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?
