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!

Greetings ; -)

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)

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.

Hi Watchdog,

Thanks the updated SFS, I've added your link to Wiki

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!

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.

Wary 5.3:

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.

Watchdog,

Ok - Flash is a go - cool. Thanks!

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!

No, what have you done! You don't need to extract anything for java. I gave you a sfs at:

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B9iMb4 ... GVuVHM0SEE

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.

Posted: **Thu 03 Jan 2013, 19:41**

Same problem - downloaded it directly to /mnt/home from the link you provided, and the BootManager is still giving me an issue

Do you need a screen shot no offense?

Thanks!

Be calm. Where have you the savefile? What kind of installation have you done?

Posted: **Thu 03 Jan 2013, 19:53**

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:

http://puppylinux.org/wikka/HowtoAddSFStoFullInstall

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

Return. Restart browser and see if it works.

Watchdog,

Cool - that did the trick (thanks!

). I just have one more question. Seems like SeaMonkey and Firefox are both Mozilla. 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?

Thanks!

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.
