Hiya, Geoff.
Geoffrey wrote:Easy fix, edit line 109 in /usr/bin/update_flash, change grep -A2 Linux to grep -A3 Linux.

make sure you delete the ~/.flash_update folder if it exists before running the script.

tell me if that fixes it for you...
Flamin' Adobe..! I wonder if they'll ever get tired of playing 'musical URLs'? :lol:

I'm running a slightly adapted version of your Auto-Updater; I've modified the target path to point to my remote data partition, from where I run all my browsers, sym-linked into all my Pups so I only run one instance of each.....using davids45's method.

I've got a single instance of PepperFlash linked into all the Chromium-based browsers.....so I figured it'd make just as much sense to have a single instance of FlashPlayer, sym-linked into every Pup at /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, for the Mozilla-based ones, too.

Which works nicely.

I keep Pepper updated with a slightly adapted version of the modification sfs made to your original script, so's it'll work for Pepper:-

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 162#913162

And it works beautifully.

----------------------------------------

Anyway, back to the matter at hand. I've substituted

Code: Select all

grep -A3
...for

Code: Select all

grep -A2
.....deleted /root/.flash_update, re-run Menu->Internet->Update Flash, and she's behaving herself again. (For the moment... :roll: :lol: )

So, go ahead and re-publish. Sorry to have put you through all that again...! (At least it's working once more.....for the time being.)

Thanks, Geoff. It's very much appreciated. I may be a wee bit 'sloppy' with some stuff in Pup.....but Flash is one thing I am strict about (and running around 10 Pups, it's a nightmare keeping on top of them all manually!) Automating it makes one less thing to worry about...


Mike. :wink:

removed the version on my slacko 6.3.0 and installed the new one. The 'download flashplayer update' pane stays empty, and no download starts. Sorry to say, it ain't working for me.

The directory /root/.update_flash is most likely still in existence from the previous failed attempt, delete it and then it should work :wink:

Updating Flash

#95 Post by Bird Dog »

I'm having problems updating Geoffrey's flash on my 32 bit computer. The update works great on my 64 bit computer (version 26.0.0.131). When I try to update on my 32 bit computer it says adobe flash update has already started. New Version for YUM for Linux.tar.gz for Linux.rpm for Linux. I click resume which is all I can do and it says download flash player update please wait but nothing happens. I also tried deleting the directory through the pfind program and uninstalled everything that said flash update and tried reinstalling like you mentioned above but still no joy.
I now have an older version of flash than what I started with. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sounds like you have what Mike Walsh experienced, download and install the latest version update_flash-1.8.pet from the first post,
make sure you delete the ~/.flash_update directory before running the updater.
I just tested the 1.8 version to be sure it's still working, worked fine.

Adobe Auto Updater

#97 Post by Bird Dog »

Hi Geoffrey I tried deleting anything that had flash update while using pfind but some of the directories wouldn't delete, probably the ones that needed to be. Anyway that gave me an excuse to try Tahrpup 606 and then when I installed your flash update it worked fine. Thanks for your help.

Thanks

I have been labouring to get a working version of Tahrpup64 6.06 onto a machine, and after multiple reinstall and a couple of major issues, overcome with the help of forum members, I installed the updater (1.8) so that I would no longer have to see the no flashplayer warning. It seemed to work well, so I set it to run on boot. But when I did a reboot, my mouse pad/keyboard (USB remote) were frozen. I discovered that unplugging and replugging the USB key restored mousepad function, but I still have no keyboard. Has anyone seen this before, and is it due to something the flashplayer updater may have changed?
Thanks for your assistance.

@autumnleaves,

The option for it to check at startup only creates a symbolic link in ~/Startup to the /usr/bin/update_flash.

This shouldn't affect your usb ports, there must be another problem.

This updater only downloads the 32bit version of flash, Getflashplayer might be a better option as it caters for 64bit http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 815#960815

Thank you for your reply, I wonder if the xorg.conf file might be affected. On the first reboot the Nvidia driver lost settings, but on a subsequent reboot correct resolution was restored.

Thanks, but it must be past my ability level. I'll just keep using flashblock. Adobe stuff isn't necessary for what I do these days anyway. Flash is only good for getting ads anymore.

