Steve Scrimpshire Posted May 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 (edited) Try the later path to install the plugin, see if it works. They weren't, but I copied them over and still no-go. I have tried the Macromedia site to test and as many other flash sites as I could find through Google.

bvc Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 does running the browser in a terminal give any info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted May 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 No. Running the browser in the terminal gave no info. I 'solved' this. Here's how: urpme mozilla urpme mozilla-firefox rm -rf /usr/lib/mozilla rm -rf /home/omar/.mozilla /home/omar/.phoenix rm -rf /root/.mozilla /root/.phoenix urpme flash-plugin urpmi mozilla urpmi mozilla-firefox urpmi flash-plugin-7.0.25-1.i386.rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 yep, that's like the ML-8.1 and 8.2 days where just about every upgrade of galeon required uninstalling all mozilla pkgs, galeon and flash and putting them in a dir together and rpm -ivh mozilla galeon flash and the rest all at one time. Always fix flash for me. Haven't seen it in a long time....I'll have to keep this in mind again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted June 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 It sucks that I have to lose all my browser extensions, settings, hacks, etc, just to upgrade flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 I see, so a re-installation of the package would resolve the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted June 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 No, just urpme'ing firefox and urpmi-ing it again does NOT fix it, because /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-blah remains behind. I had to remove everything manually that urpme does not remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Is removal of /root/.mozilla && /root/.phoenix necesary if I only access Mozilla / Firefox as a normal user account? I thought it is about removing your old user setting for Mozilla / Firefox, which I did for every new version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted June 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Try doing it without both of these: rm -rf /home/omar/.mozilla /home/omar/.phoenix rm -rf /root/.mozilla /root/.phoenix They may not be absolutely necessary and definitely the root one isn't necessary if you never use root to run firefox.

zero0w Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 I see, I use the official or third party Mozilla/Firefox tarball binary instead of mdk rpm, so that would account for the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
