Flash not working for my Iceweasel =,(

megaprog · 10-17-2008, 09:29 AM

Hi guys, well, I don know what is going on here, I have tried to install the flash pluggin for my Iceweasel in Lenny, and It seems to not work.

I also tried with the packages libflash-mozplugin and libflash-swfplayer and nothing. I can't navigate on flash-based webs, like youtube.com for an example.

Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advanced!

Did you reboot?

Yeap, I did reboot, and instead of the flash animation/video I get this:

"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. "

Just like if no pluggin would be installed.

I was checking out in the add-ons section of the Iceweasel

And it indicates that I have installed 3 versions of slash, but none of them seems to work, and they are all Enabled.

Versions: 0.4.12
9.0 r100
9.0 r124

Problem Solved!!

I was installing the flash.so file into the my personal fodler (/home/myself/.firefox/plugins/)

But now I installed in this both paths:

/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/

And Voila! it works great!
Thanks to the post of Debian Post-Install Configuration, XD!

did you install flashplayer-mozilla ?

Code:

user@it-lenny:~$ aptitude search flash

i   flashplayer-mozilla                 - Macromedia Flash Player 


user@it-lenny::~$ apt-cache policy flashplayer-mozilla
flashplayer-mozilla:
  Installed: 9.0.124.0-0.0
  Candidate: 9.0.124.0-0.0
  Version table:
 *** 9.0.124.0-0.0 0
        500 http://www.debian-multimedia.org lenny/main Packages

This is the only flash installed on my Lenny machine and it works fine in iceweasel.

Yeap I had it installed, but I guess it didn't work because of the mess of flash versions and installations I had here, now it's workin fine =)
