Ryzen shine, again! (Ryzen 5 5600G)

My earlier blog featured the Ryzen 5 3400G:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...og.php?b=38257

The Ryzen 5 5600G is a cheaper and more powerful alternative to the Intel i5-11400 which also has integrated graphics.

For Linux users there are 2 main points to consider before using the Ryzen 5600G:

1. BIOS version on motherboard
2. Linux kernel version

Surprisingly, the Realtek LAN controller was not a problem (see below)....

Automatically update flashplayer-plugin

Posted 07-11-2015 at 04:03 PM by jere21

Code:
ii  flashplugin-nonfree  1:3.6.1  amd64  Adobe Flash Player - browser plugin
Debian doesn't update the flashplayer-plugin automatically to avoid downloading an unchecked 3rd party proprietary binary. If you want to ignore that risk for convenience do the following:

/usr/local/bin/flash-update.sh
Code:
#!/bin/sh
update-flashplugin-nonfree --install

/etc/systemd/system/flash-update.service
Code:
[Unit]
Description=update-flashplugin-nonfree

Mozilla seems to work okay with Chrome's flash player

I'm not really a fan of flash, but since I'm trying to switch from Chrome to Iceweasel, which seems to be less sluggish in my machine, and I don't like the idea of using a plugin from the late 90s when I have to, I decided to try the wrap-around trick/plugin I've found. It seems to be working normally, as fas as I can tell.

It had a few more dependencies than stated in the how-to, but the make/configure output...

Something a little less "deep", and more "practical" (well, to me at least)

Sometimes when I see someone watching an HD video with the embedded (*shudder*) Flash player on a website, I just want to say someting like, "Do you have any idea how many CPU cycles are being burned up just to play that video??".

If I want to watch a video on YouTube (or some other video-hosting website) that offers a higher vertical resolution than 480p, I use my fancy little DownloadHelper FF plugin and just download it. Then I can play it with GNOME MPlayer, which has...

Sound on flash and everywhere else at the same time, in Arch

Posted 08-13-2010 at 12:57 PM by the dsc (linux-related notes)
Tags alsa, arch, flash, oss, sound

There had been a weird problem with sound on Arch. Whenever there was a flash item being displayed (or perhaps flash using sound, I suppose), there would be no sound elsewhere. And if there were sound elsewhere, whenever you play something on flash, it would conversely be mute.

The fix is quite simple:
