Installing Flash and Java for SeaMonkey (SOLVED)
Greetings,
This may be a simple question, but I did check first, I'm confused on installing Flash and Java for SeaMonkey, i.e., what folders to extract the tar files to. I have Puppy Wary 5.3 if that makes a difference.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

1a) Java you need to download to /mnt/home (frugal) from this link-
http://101.143.162.62/puppy/opt/
use, jre-1.6.0.37.sfs
or, jre-1.7.0.09.sfs
1b) Use SFS Load to install
2)Flash use get flash, build in with some Puppy (not sure about Wary)

Java and Flashplayer in Wary
In wary 5.3, which I often use, work the latest java and the latest flashplayer:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B9iMb4 ... GVuVHM0SEE
Is a sfs of Oracle jre-7u10-i586
From:
http://get.adobe.com/it/flashplayer/com ... %29_32-bit
click on the downloaded archive and extract libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.
I have to say that I use the latest Firefox instead of the built-in browser after installing dbus and dbus-glib.

Greetings darkcity and watchdog and Happy New Years to you and yours
I'm still a noob to Linux, and I saved the file to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, but I cannot extract it (I was trying to use XArchive).
Can either of you walk me through the process so that I can successfully update Flash and Java for SeaMonkey.
Thanks!

Xarchive
You can download the archive .tar.gz where you want, /root/my-documents for example. Click on it. Xarchive will show the content of the archive. Highlight libflashplayer.so and click on Extract. Then click Choose to browse to desired destination /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. Click Ok. Done. Restart the browser for the new flashplayer having been releaved.VictorVictor5 wrote: I'm still a noob to Linux, and I saved the file to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, but I cannot extract it (I was trying to use XArchive).

Java is already enabled; don't worry about it.
Download "Getflash".
Click file to install.
Go to menu-internet, click Getflash.
Avoid doing updates in Linux unless absolutely
necessary.
Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram.
Msi Wind U100, N270 1.6>2.0Ghz, 1.5Gb ram.
Eeepc 8g 701, 900Mhz, 1Gb ram.
Full installs

Java sfs
No, what have you done! You don't need to extract anything for java. I gave you a sfs at:VictorVictor5 wrote: Now about Java - I extracted all of the files to the same directory you mentioned (/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins) but I'm still a no-go. It still says I'm missing Java.
Did I extract it to the wrong folder or do I need to do something else?
Thanks!

Put the jre-7u10-i586.sfs file in the root directory where you have the savefile: click down left Menu, System, BootManager configure bootup. Click "Choose which extra files to boot at startup": you will see in the left-panel your Jre-7u10-i586.sfs. Add it to right panel. Click Ok. Reboot and java will be loaded at startup. Alternatively you can load the sfs file on the fly with sfs_load-1.2.pet or other versions. Search for it.

Doh! Sorry - Ok, followed your instruction carefully this time, downloaded it, etc., but when I pull up BootManager to try and choose the SFS file it gives me an error saying there are no SFS files in directory /mnt/home (which there are - I see it!!! Well, more specifically I downloaded it to /mnt/home/root which you said) or they all have the wrong '*_nnn.sfs' version number.
I swear I didn't do anything wrong this time!
Any suggestions?

Download jre-7u10-i586.sfs to /mnt/home. This is the root directory of the filesystem. You will see it.VictorVictor5 wrote:Doh!

No problem watchdog. Thanks for your help (and patience!!!) so far.
Safefile (the .sfs file you linked me to I take it), I downloaded it directly to /mnt/home. I'm not too sure of what kind of installation - I guess you mean my Puppy version - I have Puppy Wary 5.3 full.
If not, I didn't extract the .sfs file this time or whatever - just put it in /mnt/home. I personally see it there, but BootManager doesn't.

If you have a full install you must load the sfs file on the fly: "BootManager configure bootup" doesn't work for a full install. You need a sfs_load-1.2.pet installed and working in your wary installation. Read:VictorVictor5 wrote:I have Puppy Wary 5.3 full.

Alternatively from:
http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en
Download the original jre-7u10-linux-i586.tar.gz file. Click on it to open it with Xarchive. Select all and extract to /usr/local/java (make the directory java in /usr/local). Then open a terminal and write:
Code: Select all
ln -s /usr/local/java/jre1.7.0_10/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so

You cannot update java and flashplayer on the firefox side. They are different softwares. Don't care to continuosly update: enjoy your puppy now. When updating java and flashplayer you have to do this job again downloading the latest versions and removing the previously installed.VictorVictor5 wrote:So how can I update java and flash on the Firefox side? Do I have to download the files again? Or is it a terminal command?
