favorite distro. It supports huge number of hardwares, it has probably the largest Linux software repository. It is also --the most important thing-- very easy to install, even for beginners. But for some couple of years, because of technical reason, I stopped to play around with the Ubuntu releases. I stood for KDE Neon and became my primary OS because of its simplicity and the look. Few days ago Ubuntu has released its newer version, Ubuntu 19.04 codenamed Disco Dingo. I'm yes impressed by the progress Ubuntu developer has made, especially the way they arrange the GNOME desktop to match the Ubuntu theme. But the most interesting flavor of this release is Ubuntu Kylin. It's an official Ubuntu flavor, designed for Chinese People with its own...

How To Speed Up Your KDE Plasma Desktop (KDE4)

KDE is one of the oldest desktop environment in Linux. While GNOME (the other desktop that as old as KDE) is trying to built its own style of user interface, KDE from the beginning seems to mimics the Microsoft Windows' "classic" user interface. Thus, KDE has its own user base, especially for them who still in love with the Windows' philosophy : a simple desktop, with a single taskbar in the bottom, and a start menu in the left. Personally, I love KDE. It's gorgeous and eyecandy. But sometimes, I feel KDE is little bit slow in my older hardwares. So, after some experiences, I've found some tweak how to make KDE Plasma Desktop Runs Faster . 1. Change The Compositing Engine Go to System Settings>Desktop Effect>Advanced , and change the Compositing type from OpenGL 2.0 to XRender. 2. Remove All Bloatware Apps There are some uneeded apps installed in Kubuntu (my favorite KDE distro) and you could safely remove them. Here are my list : ...

BAM Huawei Mobile Partner For Linux. Download and Install.

Click to enlarge Profile management Broadband connection is one of the most used internet connections, alongside wired and wi-fi internet connection. And the most used device to use broadband connection is USB Modem (GSM/CDMA), and one of the most used brands is Huawei, a world-recognized Chinese manufacture that focuses to produce great networking devices (modems, router etc). It is probably the most popular brand from China and I have to say that Huawei is a great product. Because of this I decided to buy a CDMA USB modem from Huawei. And greatly, this has already been recognized by Linux from so long time ago and so I can use the modem easily with GNOME's Network Manager. But later I found a problem : how to top up my prepaid internet account? To top up my prepaid internet account, I have to send a SMS to the provider and I can't do this on Linux.
