[opensuse] problem with viewing videos
I am still using 11.0. For some reason, upgrades don't work on this box. Another problem for another day. Anyway I upgraded firefox from 3.5 which was in the repo to 16.0.2. I did it from their site, not a suse rpm, because there is none for 11.0 anymore. I installed firefox at /usr/bin/firefox /usr/lib/firefox /usr/bin/X11/firefox Then I could not see videos. It told me to upgrade flash so I did, from the site given in the error message. It is installed at /usr/bin/flashplayer /usr/bin/X11/flashplayer and /usr/lib/flash-plugin KDE is 3.5.9 I still get the message that I need to upgrade flash and of course, can't see any video such as youtube. Video has been a problem. Firefox has shown them more consistently than Konqi. I may have conflicting or mixed up plugins and I really don't have all the codecs I should. How can I straighten all this out so I can see youtube etc?

First, be more considerate of others and provide links to your volumous uploads so they do not have to pay for *your* information. Second, dl a "live-cd" and see if your computer will handle later distro versions. If so, upgrade your distro. If not, you have problems which might require reinstalling 11.0 from the unsupported archives. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Please do not send files on the list. Instead, upload them to suse paste, and put a link here. This email of yours weight shalf a megabyte. As you posted to two lists, it weights double, 1 megabyte. I have an internet connection limited to 500 megabytes/month, so your inconsideration has costed me dearly. :-/ 11.0 is outdated and has no updates, period. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
