Thanks!  It doesn't seem to have made any difference to anything. :-(

Not definitive, but I would guess that the package downloads the file to 
a temporary directory, then unpacks the flash plugin from it and 
installs it on your system. Finally, the temporary directory is deleted 
once it's no longer needed.


The text "Saving to ..." and "... saved" would appear to come from wget, 
but it would probably be nice for the package installer to echo 
something afterwards to indicate that it's done more than just download 
a file onto your system.

 I've never looked good when buying hardware. I have no sense of style.
 
 But seriously, I've been careful, but it's pretty hard to find notebooks
 that have the capabilities I want without at least having to install one
 (usually wifi) driver.

When using a newer Linux kernel, most wifi adapters have a driver.
I think you mean non-free firmware.

In my opinion non-free firmware in wifi cards is something else. A
manufacturer could also use a ROM where they flashed it in, then loading
the firmware was not necessary. That code is not running on the main
processor.  Of cause I like free firmware more, like some more difficult
to find wifi cards offer.

But a wifi with free drivers is easy to find.

 Gnash disappeared from testing a little while ago, and the lightspark
 plugin doesn't play anything, anywhere, ever for me.

 Makes me happy that html5 is beginning to catch on.

 I agree that gnash was pretty frumpy, but I could at least play videos
 at youtube. Not sure what folks using Jessie are supposed to do for
 flash besides go nonfree.

 Most sites, including Youtube, are working fine with HTML5.
 
 I should check that out. I don't really spend much time there except to
 look for classical piano music. For at least a while after introduction
 of html5 they had not yet converted much of the media to that kind of
 streaming. Is everything converted now?

So far I saw on Youtube: yes.  And this is the case for most sites.

But I have seen sites where some older video's where not accessible and
where they ask for flash. Strange enough, it did sometimes help to
refresh the browser, sometimes it played then without problems.

Realize that tablets and smartphones don't offer flash too.

Paul van der Vlis.

Flash problems

[Paul van der Vlis]

Hello,

These days problems with flash.

In Wheezy it's easy, this will fix the problem:
update-flashplugin-nonfree --install

But some people with old Squeeze installations did also call me. I told
them they need an upgrade. Fixing that for the time being was a bit more
work.  What I did was copying the libflashplayer.so from a Wheezy
installation to my website, and downloading it to the clients:

cd /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree
mv libflashplayer.so libflashplayer.so-backup
64-bits:
wget https://vandervlis.nl/files/libflashplayer.so
32-bits:
wget https://vandervlis.nl/files/libflashplayer32.so
mv libflashplayer32.so libflashplayer.so

After this, you need to restart Iceweasel and to enable the plugin in
Iceweasel, because it's disabled for security reasosns. Maybe very good
reasons.

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.

download the tar.gz archive, extract the libflashplayer.so file and move it to

All update-flashplugin-nonfree does is download the newer version from
the adobe website, if there is a newer version available, right?

Have you all tried gnash yet? I tried it a few times over the last few
years. Every install attempt was a major #FAIL. Can't remember what
went wrong with libflashplayer.so (again) this past week, but I ended
up trying to install (again) out of both exasperation and contempt for
Linux being left behind these days...

This time IT WORKS!

Well, not at first. I attempted lightspark but for some reason that
didn't go well. Perhaps the experimental labeling has something to
do with that there.. *grin*

I noticed gnash was installed as a lightspark dependency so, after
having problems with lightspark, I backed up and just focused on
seeing if I couldn't finally get gnash operational. Took a tiny bit of
manual file manipulation to get my browser to recognize its existence.
As of this second, it's working in both Opera and chromium-browser.

Between that and stumbling on the minor detail that all you do to get
cracking on a debootstrap'd release is chroot the target path to get
chroot... you know... (also) working, it's been quite the learning
curve week. *Look out!*

I've never heard of lightspark.  I installed gnash once a few years ago
and I did gnash (my teeth).

What is your definition of the word working?

Heh. I'd take gnash right now.

