Okay, Question 1:

Opera needs the Flash player, and when I download it and install it in the Opera directory, it says that Opera is not supported. That upsets me. Anyone know if Opera has a Flash player? The intergrated Flash player 6 can't play Youtube and Google videos.

Question #2:

I tried to install Seamonkey, but, for one, it is not showing in the Applications or any of the Menu. When I manually launch it, it cannot execute the file...why is that?


I tried Online updates for Suse 9.1, but they're not there anymore...

seamonkey might have installed outside the path. maybe it's in /usr/lib/seamonkey.

Have you tried just manually copying the libflashplayer.so file into the Opera plugins directory? Despite not being supported, I've found that it works well enough.

To answer whansard, yes, I have tried that idrectory as well. By default, it was set to /usr/local/seamonkey, but I tried the /usr/lib/seamonkey path. Both won't go.

To answer AdaHacker, I didn't try that. I'll give it a shot.


EDIT: Okay, well it seems that the copying isn't allowed for some reason. I can't find a place to run it as the root command or anything. Anyone willing to help a noob here?

Not sure what you mean. You should be able to just copy the file to your ~/.opera/plugins directory. Restart Opera and try a Flash site.

You can go to Advanced->Content->Plugin options in the Opera preferences to view the plugin path. Putting the file in any of the directories in that list will work as well.

Flash 6 is old. Flash 9 is the latest. Try flash 9 or flash 7 is stable.
When you launch Seamonkey from a shell what error messages do you get?
Open a terminal and enter the executable command for seamonkey. I have never used it.

It just says that it cannot execute.

Oh well, don't bother with it. I grabbed 10.1 and it's doing alright.
