installer won't do anything for me. I thought that, with true
Mozilla and Flash direct from Adobe, that Flash should work. I
shouldn't need anything else. Unfortunately, it does not. Does
anyone else have Flash working with Mozilla Firefox (not Iceweasel)?
then installing Sid's flashplugin-nonfree.
However, you may need to copy the plugin .so manually into the
Firefox plugin directory. If Iceweasel is installed, you can find it
there.
Installing the Adobe way has never worked for me. I have always
needed the Debian way.
copy it to the appropriate directories. I already have the new
libflashplayer.so and I have it in /usr/local/lib/firefox/plugins/
Firefox recognizes that it is installed and starts to load the flash
video. Then it hangs. Using the installer from Sid will simply
download another copy of the file and place it in a directory that is
incorrect for me, so that I can copy it to where it already is. I
have already downloaded the .deb for Ubuntu from the Adobe site,
thinking that maybe there was a problem with the .tar.gz file, but I
get the same results. I don't see where having the Sid installer
download the same ..tar.gz file that I already have is going to make a
difference.
maybe have a look at /etc/alternatives to see if you have a link that
can confuse things, and look at flashplayer-mozilla dependencies to see
if you're missing something.
I don't see anything there.
Here is what I have tried since my last post:
I have downloaded the adobe flashplayer archives for all of V10 and V9.
I installed, one at a time, V10_22_87, V10_15_3, V10_12_36 - none worked
I installed V9_115, which was what I originally had - it didn't work I
copied back my saved directory with firefox 3.05 - same results
By this point, I was back to running the same version of firefox and
flashplayer that had been working together prior to trying to upgrade
flashplayer. I would have expected this to at least get me back to
where I was. No such luck.
So I decided to try to go with straight up Debian and I installed
Iceweasel and flashplayer-mozilla. This also yielded the same results.
The YouTube video starts to load, displaying the initial frame, and
then it hangs, taking Iceweasel with it. All I can do at this point is
destroy the window and then kill any leftover processes.
I don't know what to do at this point. I am about to do the Winblows
thing and reinstall in a spare set of partitions. At least I have the
space. Does anyone have any other suggestions before I have to go to
this extreme?
It's been almost a month since the last post i this thread.
Did you give up or get it to work? If it works, what did you do to make
it work? I too am getting tired of no flash.
