[opensuse] SUSE 8.2 vs. flashplayer v7.0.68
Hi, The flashplayer 7.0.68 doesn't work under Konqueror on SUSE 8.2, other browsers can use its plugin. My mom uses 100% Konqueror for her surfing and she would need flashplayer. I wouldn't like to provide her outdated releases, maybe could convince her to change to mozil- la or preferably to an updated opera. Do you have an idea please, how I could figure out, what Konqui's problem is with that "new" flashpl release? Maybe a simply font issue, and either the original web-install nor the source rpm- "rebuilt" flashplayer worked...

8.2 is outdated, there are no more security patches. Even 9.2 is outdated. You should update to openSuSE 10.2 which is available for free and provides flash7 and. If you need it, flash9 beta works on 10.2 too. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thank you; updating 8.2 is not an option on her p2-300 (from '98) / 256Mb / dial-up... When SUSE 10.0 came out, I tried it almost immediately and to be honest, there was simply no way to work with KDE's extreme slow speed. In contrast 8.2's KDE is surprisingly responsive, so most likely mom will get Opera 9.x and her SUSE 8.2 will be kept as long it runs (=hopefully still few/several years). KDE is also a fix point :( Pelibali Ps. Another unresolved problem with 10.0 was the poor Iomega-ZIP (FAT) write speed, which would render her main backup media to the useless category. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Dunno how tough it is to find good used stuff over where you are, but eBay has PII & PIII CPU's 400MHz up to around 850 MHz for the boards that came new with chips like hers, for as little as $10 up to maybe $50. A 500 or 600 MHz chip replacement for ~$30 will take up all the slack between 8.2 & 10.x. Note that a PIII requires a different cooler configuration than a PII. Another 256M of RAM wouldn't hurt either, even at 300 MHz. -- "Let your conversation be always full of grace." Colossians 4:6 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
