kubuntu-users Digest, Vol 87, Issue 32

Wed Apr 18 15:13:33 UTC 2012

If someone can PLEASE tell me how to get the games on www.pogo.com to work
I would REALLY appreciate it. Ever since I updated Kubuntu, I can't get
them to play. I have java installed and I know I need shockwave but don't
know that I can use on packages. I am fairly new to this system so if you
have a solution, PLEASE explain in detail what and how to install and use
it.
I love kubuntu and don't want to go back to windows(UCK), but I really miss
playing on pogo.
Thanks.
