Linux 2.6.33.2 (32-bit) My old Lupu 528-005 has this kernel obviously.
So maybe I should try later versions then. And I use the 32 bit
so I should not use the 64 bit download. But it works well so maybe no need
to change?

not an ideal solution though

Our computer press tells us it is an important update
because the security risk they've found was serious.

I've forgotten how to find the right dir
to put it in but maybe pfind find it?

Backup your existing libflashplayer.so, then extract the new one, overwriting the old.

I have never updated flashplayer on my own ... I always need a reminder.
Thank you, Semme.

nooby,
Updating is simple, but I may have missed a step in my previous post.
1) Create a directory and unpack the downloaded 'install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz' into it.
2) Copy 'libflashplayer.so' to usr/lib/mozilla/plugins (remove the old one first).
this step, I think, isn't essential, but let's follow Adobe's instructions to the letter
3) Copy 'flash-player-properties' to usr/bin/ (remove the old one first).

I used GetFlash Install Flashplayer

menus > internet > GetFlash Install Flashplayer

I installed Flashplayer 11.2.202.341 in Lupu 3HD 5.2.8.6 and is working great in YouTube

I also recently installed gtk_youtube_viewer-3.0.2-lucid and this helped the hesitation problem I was having on YouTUbe.

Because I'm not getting the same result, you should mention the failing browser, it's version and your player version.

With an older FF, you could probably *spoof* it's user agent: How to change the User Agent in Firefox

The current line has changed: general.useragent.enable_overrides

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0
You however.. stick with the extension.