@ Argolance:-

Half the trouble with trying to use the auto-updater scripts is Adobe's insistence on playing 'musical URLs'. They keep changing the source URLs where you can obtain the downloads from.

Myself, I always use the Flash Checker page from Adobe:-

http://www.adobe.com/uk/software/flash/about/

....and follow it up by using the link further down the page:-

https://www.adobe.com/go/getflash

.....to d/l the latest version. I then unzip the tarball with UExtract, and stick libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. A bit on the 'manual' side, perhaps, but it keeps me up-to-date.

You're not the only one having trouble getting hold of the latest version, 'cos trying to navigate through Adobe's site is a bit like trying to tiptoe through a minefield. It's a f***ing nightmare, mate.

------------------------------------------------------------

We'll only have about another year of this, anyway; at the end of 2020, Flashplayer/PepperFlash will have gone the way of the dodo, and become extinct. At that point in time, all websites will have to go HTML5-only; either that, or they'll start losing traffic, big-time. :roll:

Some webmasters are playing the 'waiting-game', and are hanging on for grim death until the deadline, at which point they'll have no choice but to re-code their sites.....

Bonjour,
Thank you Mike for your answer.

Ah ah! :)
Yes indeed: one nightmare among many because it's not the only field in which you have to travel on tiptoe!
I still wonder what is the point of such a survival strategy? They're bored and have nothing else to do?

Cheers!

You're not alone. Fortunately, Flash isn't important to me anymore. I would like to be able to delete all the flash update files, but some persist anyway. Several minutes after starting FF, I get the message that the updater failed, where I used to get it right after startup of the system.

I think the script from Geoffrey at first post needs an update because of a change at the adobe end, changing the "about" url: 'adobe.com/software/flash/about/' to: 'get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/' makes it work again for me, here's modified script:

Code: Select all

# By Geoffrey, do with as you please.......
# 15052017
# Update Flash v1.8
# Used sed in place of perl as suggested by sfs
# yad no longer a dependency, uses gtkdialog
# fixed url not found "get.adobe.com/flashplayer/" from some locale's, get update version info from alternate url "adobe.com/software/flash/about" rg66
# fix linux detection by sfs
# 14122016 final, Linux flashplayer now follows Firefox - NPAPI
# 20022017 reverted back to using busybox strings to get libflashplayer.so version number
# now only looks for new version @ adobe.com/software/flash/about
# URL fix 15052017

@ Fred:-

Thanks for the 'fix', mate! Your modified script has got my update_flash-1.8 working again for the first time in a loooong while..... :D

This was always one of my favourite bits of Geoff's software, 'cos I love the GUI for it. I know you can appreciate that, seeing as how you're very much a GUI man yourself (and understand the value of them), since they help to convince newbies that Pup's not SO hard after all.....

Adobe went through an extended spell, some while back, of juggling all their Flash download URLs around every few weeks.....and this went on for months and months. I believe Geoff simply got fed-up with constantly re-writing the script.....then he dropped off the radar for quite a while, and when he did reappear, I think his priorities had changed. Update_flash just slid further and further down into the Puppy 'pit of obscurity'...

Our Russian colleague, SFS, adapted Geoff's script for PepperFlash, and it works so well that I incorporated it into my Chrome & Iron packages. Strictly speaking, it's not needed for Chrome any longer, since the Linux release now auto-updates from within the browser itself , though it still works well for Iron.

Curiously, Adobe have never shifted the Pepper URL around, not even once; it works as well today as the day when SFS posted his 'mod'.....

Go figure. A sign, I guess, of the enormous 'clout' Big Brother now wields; it can even 'persuade' a huge concern like Adobe to do things so they're to Google's advantage.....


Mike. :wink:

De rien, thanks! :wink:

This is why, seeing that Geoffroy has not been seen on the Forum since July, continuing the momentum of the "getflash" originally created by technosaurus and Barry K, improved by ASRI, a remote configuration file was used, automatically downloaded at the start of the application and saved as /root/.getflash/getflash.conf, avoiding having to modify the main script. I also added, for ToOpPy users, a flashing notification icon in the system tray when a new flash version is available, icon that user has just to click to install the latest version.
This :arrow: getflashplayer 1.7.2, which obviously does not intend to overshadow Geoffroy's script, is also internationalized, which makes it accessible to non-English-speaking users.

Cordialement.
