You tube not working on Mnadriva
 

You Tube works on the live CD and after installation, after updates no longer works.



Thanks

Hi, you need to install the flash codecs, or check the links are still there, like this.

Just get a copy of it and copy it to all the dirs that your browsers and media-apps look for the flash-plugin(the file libflashplayer.so).

I usually get the most recent ver from adobe, and unpack it to a dir, and copy it or link it to where it needs to be.

This way, when you update the file, you only have to re-fresh the links and it's all working again quickly. I generally keep these unpacked (system) files in a /build dir in /home/glenn/ This way it's not formatted if I have to re-install the operating system.

ln -s (s=static)
you will need admin privs to copy and create files in /usr/.. use sudo or su to root .

don't forget to type exit to finish as root.

You may also check your "/home/glenn/.mozilla/plugins" files, and put a copy or link there too, (if it's not there create it).

to be sure, to be sure!

So far I haven't come across a system that just works every time, every circumstance.

see how you go

regards Glenn

ps clarify "not formatted"

I have the /home directory and all of it's contents on a small group of partitions off the / partition.

A clean OS install usually requires formatting /usr and / (just my humble experience, Mandriva and Mandrake)
