Please help me surf porn with Linux Mint
RayLopez99
On modern hardware running Windows 7 I installed VMWare, latest
version.
Then I installed Linux Mint Ubuntu (latest version, from an Indonesian
mirror), since it supposedly has the most apps preloaded.The
installation went OK and I played around in the desktop, even reading
a user's manual in a PDF viewer (not Adobe's).
I found Firefox in the "Favorites" section (it was version 4.0 rather
than 6.0, but no big deal I assume).
I started Firefox, it worked. I did not bother changing the root user
(in other words, I'm using the default 'mint' as user, and blank as
password)
I surfed to a static html web page and a .PHP web page and it worked
fine. So far so good.
I then went to a generic, safe, web porn site that seldom fails to
arouse me, nor do I ever catch any virus when surfing under Windows,
called the porn hub (one word).
I clicked on a porn star Rebecca Linares video. I got a "Adobe Flash
plug in fails to load " (something like that) [OK it says: 'the Adobe
flash plug in has crashed. No report available. Reload the page to try
again.] and a frowning face.
I could NOT get out--it froze my entire VMWare screen that was playing
Linux. I killed the screen, rebooted VWWare and tried
'playing' (running, that's their term) Linux Mint, but the system is
frozen with the screenshot showing the error message, as before. The
screen is frozen on the error message (and photos surrounding the
message showing various porn stars, etc).
Questions:
1/ how do I just kill Firefox--what keyboard commands? Mouse is not
working inside of Linux.
2/ do I need a firewall when surfing the net under Linux? Which one
and where for Mint?
3/ Same question for viruses.
PS--VWMare runs Window XP no problem. Why is that? Perhaps XP is
more stable than Linux?

You told us you use pirated copies of windowps bought from the
far east. Have you informed the BSA?
Its a poor wanker who blames his tools for firing blanks.
Your sticky fingers are better off fondling a windopws
machine which has to be thoroughly wormed and virused
before the prawns can be served to you.
You just too stupid for words to understand how to
get your prawns. In fact, FYI, going
out the wild internet newsgroups to hunt for
fellow windopwers to get your prawns is just too
unbelievable for words.
You didn't even post your windopws license key
before asking for help. You should post it now
if you really want help. You are that stupid.

The most apps preloaded? Not really.

Try updating. A fully updated Mint 11 has Firefox 6.

So you are using the live cd despite earlier installing it... Interesting.

I was not able to reproduce that behaviour.
However, with the old flashplugin in mint (which is actually an old
prerelease since adobe didn't manage to release a final 64 bit flashplugin
yet) the videos wouldn't load.
After I removed the package "mint-flashplugin-square" and installed
flashplugin-nonfree, which uses the kludgy nspluginwrapper to load the 32
bit flashplugin, it loads and plays just fine.
But never did virtualbox nor firefox freeze in my tests.
Maybe vmware on windows or your graphics drivers are buggy?

Your ... mouse is not working in your linux in vmware?

For what should you need a firewall? You don't need to block incoming
connections; probably vmware has NAT for guests per default too? They
shouldn't harm you anyway since Ubuntu should have a fairly securely out-of-
the-box setup. You don't really need to block outgoing connections since
there shouldn't be any software on it you don't trust. Well, you probably
don't trust linux, but that's not what I mean. :)

When you really get hit by a virus, tell us. That should happen really,
really seldom...

Virtualbox runs Linux Mint without a problem. Why is that? Perhaps it hasn't
anything to do with Windows XP allegedly being more stable?

Just use your windows to watch porn then, since it is perhaps more stable
and enjoyful?

