World Cup, Adobe and upgrading from Etch to Lenny
in [Debian]
|
From: Bill on 12 Jun 2010 08:00 Hi folks, I'm trying to steam World Cup games, which I've been doing fine until now. But CBC our national broadcaster has switched streaming systems and now requires that I upgrade to Flash Player 10.1 on Etch. I don't think it's possible. Leave it to a non-free package to screw up my system. I'm not ready to upgrade this system yet to Lenny, so I'd like to keep it in Etch if possible. I can't seem to install Flash because of unmet dependencies. I've tried forcing (-f) and using backports.org with apt but no joy. I wonder if someone can tell me if it's possible to install Flash Player 10 on Etch? Basically, all attempts give me an output similar to this: # apt-get -t backports.org install libpango1.0-0 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done libpango1.0-0 is already the newest version. You might want to run âapt-get -f installâ to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies. adobe-flashplugin: Depends: libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.20.0) but 1.12.4-3 is to be installed Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4) but 2.3.6.ds1-13etch10+b1 is to be installed Depends: libcairo2 (>= 1.6.0) but 1.2.4-4.1+etch1 is to be installed Depends: libfreetype6 (>= 2.3.5) but 2.2.1-5+etch4 is to be installed Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0) but 2.8.20-7 is to be installed Depends: libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.20.5) but 1.14.8-5+etch1 is to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try âapt-get -f installâ with no packages (or specify a solution). Usually apt is one of my favourite tools. But not today. Any ideas? Is there a way to back out of this and start again? To get Flash 10 installed on Etch? b. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Leave it to a non-free package to screw up my system. (...) Are you running a 32 bits system? If yes, you could first try the "easy" path: 1/ Download Flash Player from Adobe site http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash 2/ Unpack the "tar.gz" file and put the "libflashplayer.so" into your "~/ mozilla/plugins/" folder (if not present, just create it). 3/ Launch Icewasel and test. Note: This should work on Iceweasel 3.0.x releases, I have not tested with the older ones (2.x). Note 2: Remember that you can also download the latest version of Firefox from Mozilla site (usually no installation needed, just "click&run").

Thanks. If anyone else is having this problem.... I installed Lenny on another box with IceWeasel3 and FlashPlayer10. This now works. Etch and IceWeasel2 and FlashPlayer10 only partially works. It will play canned downloads but not the live streams. IceWeasel2 is too old to work with FlashPlayer10 as Etch can't meet its dependencies. The live streams require the later versions found in Lenny. b. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
