 I can't tell why it works for you in fedora but when the flashplayer
 plugin is properly detected by the browser and it can't load a file it
 usually means the problems is elsewhere. Anyway, Lenny was using
 Iceweasel 3.0.x (not 3.5.x) unless you got the updated version from the
 backports version and 3.0.x it can be very old.
 
 I don't know either, but with Fedora I've always installed the plugin
 manually. 

I also do it that way: go to the Adobe site, manually fetch the tar.gz 
and extract the .so file under my user's mozilla profile.

 That is, downloaded the archive directly from Adobe and copied
 it as root to the appropriate directory (usually
 /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/), so it's globally available, renaming the
 previous version so it won't be overwritten.  

I prefer to restrict the scope of the flashplayer plugin for just my 
user, that way I can launch different browsers with different plugins. 

 This just in case the new one doesn't work, since I've been using until
 recently alphas or betas of the 64-bit version.  Just followed Adobe's
 generic Linux install instructions.   Never enabled Adobe's Fedora
 repository for this as it's all 32-bit, and won't work with a 64-bit
 browser unless you use a wrapper.  Too much trouble.

How is that Fedora does not have an external repository for the 64 bits 
version of the plugin? That sounds unbelievable :-?

 I think most Debian users use apt-get to install the plugin.  Maybe,
 there's the rub.

Many users do, indeed... but I always recommend using the Adobe file 
directly. I find it an easier and more convenient method though you have 
to manually search for updates.

 I've never had problems with that. In fact, I'm using right now adobe
 flashplayer in Firefox (the plugin is located in my user's home) and
 gnash in Epiphany (plugin is installed system wide), they do not
 collide.
 
 
 
 Adobe says to delete or rename the old version before installing the
 new.  I forgot one time and had an old version in my /home directory and
 the new version in /usr.  The browser (Firefox) recognized and reported
 both, but neither would work until I deleted or renamed one or the
 other.  This was with Fedora Core 6, I think, years ago.

Different versions shouldn't collide because the first listed is the one 
used by the browser. But know knows, I've seen weird things with the 
plugins, and not just flashplayer but also java :-)

 I've never had any success getting gnash to work.

Stock versions of the plugin usually works with sites that used older 
versions of the player (10). My guess is that updating gnash to the 
latest version will just work with most of the sites but users find it is 
easier to get the Adobe flashplayer plugin than having to update gnash...

They do, but Fedora is very strict with their repositories and the contents 
(apps, drivers, plugins, etc.): Open Source only, whether 32 or 64-bit, with 
source available.  Anything proprietary like Flash, or where source isn't 
available, must be in third party ones, and is unsupported by Fedora.  In other 
words: Use at Your Own Risk.  Adobe has its own Fedora repository, many 
software developers do, but it's all 32-bit.  As far as I know, Adobe has no 
64-bit repository for sotware or plugins.  Of course, I haven't checked in a 
couple of years.

Flash Player 11 under Debian Lenny

2012-02-01 Thread Merciadri Luca
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I'm still using Debian Lenny, and would like to use Flash Player 11
under my Iceweasel (aka Firefox). I've downloaded the necessary file
from
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ (running 32 bits),
three times because I tried the three proposed alternatives.

When necessary, I put libflashplayer.so under
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.

Each time, the plugin is correctly detected by Iceweasel, as can be
seen at Tools  Add-ons  Plugins (`Shockwave Flash 11.1 r102').

However, when I try to load a webpage containing a flash animation,
nothing loads, and it looks like I've got no Flash.

Consequently, I'm assuming Flash Player 11 (the v10 works like a charm
here) needs other packages, maybe more recent versions than the ones I
have.

Could someone provide more info on this? I need to install the v11
because many websites I'm regularly visiting (like Dailymotion) do not
accept playing with a v10 Flash player (`You need to install Flash
Player 11 [...].').

Note that I tried putting the .so file under ~/.mozilla/plugins/ but
it systematically crashes Iceweasel.

Thanks.

All the best,

 The same should be for using it system wide but I prefer to put 
 Flashplayer into the user's home.

 When necessary, I put libflashplayer.so under /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.
 
 Each time, the plugin is correctly detected by Iceweasel, as can be seen
 at Tools  Add-ons  Plugins (`Shockwave Flash 11.1 r102').
 
 However, when I try to load a webpage containing a flash animation,
 nothing loads, and it looks like I've got no Flash.

 Check the about:plugins page and see what is listed there (hint: order 
 do matter).
Done, and looks as expected: correct.

 Consequently, I'm assuming Flash Player 11 (the v10 works like a charm
 here) needs other packages, maybe more recent versions than the ones I
 have.
 
 Could someone provide more info on this? I need to install the v11
 because many websites I'm regularly visiting (like Dailymotion) do not
 accept playing with a v10 Flash player (`You need to install Flash
 Player 11 [...].').
 
 Note that I tried putting the .so file under ~/.mozilla/plugins/ but it
 systematically crashes Iceweasel.

 I'm using Lenny (64 bits) with Firefox 10.0 (upstream packages) and 
 Shockwave Flash 11.1 r102, it works like a charm :-)

Eh, not here!

If it's too good to be true, then it probably is.
