I don't know whether you're on Lenny or Squeeze or Sid, or whether your running a 64-bit or 32-bit Debian system, so this may not pertain. But ... if you're running 64-bit Squeeze or Sid, you probably will want the 'flashplugin-nonfree' package from the non-free Debian repositories, rather than the 'flashplayer-mozilla' package from the Debian-Multimedia repository. The 'flashplugin-nonfree' package installs the new 64-bit version of flash Adobe has been working on (not sure if it is officially released yet, but it works a treat here). The 'flashplayer-mozilla' package installs the 32-bit version of flash and a whole mess of 32-bit libraries. While that worked for me, it would frequently conk-out and require me to shut-down restart my browser to get it working again (once in a while, it even crashed Iceweasel, but not very often). 64-bit flash hasn't given me any problems at all. Plus, for now I have no need for the 32-bit libraries and would prefer to avoid them if there's a good alternative. Now, for flash, there is. -- Michael M. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Cheers AG When I installed the v10 plugin from Adobe, I found that it was placed in the wrong directory (I think it was a mozilla directory rather than iceweasel). There was no .so file nor a link to the player in /usr/lib/ iceweasel/plugins. You might try to locate libflashplayer.so, make sure it's got a recent (2009) date, and then move it to the iceweasel plugins directory or make a link there. I tried a couple of alternatives available in Lenny (gnash and another I've forgotten) and they didn't work as universally as the one from Adobe. BTW, you seem to be sending both plain text and HTML. Please try to turn off HTML. -- Rich -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

I removed the libflashplayer.so that was in my .mozilla directory and copied the one that was in the system directory for IceWeasel (i.e. /usr/lib/ ...) then went to MySpace and all seems as it should be. Clearly there was a conflict that was disrupting things. Many thanks. Rich - sorry about the HTML. That was, I think, because I copied straight from the browser window. But, point taken.

Enabling MySpace in Iceweasel, et al.
Hello list There must be a secret to this, but after searching through the email archives, I have still been unable to figure this out: how do I get Iceweasel (or any browser) to play MySpace music streams. I have flashplayer_10_linux.deb installed, with the relevant *.so placed into the usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/ directory, but still nada. What am I doing wrong?
