In fact, if I try to install mozilla-plugin-flash, software manager says that mozplugger has to be installed also. When I say OK, it then says that mozplugger (exact same version) has to be UNinstalled along with mozilla-mail and some other basic mozilla stuff !! (to which i say no of course)...
I installed "mozilla-1.3.1-4.1mdk" instead of just version 1.3-1 that comes with MDK. Could that be the problem?

AND I also followed the instructions on mozdev.org (copying files to the
plugins-dir etc.). I have "libflashplayer.so", "libnullplugin.so" and a
symlink to "libjavaplugin_oji.so" in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3.1/plugins, and
"flashplayer.xpt" (a.o.) in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3.1/components. And
"libflashplayer.so" and "flashplayer.xpt" in
/home/barting/.mozilla/plugins.

Can't think of anything else to do...



Don't get hung up about this too much. You are handling this problem in the Windows way. Checking what is missing in about: plugins is a fine start, but then you need to uploads from Mandrake to cover them. Mandrake is very weird about not configuring Moz with the proprietary plugins due to something in their philosophy.


Now, my about:plugins states I have Mozplugger, and libnullplugin.so. You need these. Open Drakconf/Software Management/RPMDrake, and get mozplugger, libnullplugin.so should have come from the installation of Moz. Then you need mozilla-flash.

I would say that you should try uninstalling Mozilla with RPMDrake, then installing moz, mozplugger, and mozflash with RPMDrake. Then if you want them in Konqueror, update Konq's plugins in Konq.
