[SOLVED] No flash working at all
very odd. I goto youtube in any browser and the "Tube" window is just black. If I right click on the video, it says video not loaded and about Adobe Flash 10.
I have read alot but nothing that stops all flash from working.
Note: I do not have a flash disabler plugin at all either.
Any help will be appreciated.

Re: No flash working at all
I had same situation with Firefox. I fixed my problem by updating firefox shockwave flash.
This topic will help you to do that:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=72557
What I did was a little bit different.
I downloaded http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/fl ... 386.tar.gz
I copied kcm_adobe_flash_player.so and libflashplayer.so from the archive in:
/lib/firefox/plugins
and in:
/usr/lib/kde3
And I restarted Firefox.
From Tools-->Add-ons-->Plugins you will see if the renewing of shockwave flash is done.

The Popup or adblocker is not enabled. Also tried with the firewall off. No dice.
Fixing the flash in Chromium.... will that fix flash in Firefox, Opera and Seamonkey? Seems that none of my browsers will run flash. If I right click on the black 'movie' I get "Movie not loaded" ---grayed out and "About Adobe Flash 10.0"
just curious.
Thanks!

Mickee- take the advice given by Saintless. You need only extract libflashplayer.so from the pkg.

yes on a previous install. I'm not sure with this one. seemed to all start when I updated firefox to 8.0.Semme wrote:Are you running with or without updated video drivers? Has Flash ever worked under your "five-two" full install?
There is a copy of libflashplayer.so in the plugin dir for each browser
and I did extract libflashplayer.so and placed in the appropriate plugin folder..are those the questions?
Does FF work OK or no, not really?

No updated drivers this install and the last. and flash hasn't worked since. This was a clean full install.Semme wrote:Sounds like something's broken.. what, I don't know.
So with a previous install you ran updated video drivers.. this one you can't remember.
I'll ask again- has Flash ever worked under your current 5.2 install?
