Hi all -
I should probably admit that I haven't been booting my Debian install
lately, and it has mainly been due to irritation with Iceweasel and
not doing anything constructive about it b/c it worked fine over on
another Linux system I have (no names ...).
I am running testing and have been for some time. I don't recall when
Flash stopped working, but this has been the case for some time. At
first, I searched in Aptitude for anything related to Flash, just to
make sure I had everything available installed. No help.
I just read over a few threads in the -user list, & on the strength of
what I found I tried simply following the "install the latest version"
link from a Flash-intensive site ... chose the (Ubuntu) .deb and installed
it. Restarted Iceweasel, enabled the new Flash player v. 10 in the
plugins dialogue and disabled the older ones. Restarted Iceweasel.
No Flash. Still got the lovely
"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's
Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."
Javascript is on. I did a dpkg-reconfigure on adobe-flashplugin. Restarted
Iceweasel, checked plugins ... and v. 10 of the Flash player had
disappeared and I was still getting the same message when I tried to play
anything on Youtube.
I'm 98% certain I am doing something stupid here, but would appreciate it
if someone could point me in the direction of ... something that will tell
me how to diagnose the problem and make it all better. Cuz I'm close to
throwing the laptop (or just my Debian installation) against the wall.
Thx,
Glenn
