Ditto....Java...

 

not well up on debian, but isn't it in synaptic ?

search for flash-player-plugin and java-1.6.0-sun

or alternatively you can get flash from adobe

Capn Crow, are you using Kubuntu or KDE on Debian?

Welcome to MajorGeeks.

 

Hi... I,m using KDE. .But am using Konqueror with terminal open to do the job . Dunno if this is right.

If you do not have synaptic, type

Code:

sudo apt-get install synaptic

Ubuntu calls Adobe Flash ubuntu-restricted-extras in 32 bit and flashplugin-installer in 64 bit.

To find if you have installed 32 bit or 64 bit type

Code:

uname-a

Then for 32 bit

Code:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

or for 64 bit

Code:

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

Ubuntu Man page for Restricted Extras.

Debian man page for flash

This page may help as well.

 

I have synaptic package manager.....
The os is Debian squeeze. With Kde kickoff application manager.
the browser is iceweasel. Thats where I fall down no movies.
I have no problem downloading the package .but cannot get it to kick in on browser.
Am I missing a lib .:cry:cry:cry:cry.
Have konqueror .which gives me a su root terminal . can get ftp files etc . But the install I cannot figure out .
I386 32bit :wave

 

E: Unable to locate package flashplugin-installer.This is the output from bash
The ubuntu files are not *apt* so that dont work either.
Synaptic already there

 

I am sorry, I missed you are using Squeeze.
Debian Squeeze should have flashplugin in the multimedia repo (may need to enable with Software Sources) DO NOT ENABLE BACKPORTS

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/flashplugin-nonfree

Perhaps symbolic link to flashplayer is off somewhere....

Code:

sudo locate libflashplayer.so

I am using Linux Mint Debian Edition 64 bit and have Flash 11 installed per this page.

 

I've been trying the synaptic pkg manager. My eyes are burnt out reading help files . Have a good idea how it works but cannot catch FTP files from there. I'll read it again must have missed something. I tried your link to adobe 11 . Not surprised it would not kick for me as using 32bit .

. I know I'm just a line away from getting it sorted .

I have read the Red hat book ( 1300) pages also Mike McGrath's Linux in easy steps,

So much I can do .
Gutted to fall down at this fence

I am very thankful for your patience and kindness

 

Open a terminal and type

Code:

sudo synaptic

Click on Settings then Repositories
(I don't run squeeze so i can only gice an example of a repo I'm using)
It says deb then http://ftp.us.debian.org distribution says oldstable (yours probably says squeeze)
sections: main non-free contrib

Make sure there is a checkmark in only one repository.
Click ok at the bottom to close the repositories box.
You will get a warning which you can ignore (it simply tells you that you've made changes)
Click the reload button and wait while the packages load.

Eventually you can scroll through and click what you want. Synaptic takes care of dependencies so if it tells you you need other packages allow it. When done looking, click the apply icon. You will see how many packages will be installed and how much space. If you agree, click Apply.

 

ok, just installed debian squeeze so here goes,

system > administration > synaptic

add your root password to the prompt

once synaptic has loaded

settings > repositories > debian software tab

check the 2 repositories in the middle (contrib and non free)

click 'close' and 'close' at the prompt

now click 'reload'

click 'search' (not quick search)

type flash in the box,

when its finished, scroll down for flashplugin-nonfree and check the box,
mark for installation

do the same for sun-java6-jre,
click 'mark' for the extra dependencies

click 'apply' and 'apply' at the prompt

once downloaded and installing,
accept the sun agreement and click 'forward'

click 'close' to complete

 

ooops, there's a bit more

just tested flash here

http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

all ok,
but java, tested here

http://javatester.org/index.htm

says its not installed, so 'sun-java6-plugin' also needs installing via synaptic

 

W: Failed to fetch cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.2.1 _Squeeze_ - Official i386 DVD Binary-1 20110626-15:45]/pool/main/u/unixodbc/unixodbc_2.2.14p2-1_i386.deb

Stuff will not come down from the net.Have a good connection running roughly 7.2 mb/s.

 

Using Ghostery . Could this be the problem... all bugs blocked

 

have you set your repo's ?

it seems its trying to access the packages from a cd/dvd

if you have set a repo address then try changing to a different mirror, you may have a bad mirror
i'm using http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian

synaptic > settings > repositories > debian software tab > download from > other

then just choose another

you could also try unchecking cdrom

synaptic > settings > repositories > third party software tab

 

:-D Used the UK mirror ..Sucess... Java ... installed ...
News on adode flash to follow...

 

If you running Debian, you don't want or need to take it off the net. You want to get it from the Debian repos. Please tell us if you tried (as root):

apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree


And tell us what happens. If you get no errors, it will have installed correctly. Then running:

update-flashplugin-nonfree -iv


Should update you to the lastest flash. :major

The above was sent to me by another webber.. IT WORKS...


With correlation of a few people not the least here... All is resolved for now .. Many thanks

 

Have installed icedtea6-plugin . Where do I go to test it ..

 

does it work with the java tester link here

http://javatester.org/

i've found that i never actually needed java up until the point i installed ps3 mediaserver (well, installed is stretching it a bit as its a shell script that runs in one of my /home folders:-D:-D)
without java i can't run it, otherwise never used it on linux

 

I did try that tester .. I will check it again ..Otherwise i'll rummage round on the net .. Wiill post :wine:celebrate:guitar

 

try the tester from sun

http://java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp

i have the sun java not icedtea and they both work on mine, although i am doing it with my mandriva not the vm debian

 

I'm not certain yet . Testers say ok. Looking for Linux chat to try it out .

 

This is life ..cool .. Amazing what Java opens up ... total sucess:wine:dancer:cloud9

 

glad you have it sorted, it does get easier

 

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree
