I don't have those: # tree -L 2 /boot /boot ├── db93dd0e1382198eb26650c05430b171 │ ├── 3.18.9 │ ├── 3.19.0 │ └── 3.19.1 ├── EFI │ ├── Boot │ ├── gummiboot │ └── Microsoft └── loader ├── entries ├── gentoo.bmp └── loader.conf 10 directories, 2 files I don't think it has anything to do, but AFAICS, it's the only difference. Yes, I played with grub in a second UEFI-slot to be able to boot from iso-images. But that stuff was there when I installed 3.19.0 back then ... so ... The UEFI-level of things won't matter, I assume. UEFI chooses and starts gummiboot, from there the two bootloaders shouldn't collide, I think. - Additionally the same new kernel installed without a problem on my thinkpad (3.19.1 ... with kerninst as well). No idea. But no big problem, I can edit that conf-file whenever I install a new kernel. Sure, would be nice to solve. thanks @all

[gentoo-user] What are you using to display Flash in Firefox?
As the subject says: What are you using to display Flash in Firefox? Reason for my question is quite simple, today I am using www-plugins/adobe-flash which works well for simple .swf files (where gnash lightspark fails), but I have problems displaying a lot of Videos on Facebook YouTube. 95% of the time I get the following message when I try to watch a Video on FB or YT: The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed. Reload the page to try again. For YT it is really not that a big problem as I can download the Videos using a FF AddOn - but this does not work with FB.

[gentoo-user] gummiboot does not display new kernel
Hmm, what is my mistake ... I compiled the latest gentoo-sources-3.19.1 with Canek's kerninst tool. It is configured to generate a loader-entry for the gummiboot bootloader. That bootloader is the default entry in the UEFI boot order and it works ... I can boot the older kernels ... but it does not show me the latest kernel 3.19.1 but why?

I listed my /boot set up in my previous email. It's from my single-boot laptop so the machine-id UUID directory and file names are unnecessary.

I'm sure that I've read this page in the past so I must've either ignored or forgotten the title/version combo. I've just checked the Arch and Gentoo wikis and neither mention version so I'm in more or less good company. And not any closer to understanding the reason for Stefan's problem. :(
