how just were the magic words for updating this?

[devil]

update-flashplugin-nonfree --install

[mylo]

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 Auswählen Erweitern


#!/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

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.

for chromium users: in case you did not know, you also can and maybe should prefer the pepperflashplugin-nonfree

[devil]

...which is the builtin solution that Chrome (not Chromium) ships.

               Chrome (Pepper-basierter Flash Player)   14.0.0.125

[dibl]

# 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 Auswählen Erweitern

apt-get update && apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree

Code Auswählen Erweitern

# 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

chromium and update pepperflashplugin-nonfree
code: update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install

works fine
test:

and ok

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

Code Auswählen Erweitern

# update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --unverified -i

# update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree -s
