Trying to copy libflashplayer.so and install flash
Hi:
I have been trying for days to install flash on the fresh install of Slackware. I have the Mozillia browser and the Sea Monkey Browser but I am not using them. Instead I am using Konqueror. I tried copying the libflashplayer.so file and followed the path (/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins) to the plugins dirrectory but the option to paste was not present. I tried to copy it as root in the terminal an that didn't work. So why the "cannot create regular file? Code:
bash-4.3$ cd Downloads |
it's mozilla, not mozillia
Also you are using 64 bit so it should be /usr/lib64 |
Corrected my spelling; thanks.
Code:
bash-4.3$ cd Downloads |
Have you tried downloading and installing Alien Bob's flash package?
http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/pe...-plugin/pkg64/ Once installed you can tell Konqueror to search for new plug-ins and it will find the flash plug-in. |
I checked in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and the libflashplayer.so file is in the plugins directory.
Now what is the problem? I should be using slackpkg to install flash; right? |
you can also make a "plugins" folder IN the seamonkey folder
then link the lib flash to a file in that folder seamonkey/plugins/libflashplayer.so ( well the link to "libflashplayer.so" ) now Firefox IS DIFFERENT!!!!! a few versions back ( i think it was firefox 18 ) they MOVED!!!! that folder to a NEW location firefox/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so ( well the link to "libflashplayer.so" ) |

Hope this works. |

flashpackagename = the real, exact name of the package. Then open Konqueror, go to settings > configure konqueror > plugins and tell it to search for new plug-ins. |
The easiest for me was to download and install the :
Code:
flashplayer-plugin-11.2.202.356-x86_64-1alien.txz Code:
bash-4.3# installpkg flashplayer-plugin-11.2.202.356-x86_64-1alien.txz I'm not sure- |

BTW, at this point, how many versions of the flash plug-in do you have installed? |

Taking a screen shot to show you where I am at and not sure what to choose because I don't see "flashplayer -plugin" http://s1052.photobucket.com/user/Ul...ugins.png.html |
Click on the button that says, "Scan for Plugins."

Code:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/skypebutton.so |
Was Konqueror closed when you installed the flash plug-in? If not, close it and restart it and go through, settings > configure konqueror > plugins > plugins > scan for plugins, one more time.
If you did a fresh, complete install of Slackware64 and installed Alien Bob's flashplayer package, Konqueror should find the flash plug-in. Just for chuckles, with a file manager, check /var/logs/packages to see if libflashwhatever is installed. |

I checked in /var/logs/packages and the good new is "flashplayer-plugin-11.2.202.356-x86_64-1alien.txz" is there. Don't get why Konqueror isn't finding the plugin. Could the KDE DE possibly be causing an issue? |