What I did for a few months, was removing all Adobe flash, Gnash and
Lightsprak. And what I see is that most sites switch to HTML5 when there
is no flash.  Games for children is a problem, and here in the
Netherlands the sites where you can watch TV. But for the rest... I
don't have any flash anymore on my work-computer. And it was the last
peace of closed software.

I need to be able to explore the time-machine of American culture that

experience the last time I looked.

you're less paranoid than I am. Also, I had a ton of problems supporting 
Adobe software before I retired from publishing industry, and I just 
decided to wash my hands of anything related to them.



Gnash disappeared from testing a little while ago, and the lightspark
plugin doesn't play anything, anywhere, ever for me.

Makes me happy that html5 is beginning to catch on.


I'm all for html5.


I agree that gnash was pretty frumpy, but I could at least play videos
at youtube. Not sure what folks using Jessie are supposed to do for
flash besides go nonfree.


I need to be able to explore the time-machine of American culture that
is youtube with ease and fluidity, in that typically associative way
that is the hallmark of web surfing. Gnash didn't give me that
experience the last time I looked.



No question that gnash was always a bumpy ride at best. Guess that's why 
it finally got ditched.

I've never looked good when buying hardware. I have no sense of style.

But seriously, I've been careful, but it's pretty hard to find notebooks 
that have the capabilities I want without at least having to install one 
(usually wifi) driver.

Most sites, including Youtube, are working fine with HTML5.


I should check that out. I don't really spend much time there except to 
look for classical piano music. For at least a while after introduction 
of html5 they had not yet converted much of the media to that kind of 
streaming. Is everything converted now?

Then create a directory in ~/.config

restart firefox and click on some flash content. It took almost a minute 
to crank up and the sound stuttered a bit longer (self config?) until it 
worked properly. Now, it works on all flash files. I'm still dinking 
with the sound settings though. This is BETA !! I'm getting audio 
stutter still at times. But, firefox doesn't blow up now. Good Luck! Ric

As of this second, it's working in both Opera and chromium-browser.



I've never heard of lightspark.  I installed gnash once a few years ago
and I did gnash (my teeth).

What is your definition of the word working?



Heh. I'd take gnash right now.

I just can't bring myself to install the nonfree flash. (I've had a 
hard enough time convincing myself that it's okay to install non-free 
drivers and the BIOS firmware update packages.)

Sorry for the slight off-topic rant.

Off-topic but html5 is more of a kludge than html4. There is no need for 
it. Everything that can be done in html5 (and more) has been doable in 
xhtml for years.

I'm curious. Are any of the sites like youtube producing multi-media 
content via xhtml?

Compact FLASH problems

[Brian Dockter]

Please forgive me if this is a duplicate. I couldn't find my original
post anywhere, so I'm sending it again.

I'm having trouble getting my PCMCIA adapter working. Here's a brief
system description:

 Debian v2.2 with 2.2.17-idepci kernel
 Dell 450MHz PIII
 Actiontec PCMCIA adapter (TI PCI1225 chip on a PCI card)
 IDE harddriver on IDE bus 0
 CD-ROM  ZIP on IDE bus 1

When I plug in my Compact FLASH card into my PCMCIA adapter, I get the
following messages on the console:

 hde: SST48CF064C-B6 CompactFlash Memory Card, ATA DISK drive
 ide2 at 0x100-0x107,0x10e on irq 3
  hde:hde: lost interrupt
 hde: lost interrupt
 hde: lost interrupt
 hde: lost interrupt
  hde1 hde2
  hde:hde: lost interrupt
 hde: lost interrupt
  hde1 hde2
 hde: lost interrupt
 hde: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
 hde: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

If I try to mount the memory card, it takes several minutes (and lots of
lost interrupt messages) but will eventually mount. Also, any read/write
I do to the card prints out more lost interrupt messages.

Does anyone have any ideas what might be the problem and how I could fix
it?

Thanks for the help,


Brian

not actually an answer, but, there is a debian-laptop list.  I suspect people
there may be able to help.
