you're probably making the same mistake i did, confusing chrome with chromium. chrome includes an updated flash, chromium doesn't. at least, that's my current understanding. somebody else (I forgot who and already pruned the attribution) said: > > In case a bit of non-free might provide the missing functionality, I > > added to sources.lst: > > > > # non-free multimedia stuff.

It is unlikely to help Youtube issues however. it's also AFAIK the only way to get working mythtv packages in debian. > You don't need a Debian package. > > Just download the package from upstream, and install in, say $HOME/firefox > and run $HOME/firefox/firefox one of the Mint devs maintains a firefox package for debian. you can install it by adding the appropriate sources.list.d file and running "apt-get install firefox". # cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mint.list deb http://packages.linuxmint.com debian import NOTE: this repository contains several other mint packages for debian and using it may result in it replacing official debian packages with mint packages. i'd recommend commenting out the 'deb' line and only uncommenting it briefly whenever you want to update the firefox package...i.e. an 'apt-get install' rather than 'apt-get upgrade' also note that you're probably better off just installing iceweasel from experimental...after making sure you have a nearby mirror of experimental in your sources.list: apt-get -t experimental install iceweasel current version in experimental is 36.0.4-1 while sid & jessie have only 31.5.3esr-1 this may pull in other updated packages from experimental or sid or jessie. craig -- craig sanders <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
