Finally got a temporary fix by using Chromium browser instead of Firefox. I lay most of the blame with Adobe. Note that: 1) I woke up one morning to find that myspace no longer worked with Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) and Flash 9 on my laptop. I attempted to install Flash 10 as suggested and it failed even at this stage (with no upgrade of Ubuntu in mind).
2) I decided to upgrade in case Hardy was the problem - it was just a freak that Lucid LTS came online at exactly this time (or was it?) 3) You all know the upgrade fracas. 4) When I finally got Flash 10 working on Chromium, I found that on myspace adverts were appearing over the top of the player (and stopping it). Is this why they wanted to use Flash 10 - did it facilitate popup adverts? Was it released too soon to get this going? I am not happy. Unfortunately I need myspace - as a folk club co- organiser I need to listen to a lot of material put there by intending (grossly underpaid) 'Guests' (as we call artists). I also listen a lot to BBC radio on the web for 'listen again' - currently it doesn't work on my Firefox despite being notionally useable with Flash 9. (But a clean install of Lucid on a cruddy old desktop in another room works fine with Firefox.) I believe this is not off-topic - sorry if you disagree. -- broken packaging: package flashplugin-nonfree 10.0.22.87ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: (breaks upgrade) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429841 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