This group is called comp.os.linux.setup, not comp.os.linux.advocacy.
Could you please, pretty please, keep your personal vendettas with the
Win-trolls confined to comp.os.linux.advocacy?
Better still, could you pretty please also refrain from crossposting
"GNU/Linux versus Windows" advocacy and "I hate Microsoft" campaings to
any other groups than comp.os.linux.advocacy?
Yes, I hate Microsoft, the company, too, and I don't even use Microsoft
Windows for that matter. But if I want to read filth from either side
of the fence, I'll join comp.os.linux.advocacy - a group which has for
long lost track of its name - (again) myself.
At this stage, I really don't feel a need to join comp.os.linux.advocacy
- nor do I anticipate ever feeling that need again - and there is a
reason as to why many other people aren't subscribed to it either. So
keep your drivel (from either side of the fence) limited to your
favorite troll playground. The rest of us aren't interested in puerile
playground mobbing. Seriously.
Anyone from comp.os.linux.advocacy who crossposts to another group in
which I reside - and there's about 30 of them, 25 of which are related
to GNU/Linux, and the other 5 to generic UNIX - will be added to my
killfile from here on, and I don't give a rat's ass whether they're Win-
trolls or so-called GNU/Linux advocates.
There's a place for this sort of nonsense, and it's called
comp.os.linux.advocacy. So keep the nonsense there, where it belongs,
and have the courtesy of allowing other groups to carry on with their
own business.
(And that includes you, "7", because I've seen you _start_ crossposted
threads between c.o.l.advocacy and other groups. It is called abuse,
and if you're really hoping for some complaints to arrive at your news
provider's abuse address, then by all means, carry on.)

The OP is a well known troll and has no intention of ever
stop posting net abuse.
Most of these anti-Linux trolls are funded by micoshaft corporation
or appil corporation, faceboook etc. Employees of companies like these
http://www.ntrepidcorp.com/
http://www.burson-marsteller.com/
are known to be the outlets through which internet based
trolling gets initiated. The EU has banned it, and any companies
with offices in EU could get prison sentences and fines
handed out - but not in the USA which is where all the
internet based trolling problems originate from.
In the USA all the funding for trolls is channeled
through abuse of charities which bypasses the need for
accountability and invoices. The US charity regulators
are to blame for allowing money to be channeled through
charities to carry out commercial operations such
as internet trolling for profit through abuse of charity status.
A few wikileaks to open up scrutiny of the funding routes and who's who in
the chain of command could be a starting point.
Stories like this
http://www.11alive.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=173964
set a precedent which means every asstroturfer is due for a minimum
$400,000 fine.
Trolling is so ingrained into the every day life of politics
and government in USA, that a clean up act needs political
will before it can ever happen. Here is an example
of how bad and rotten to the core the situation
is in the US:
Asstroturfer offerings
----------------------
I've just read the contents of the fbo.gov solicitation RTB220610
The US government wants asstroturfers and with it sophisticated
asstroturfing technology to drown out democratic free speech,
and then hide from those whom it seeks to victimize.
It was point no.3 that caught my eye:
0003- Static IP Address Management
What that means is the same as what I've been saying for a while about
doofi, flatcake and clog are true.
They are not individuals but a whole asstroturfing team
behind each sock puppet.
There isn't enough memory between the sock operators to know
or remember what had been said earlier so you know the
conversations are being typed out by multiple individuals
impersonating each other.
It was notable gaffs by the goofy doofy sock that first gave it away.
The asstrotufing teams had already gone into government and offered them
consulting services about what technology and asstroturfing
practices were out there for fbo.gov to decide what they will
purchase in solicitation RTB220610.

But I downloaded Mint just now from an Indonesian website from the
official Mint website. You think they had an old version of Mint?
Perhaps, but it's not good that Mint org would allow that. But I'll
do this--I'll download a Mint .iso from a US website.

No, you are not paying attention, typical of zealots, no offense. I
said I'm running Linux Mint from VMware. Do you know that that is?
If not, Google it.

OK, fair enough, perhaps I have an old version. Also I am running 32
bit not 64. It make a difference.

Maybe. But VMware on Windows works fine for XP. The drivers are

"Enjoyful"? That a word? ;-)
Actually I don't mind watching porn in Windows, as I've never caught
anything from doing that, but I thought Linux would be an even safer
way of doing that--but so far I'm proved wrong.

Chris--thanks for your help but I could not get Linux Mint to run in
VWware--so I gave up. I went back to surfing porn using Windows 7,
and since the one virus I caught in Win7 was not from porn surfing but
was from a USB stick that had a program I unwisely ran that had a
virus on it, I feel that there's no need for Linux.
Too bad, as I was willing to give Linux another chance. But it failed
me once again.
