I read on a forum post that the problem with clicking certain types of flash content was resolved by downloading and install the latest package of flash from adobe's site.
I removed the flash install from the .deb package I downloaded from Adobe and wanted to start over. I am having problems installing flashplugin-nonfree and flashplugin-installer due to conflicting packages. How can I start over fresh as if flash was never installed and THEN install flashplugin-nonfree + it's dependencies without any problems?
Here's what happens when I try to remove and reinstall, among other things:
Code:
I open up Synaptic Package Manager, I get the dialogue, "You have 1 broken package, use the Broken Filter to locate it." So I do, and I find flashplugin-nonfree. So I try to reinstall it, and the two packages that are installed are flashplugin-nonfree and flashpluin-installer. However, I always get this error message:
[code]...
how I can fix it? I know it has SOMETHING to do with conflicting packages
Yesterday, I was seeking for some Flash Player tweaks for Jaunty. In Adobe's web site I found and installed "APT for Ubuntu 9.04+." That move installed adobe-flashplugin to the system. After I removed flashplugin-nonfree and flashplugin-installer, Interestingly flash videos begin to player smoother; especially in http://www.animefreak.tv/ . Is it just a coincidence or an advantage of "APT for Ubuntu 9.04+"; because it did not exist in Adobe's website one month ago, just ".deb for Ubuntu 8.04+" was available for download.

I posted a blog on how to install 64 bit adobe flash plugin in Ubuntu Lucid in a single command
[URL]
The command is
sudo aptitude remove flashplugin-nonfree flashplugin-installer && mkdir -p flashplugin-64 && cd flashplugin-64 && wget -c http://download.macromedia.com/pub/l..._091510.tar.gz && tar xzf flashplayer_square_p1_64bit_linux_091510.tar.gz && sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/
I don't mean that it prevents me from using it, on the contrary, it changes all of the text boxes to the same color, making it hard if it's not a conflicting color. I want to install dark themes such as Cobra and Aero-ion but they conflict with Firefox, and I don't want to use Chromium. Do I have to stick with basic and default themes if I want to customize or switch to Google Chromium? Can someone point out a website that, well, has ones compatible with Firefox 4?

View 5 Replies View RelatedUntil some time ago I had a dual Windows 7 and Fedora operating system, then I completely moved to Fedora. Recently I have become interested in Scientific Linux and wanted to install it besides my Fedora. I took a back up of all my data and formatted my HDD for a clean install of both of them. This is what I did:
First I installed Scientific Linux with these partitions (contents of /etc/fstab):
[Code]...
Then I went on to install Fedora 15; I kept the same primary and extended partitions but only changed the names of "/FedoraRoot" to "/" and "/" to "/SLRoot" in the above list while installing Fedora. I also chose the boot directory of Fedora to be /dev/sda1/ which I wanted to be the /boot file for both systems while I had chosen the boot file for Scientific Linux to be "/dev/sda".
Everything went well until the final step of copying the files an error came that some of files that Fedora wanted to install in /usr/share, /usr/lib64, /usr/bin, /etc/system..., /etc/issue..., /etc/redhat-release... and /etc/rpm are already present in the Scientific Linux format and so there is a conflict and it has to terminate!!! I must have made some strange mistakes in the definitions
can anyone else whos installed 64bit lucid 10.04 build check to see if bbc iplayer or media clips play ? i've got the following installed:
flashplugin-installed
flashplugin-nonfree
but media clips from [url] just seem to be static, pressing on the play now button has no effect. videos media and general flash seems to be fine, just nothing from the bbc.
I had used "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound" but it report Package flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

