The bottom line is that flash for Linux is no longer supported beyond what you already have installed. It's a pain in the asphalt but you will just have to muddle through with what's available. I watched a flash video just a few minutes ago and I had to tell Firefox to use what it already had. It just doesn't seem to remember from start to the next start that you want it to use what flash plugin it has installed. There is no fix. There will be no fix. [ unless someone can crack flash and write a whole new plugin from scratch. ] At some point you may never be able to watch a flash video again in Linux. We will just have to learn to live without it.
Flash is dead. Is was a pain since it appeared, like most closed-source software is a pain and will be even more in future, because it's goal is not to serve the user but the selling, controlling, data-stealing organization behind it. As for now we still do have a "secure" lash plugin on linux. If this wouldn't work anymore in future there is big brothers chrome with it's own implementation (I guess sucking even more data, but letting it run under an otherwise empty and moreorless rights-less user just for those dinosaur pages that wouldn't work in a better browser will do it) I'm pretty sure that there will be no more need for flash plugins quite soon. html5 is so much better. and free. -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona http://www.daniel-bauer.com room in Barcelona: https://www.airbnb.es/rooms/2416137 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
