I downloaded the Macromedia Flash plugin for Nescape / Mozilla and I had read somewhere that that it should automatically work in Galeon, but it doesn't for me. Can anybody else confirm this?
I don't doubt that this is true, acid_kewpie, for 99.999% of all Linux installations, but for me, this is simply not the case. For me, flash works in Mozilla , but not in Galeon. My quest is to determine... why? I thought maybe there's a symbolic link missing somewhere and Galeon can't "see" the plugins in the Mozilla Plugins directory. Perhaps if I fix a missing pointer somewhere then it will start working.
well make sure that you do only have one versino of mozilla installed and galeon is set up correctly, check the plugin information from galeons help menu:
Thanks again, Acid_kewpie! I solved my problem with a bit of your advice. I checked the plugins info under help and found out that Galeon was looking in this directory for the plugins:
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins
I have my plugins for Mozilla stored here:
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.1/plugins
I just copied them from where they were to where Galeon was expecting to find them and *cash register sound* IT WORKED! Thanks a lot for your help.
