The package itself is just a downloader+installer, with a few associated
utility programs. It doesn't always get updated when the plugin it
downloads does, but you can trigger the download yourself.

To check whether a new version is available upstream, run:
update-flashplugin-nonfree --status

To initiate an update attempt, run:
update-flashplugin-nonfree --install

Both commands will only work as root. (You can get the 'status' command
to work as an ordinary user with fakeroot and the full path, but that's
a bit more complicated.)

Unfortunately, however, just because the 'status' command shows a new
version as being available that doesn't mean the 'install' command will
necessarily pick it up. The 'install' process checks the upstream binary
against a validation list available on the package maintainer's personal
Debian Webspace, and if it doesn't find a match, it doesn't download or
install the new version. (This rather surprised me, the first time I
encountered it.)

In my experience, the new version will become installable via this
procedure within a week or so after it gets released. There's no visible
indication of when this has happened that I know of; you just have to
keep retrying the 'install' command until it goes through.

Anyone interested in exactly how this works is encouraged to examine the
update-flashplugin-nonfree executable; it's a standard shell script,
although a somewhat involved one.

Install gnome-tweak-tool (this is a must for everyone using Gnome3,
you can't modify anything without it). Then go to "Desktop" and enable
"Icons on Desktop".

Annoying pop-up window

[Ron]

Whenever I plug in a USB drive, camera or Kindle I get a pop-up window advising 
me that "Removable medium is inserted, select action...

Given that I will open the medium from Pcmanfm, which is always open on one 
desktop, this is an annoyance/waste of time and clicks.

Is there a way to prevent the window from popping up ?

Re: Changing Window Title in Putty

[Aero Maxx]

I believe I have the command prompt set correctly as to how I want it.

For this I want it to show at all times, regardless of if I am in a 
screen or not.

"[root@localhost ~]# "

For the window title in whatever ssh client I happen to be using I would 
like it to be as follows when not in a screen session

"root@localhost:~"

When I am in a screen I want the windows title to show
"[screen 0: root@localhost ~]# "

At present I have managed to get the window title to be correct when not 
in a screen, but when I am in a screen it shows as follows

"[screen 0: bash] root@localhost ~ "


In Fedora $PROMPT_COMMAND is set with
xterm*|vte*)
PROMPT_COMMAND='printf "\033]0;%s@%s:%s\007" "${USER}" 
"${HOSTNAME%%.*}" "${PWD/#$HOME/\~}"'

;;
screen*)
PROMPT_COMMAND='printf "\033k%s@%s:%s\033\\" "${USER}" 
"${HOSTNAME%%.*}" "${PWD/#$HOME/\~}"'

;;

In Debian $PROMPT_COMMAND isn't set with anything.


I'm a little more confused now as I thought $PS1 was for the command 
prompt as this has a setting for it to be coloured in the .bashrc file, 
and obviously the window title bar wouldn't pay any attention to the 
colours.


So what is $PROMPT_COMMAND actually for ? is this the command prompt or 
the windows title.

Does localhost show the actual hostname?  That would be better.  Anyway

The firewall should have nothing to do with it, assuming you can
browse the web. Openweathermap "recently" (months ago) turned nazi
with their API which forced all applications relying on it to get a
special "application key" or similar. That has finally been fixed for
the openweathermap gadget in gnome3 on debian testing, but I'm not

Slightly OT...I'm surprised so many weather applets don't use the
regionally official sources for this information.  At least in North
America, Environment Canada and the National Weather Service have standard
APIs and update frequently, sometimes minutely during major events.

This site displays fine, great ascii art like I used to enjoy. Had animated 
games doing stuff like this.

However, does not answer the question, why connect and transfer of information 
to plasma widgets of Yahoo weather and openweathermap seems blocked. 
Apparently (maybe I am wrong, 'tis something else) these are not using 
straightup http protocols any longer.

No.  That is  not correct.  At least, it is correct as far as it goes, but it 
completely misses the point.  If one uses Gmail's POP3 facility, it does not 
allow you download copies of emails you sent - to mailing lists etc. - in the 
list, in the thread to which they belong.  You will see that although I use 
Gmail's POP3 facility, I do not use the Gmail SMTP for mailing list emails 
precisely because of this.  I use Zen's SMTP server.  I like getting my 
emails in the list in the proper place in the thread.

Gmail's "conversations" are not threading, and break threads for threading 
email clients.

I should probably point out that gkrellm's weather gizmo fetches that 
info from the net site it is configured to get it from, in my case the 
north central regional airport server 20 miles NE of me, at 15 minute 
intervals.  And it does so simply by my entering the "call letters" of 
the airport, in my case KCKB in the config screen.  That hasn't changed 
in decades.  And that locks out any lockin that other commercial 
services try to do so they can charge yti for the service.

If I hover the mouse over the temp display, I get a full report, same as 
the pilots do, as a popup.  Whats not to like?  Get your nearest 
stations call sign at

Re: Changing Window Title in Putty

[Andrew McGlashan]

The first thing I do with Putty is adjust the "default settings" to my
liking, save it and then use that as a base for new entries for each
server that I need to connect to; I save each server's settings.

That lends itself well to giving each saved session it's own window
title in the manner that you've been given.  It's the perfect answer for
you.

New Weather Protocol?

[David Baron]

Non of my weather widgets work any longer. OK, Yahoo changed their API, but 
the updated widget still does not work. Neither does open weathermap?

So ... is there something new I must enable in the firewall??

Umm, the instruction looks very good for putty as you asked for.

Which version of putty are you using and what type of machine are you
running it from?

A.

That maybe the case but it's nothing something in putty that I need to 
change.


When I use the same putty client to log into both a debian 8 server and 
a fedora server, the fedora one has the window title how I want it, the 
debian server has the window title different.


So I must need to change a file on debian surely else why would they be 
different when using the same putty client and having it configured the 
same for both servers.


Thanks,
Daniel.