Then I tried to install firmware-b43-installer again with no luck. I saw in the error messages it said something about broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2. I have no idea how to install a tar.bz2 file.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI can install the nvidia driver for my card easily with yast but would like to try using nvidia's own installer. There is a paths problem. I've spent some time looking at 11.4 kernel build paths and they seem to be circular so the installer will not find what it needs. The installers help in this respect is as follows.
Code:
--kernel-source-path=KERNEL-SOURCE-PATH
The directory containing the kernel source files that should be used when compiling the NVIDIA kernel module. When not specified, the installer will use '/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build', if that directory exists. Otherwise, it will use '/usr/src/linux'. Obviously it will fail on the build directory and fall back to usr/............ where linux is a symbolic link linux -> linux-2.6.37.1-1.2
which must be the one in the same directory but it fails to find either type of auto conf file From this I assumed that it just needed pointing at the correct build directory but this turns out to be symbolic link
Build -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.37.1-1.2-obj/x86_64/desktop
However when pointed here it still doesn't find what it needs and falls over looking for the kernel header this time. I thought that the idea of the /usr/src/linux link was to standardise kernel building but if suse use it for something else or nvidia make the wrong assumptions just where should the installer be pointed?
I've tried to install opensuse in a dual boot with xp. I've got an extended partition with root home and swap and primary partitions for xp and boot. The installation freezes at 92% while installing the bootloader, I've tried installing from cd and from usb, with or without boot partition and nothing changed.

(I tested it on my laptop, also using ubuntu) My problem is, the driver installer is graphical and my server is not. Is there a way I can just run the installer in server WITHOUT installing gdm or a desktop environment? So far, everyone I've read says to have xserver,xorg,fluxbox(or other gui), etc. I just want to run the installer through SSH, and I know about the -X tag.

the cp's and ln's are from an install.sh from weidu-linux. apparently, i have compiled things in a terrible way. (i'm pretty sure i tried "make install.sh" and then "sudo checkinstall" and the package never went through, but now. now, i'm not so worried about the flash because any time i use apt-get this script of cp's and ln's runs (on the other hand, flash is the only package not working, so maybe this is just a cosmetic issue...). for example, ace of penguins outputs the same stuff (but at least it runs).
I don't want help with the flash issue--i just want my apt-get / dpkg to be clean again! i'll never try to run baldur's gate with weidu mod's again,
I don't understand the difference between installing via the Ubuntu Desktop Edition Windows installer and Live CD. I have an x64 system and I'm switching over from Fedora 14, so I'm specifically looking for whatever will make it easiest for me to neatly clear out the Fedora partition during installation.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've been using Iceweasel for 4-5 months now, since I installed Debian 6.0 testing.It worked fine and I had to use flashplugin-nonfree from the repositories in order to get flash working, nothing new here.In my last apt-get upgrade, something broke. Not sure if it is the flashplugin or Iceweasel.I tried changing flashplugins (trying the 32bit one, trying the new 64bit, trying another package I found) but every time I go on ..... and click on a video, Iceweasel crashes.The only output I got was "sesmentation fault".So I tried with firefox and Iceape and they worked fine.However the firefox downloaded was 32bit, so I downloaded the 3.6.12 source and compiled it (Forgot to mention i'm on amd64, but who isn't nowadays?).Flashplugin works fine with firefox 64bit, browser doesn't crash, but I keep getting:
(firefox-bin:25463): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead
So I've installed using the minimal installation cd, and I can't get the flashplugin or java to work. When using apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree/jre.I get the error message of: no installation candidate, or it's obsolete/only available from another source.So far I have searched google and forum search, and found nothing, might be I'm just not searching to well. I've tried installing from the backports by the instructions of this link: URL...

I installed the Moonlight 2.0 Firefox plugin via the .xpi installer. I'm trying to get the Moonlight codec pack installed, but it just isn't working. I agree to the EULA and it seems to download the pack, but every time it says that it cannot verify the downloaded binary. Sometimes it causes Firefox to crash upon download completion. I've tried searching on Google, but I've had no luck.
View 2 Replies View RelatedTo reeanable CTRL-ALT-BKSP (since 11.2), you use:
setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
It works. However if you map keys with xmodmap, it's gone. In whatever order you use them, setxkbmap and xmodmap are always conflicting. Running xmodmap immediately disables CTRL-ALT-BKSP, while running setxbbmap reverses key mappings to their default.
I think firefox vimperator is great, but unlike google chrome it completely overrides all general shortcuts, copying, pasting,s elect all. does anyone know how to restore these?
