Adobe Flash unstable in user account


For my LFS build, I installed FireFox the easy way by installing binaries in /opt. Install Adobe Flash was just a simple matter of installing the files where the instructions suggest.

Here's the problem. If I'm logged in as root. Everything works perfectly. No problems. If I login as one of my user accounts, Adobe Flash is unstable. It will just crash shortly after it's being used.

I can only assume it's a permissions thing but I don't fully understand why that would be a problem.

Any ideas?

Could be permissions. There is a way to use Pepper separately from Chrime though, but I'll have to find the post on it. It might work better.

problem solved. I was having another similar problem and got the bright idea to add my user's to the video and audio groups. Everything works now.

is it legitimate and allowed and can be done to make another user account set uid and gid to null 0 to make another root account with different name and possibly not damage the debian system creating and using that new account BenJoBoy Linux - Newbie 12 01-29-2006 10:02 AM
