I know Debian is free software  :)

But a computer without working Flash is useles for surfing in the Web. So how can I get the Flash-plugin to my Siduction installation  :?:

Hopefully the distribution already includes Java   :roll:

add contrib to your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list, right after "main", separatet with a space. Save/exit.

Code Select
apt-get update && apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

ayla, isn't flash plugin non-free? So the sources.list.d/debian.list entry should look like:
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free

contrib alone seems not sufficient.
Ok, you can't code, but you still might be able to write a bug report for Debian's sake

The installer for the plugin is in contrib.

The plugin itself isn't in any debian repo, it's from the adobe side direct, were the installer pulls it from.

So nonfree is not needed, at least to install the flashplugin.

At least that is what I think to know about it :)

ayla, my fault, you were right, it's in contrib, so no need to add non-free for this package.

@fossiili:
We can't provide java-packages with our isos nor with the repository because of license restrictions. But you can install the package java-package. After that you can download the wanted java-tarball and build and install your oracle-java packages, if needed.

Sorry, this is the only way to provide oracle java due to their licences restrictions.

To build the Oracle Java deb from the tarball downloaded from the Oracle site, the java-package package needs to be installed first.

To build the Oracle Java package run (as user)

Code Select

~$ make-jpkg <oracle>


Then you can install the resultant deb if it is built successfully with dpkg -i <packagename> as root

What you wrote, do you really think so?
When flash format will be outdated, do you resign your life?
