ok so i installed and started using opensolaris off of the livecd i made with no troubles. and i went online...pretty impressed with the speed and all...went to youtube...and whoops. adobe flash isn't natively installed. so i went to filehippo.com, where i download a lot of stuff, and click on download adobe flash (non-ie), and the little firefox prompt shows up asking me where i want to save it to, bla bla bla (i have the settings on "automatically save to desktop" for downloads) and then i click ok....only to find that not only does the downloads window showup, but also an error message stating
"/tmp/install_flash_player_10-4.exe could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences." so i e went to the adobe site to see if i coudl download it off their, and the same error came up! I went to searching on google, and it seemed that the problem was this: "The "associated helper application does not exist" message can mean the application the Mozilla program thinks should open a specific type of file is no longer installed [1]. It can also mean that the application has either been updated or reinstalled and ion where to find the program you want to use for the file type (see below for a solution if the dialog does not help). To do this, first find the File Actions dialog. " so i go to edit->preferences->applications and there is no Adobe Content on the left side for me to alter the action for. all i see is "Bzip archive, Mailto, Podcast, Video Podcast, webcal, and Web Feed" help anyone? anyone know whats going on? am i doing something wrong? i know ppl have definitely installed plug ins like adobe flash 10 successfully before on opensolaris...whats going on here? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
