Phil -- very thoughtful of you to put that in Tahr.
Pale Moon was frustrating me -- no more!

Yeah, it seems "awk" isn't finding the version string in libflashplayer.so, Adobe must of changed something, so I have gone back to using "busybox strings", that fixed it.mgolden wrote:Geoffrey,
This updater seems to have broken with the latest version of flash.
I'm seeing:
"Adobe Flash update has already started...
New Version 24.0.0.221"
Thank you kind sir!Geoffrey wrote:

It now only looks for new versions at adobe.com/software/flash/about, that sped things up as it was hanging for a long time for me at get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
Updated to update_flash-1.7, see first post
PS remove /root/.flash_update if it still exist before running the new one.
Code: Select all
INSTALLED_VERSION="`sed -n '/LNX /s/.*LNX \([0-9,]\+\).*/\1/p' "$pf" | tr -dc 0-9, | sed 's/,/./g'`"
I've been without net, I'll have a look when I get the chance MikeMike Walsh wrote:Hiya, Geoff.
This must be getting boring, fast.
Any ideas what's causing this?
It's been doing this for several weeks now, so I've simply reverted to using the old, manual method of GetFlash-1.7. Which is a shame, 'cos this has always been a really neat utility (when it condescends to behave itself...)![]()
Mike.
Flamin' Adobe..! I wonder if they'll ever get tired of playing 'musical URLs'?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...
Code: Select all
grep -A3
Code: Select all
grep -A2
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.
