version test of your flashplayerhttp://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

10.3.183.7

Thanks aarf,

I have made a pet of it here: http://www.smokey01.com/Tman/apps/

In the future, I will probably replace it with an updated version.

10.3.183.10

is it my imagination, of does 10.3 feel slower/more jerky than 10.1?

I can't really tell the difference in speed.

Also, flashplayer_10.3.183.10.pet is now availiable: http://www.smokey01.com/Tman/apps/

dont have the older one to test but opera-next plus latest flash is giving no cause for complaints. any jerky play back is usually internet connection related.

Slacko and Lucid/3HD have the GetFlash utility by 01micko that downloads and installs the latest flashplayer. It doesn't use any extra space--it just overwrites the old libflashplayer.so. It can be used when one hears of a new flashplayer version or just every week to be safe

Thanks Aarf

Adobe Flash
In 2011, I have become aware of 2 Flash contribution by Puppy Forum Contributors

• @Pemasu - Flash Addition Request when a browser is used the first time on a Puppy desktop. Script done by BarryK.
• @01Micko - Flash Updater Menu item giving users the opportunity to update flash on a running system.

Also, @TMan has provided PET solutions as well.

JAVA-JRE
Another area of need for similar addressing is with JAVA (JRE). This has such wide-spread application both in desktop as well as in browser use. It would be nice if similar solutions were equally available for this Linux addition, as well. The PPM method seems to have had some issues with JRE system updates as well as survivability over reboots.

Hope this helps

The described GetFlash utility is attached.
Also flashplayer-11.pet is availiable -- here--.

EDIT:
Getflash in Slacko RC, ( and most likely in Lucid 5.2.8 ) only downloads the latest version of flashplayer 10. I will bring this to 01Micko's attention later.

Edit: I have removed the attached get-flash utility as adobe has renamed the target link again. The safest bet is to just get it from the website and extract it to the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder.

11.1.102.55

aarf, it would be appropriate to list the update for what it is- Security update available for Adobe Flash Player.

yes that is good info.you can take over any time you chose.
me i don't ask questions i just update it when it comes for whatever reason.

I vaguely remember that it was rather easy to do it.
The embarrassing thing is that despite I know it was super easy
to do it last time with help from you guys now when I need to do
it again then I have no clue how it should be done and me making
bookmark to the description fail to remember how to find that book
mark even.

I should do it but it is embarrassing to ask how do I do it again.
I rather pretend me did it than reveal I already forget how to find
that knowledge. yes I have a search in my signature but one need
to feed it the right words.

nooby- back up one of your existing libflashplayer.so files, then extract the new and overwrite the old.

Then again- you might be able to use this..
