Installing Flash 10 on Slack 13
in [Slackware]

From: john on 12 Sep 2009 10:20 I was able to install Flash on 12.2. But using Flash 10 and slack 13 the install sequence stalls on the question about the location of Mozilla. I give it legitimate addresses but it keeps asking again. I even tried the RPM version of Flash 10 but no joy there either. Am I the only one who has had this problem? Is there a workaround?

Googling revealed that copying the plugin to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ fixed things for youtube and the bbc iPlayer. I note one website complains I have no flash. Pete -- http://www.petezilla.co.uk

Are you running noscript of something similar? Some websites won't do anything if you have cookies diabled and also don't inform you of it. BTW, the plugin file is the .so file nb |
