Post by: mylo on 2014/06/12, 01:15:00: devil, thanks for that. What is the reason that the player's upgrade is not in the d-u's? Is that difficult to be integrated? Just to understand.

the prog that comes with DU is only a downloader, not flash itself.
so you have to manually execute this program.
I have a file inside /etc/cron.daily with
Code: [Select]
#!/bin/sh test -x /usr/sbin/update-flashplugin-nonfree && /usr/sbin/update-flashplugin-nonfree --install --quiet
as has been suggested in this forum. luxury version is here
http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=4273.msg35719#msg35719

beware: this cronjob works, but sometimes you have to wait a couple of days until the maintainer of the flashdownloader updates it (up to a week sometimes).
but this time it worked in no time without effort.

# update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree -s

~~No (but the confusion is understandable).~~

Edit: I was wrong here -- that is a good command to see available updates if the plugin was previously installed.

To install it:

Code: [Select]
apt-get update && apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree

Code: [Select]
# apt-cache policy pepperflashplugin-nonfree pepperflashplugin-nonfree: Installed: 1.3 Candidate: 1.3 Version table: *** 1.3 0 500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable/contrib amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Post by: oldie on 2014/06/12, 23:27:12: chromium and update pepperflashplugin-nonfree
code: update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install

works fine
test:

If you want to get Flash 14, you either need to wait for maintainer or use --unverified option with --install:
Code: [Select]

if you have installed the flashplugin, you can have flash in iceweasel,
if you have installed the pepperplugin, you will have flash in chromium.
you can have installed both.

i tried to use the pepperplugin for iceweasel using this link:
http://www.webupd8.org/2014/05/install-fresh-player-plugin-in-ubuntu.html

somehow I got it working, but i had to fumble around too much. so I returned to flash version 11.2.x in iceweasel via flashplugin.
maybe someone has a safe way to use this.

Post by: michaa7 on 2014/06/16, 16:17:26: As all problems seem solved so far I guess I may misuse this thread for a rant about chromium and why I don't get it people like chromium (I won't repeat my former rant posted in other threads):

I installed pepperflashplugin-nonfree and wanted to look whether or not it is available in chromium. Even in the english version there is no menu entry "plugins", or "settings/plugins" or whatever.

If I hadn't read here in the forums about how to find plugins in chromium, I'd have cursed in all possible ways. How T** F*** is this a sane menu?

... and why I don't get it people like chromium ...

There was a period of time, some years ago, when the buggy/leaky npviewer in Firefox would drive my CPU to 100% in the middle of the night, and I would find my computer in that state in the morning. It did not take very many times for that to happen, and I switched to chrome. Once I got used to it, I have stayed with it for my primary browser. It is just a habit -- iceweasel seems perfectly stable and reliable these days too.
