[02:40] <dgeorge> there u go
[02:40] <jrib> what does this return: ls ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[02:42] <dgeorge> ls: /home/dgeorge/.mozilla/plugins: No such file or directory
[02:42] <jrib> ok
[02:43] <jrib> close all firefox windows again and do this:  mv ~/.mozilla/pluginreg.dat ~/.mozilla/pluginreg.dat.backup
[02:44] <dgeorge> what directory should i be in
[02:44] <jrib> doesn't matter
[02:44] <dgeorge> thats not working
[02:44] <jrib> tell me more
[02:44] <dgeorge> mv: cannot stat `/home/dgeorge/.mozilla/pluginreg.dat': No such file or directory
[02:45] <jrib> uh huh
[02:45] <jrib> that's kind of strange
[02:46] <dgeorge> ok why
[02:46] <jrib> because that file is supposed to be created
[02:46] <dgeorge> how can i check for that file
[02:46] <jrib> you just did
[02:47] <jrib> what does this return: ls -ld ~/.mozilla
[02:47] <dgeorge> drwx------ 3 dgeorge dgeorge 4096 2007-08-02 09:04 /home/dgeorge/.mozilla
[02:47] <jrib> ah I see what I did
[02:47] <jrib> close all firefox windows again and do this:  mv ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat.backup
[02:48] <dgeorge> ok that worked
[02:48] <jrib> alright
[02:48] <jrib> start firefox again and visit that macromedia page again
[02:49] <dgeorge> checking now
[02:50] <dgeorge> version information still blank
[02:50] <jrib> pastebin what you see when you visit "about:plugins" in your browser
[02:50] <dgeorge> do you want to see the entire page or
[02:50] <jrib> sure
[02:52] <dgeorge> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34360/
[02:52] <jrib> ah
[02:52] <jrib> libflash-mozplugin.so
[02:53] <jrib> do "locate libflash-mozplugin.so"
[02:53] <dgeorge> getting a syntax error there
[02:53] <jrib> paste what you typed
[02:54] <jrib> and the output
[02:54] <dgeorge> ok i found it
[02:54] <jrib> where?
[02:54] <dgeorge> /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflash-mozplugin.so
[02:54] <dgeorge> /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflash-mozplugin.so
[02:54] <jrib> ok
[02:54] <jrib> do: dpkg -S /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflash-mozplugin.so
[02:55] <dgeorge> permission denied
[02:55] <dgeorge> sudo?
[02:55] <dgeorge> or
[02:55] <jrib> you shouldn't need sudo
[02:55] <dgeorge> permission denied
[02:55] <jrib> ok, sudo then but be sure you haven't made a typo
[02:56] <jrib> lets see who is faster, you or ubotu :)
[02:56] <jrib> !find libflash-mozplugin.so
[02:56] <ubotu> File libflash-mozplugin.so found in libflash-mozplugin
[02:56] <jrib> ubotu wins
[02:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wins - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:56] <dgeorge> command not found
[02:56] <jrib> ok, ubotu told us where it came from anyway so it's ok
[02:57] <dgeorge> no found
[02:57] <jrib> Here's what I think is happening.  libflash-mozplugin.so is overriding libflashplayer.so, so we are going to remove libflash-mozplugin.so
[02:57] <dgeorge> cool lets do it
[02:57] <jrib> do this: sudo aptitude remove libflash-mozplugin
[02:58] <dgeorge> ok i have done that
[02:58] <dgeorge> how di i know its removed
[02:59] <jrib> it will tell you if it fails
[02:59] <jrib> restart firefox and try the macromedia page again
[02:59] <dgeorge> i didn''t
[03:00] <dgeorge> now it says click here to download plugin
[03:00] <jrib> erm
[03:01] <jrib> ls /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/  returns what now?
[03:01] <dgeorge> flashplayer.xpt    libjavaplugin_oji.so   libvlcplugin.so  nphelix.xpt
[03:01] <dgeorge> libflashplayer.so  libunixprintplugin.so  nphelix.so
[03:02] <jrib> and "about:plugins"?
[03:02] <dgeorge> flash not listed
[03:03] <jrib> close firefox, sudo aptitude purge flashplugin-nonfree, start firefox, close firefox, sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree, start firefox
[03:04] <dgeorge> Download done.
[03:04] <dgeorge> md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[03:04] <dgeorge> The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
[03:05] <dgeorge> that is what i got at the end of the download install
[03:05] <jrib> do you have backports enabled?
[03:05] <dgeorge> yes
[03:05] <dgeorge> i can double check if you like
[03:06] <dgeorge> how would i do that
[03:06] <jrib> what does this return: apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree
[03:07] <dgeorge> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34362/
[03:07] <jrib> k, enable the proposed repo and see if you have a version available to you on dapper
[03:08] <dgeorge> im sorry i don;t know what that means
[03:08] <jrib> pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:09] <dgeorge> how do i bring that up
[03:09] <jrib> gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:10] <dgeorge> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34363/
[03:10] <jrib> bug 125131
[03:10] <jrib> btw
[03:10] <dgeorge> what does that mean
[03:11] <jrib> it's the bug that is causing your error
[03:11] <jrib> add this line to your sources.list:
[03:11] <dgeorge> oh really
[03:11] <jrib> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-proposed universe main restricted multiverse
[03:12] <jrib> you may get prompted to install updates while we do this, don't install any
[03:12] <dgeorge> ok i have added it
[03:12] <dgeorge> not prompted for any updates
[03:12] <jrib> now save and close the file
[03:12] <dgeorge> done
[03:12] <jrib> then run:  sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree
[03:13] <dgeorge> ok done
[03:13] <dgeorge> no errors
[03:14] <jrib> output at the end?
[03:14] <jrib> what does this return: apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree
[03:14] <dgeorge> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34364/
[03:15] <jrib> k, it hasn't been put into dapper then, we'll install it manually.  But first lets remove -proposed
[03:15] <jrib> do 'gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list ' and remove the line we added.  Then save and close and run 'sudo apt-get update'
[03:16] <dgeorge> ok
[03:17] <dgeorge> updating now...
[03:17] <dgeorge> update done
[03:17] <jrib> k
[03:17] <jrib> now: cd && wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[03:18] <dgeorge> download it manually to desktop"?
[03:18] <dgeorge> i have open with... screen now
[03:18] <jrib> well that puts it in your HOMe
[03:18] <dgeorge> open with archive manger
[03:19] <jrib> tar xf install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[03:19] <jrib> close the archive manager
[03:19] <dgeorge> what do i type in the terminal
[03:20] <jrib> this: tar xf install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[03:20] <dgeorge> didn't work
[03:20] <jrib> instead of saying "didn't work" just say the error
[03:20] <dgeorge> tar: install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directorytar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[03:21] <jrib> where did you download that tar.gz to?
[03:21] <jrib> desktop?
[03:22] <dgeorge> yes
[03:23] <jrib> then do this first: cd ~/Desktop
[03:23] <jrib> then this: tar xf install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[03:23] <dgeorge> ok
[03:24] <dgeorge> ok that worked nor error
[03:24] <jrib> ok
[03:24] <jrib> run this to get rid of the failed package install: sudo aptitude purge flashplugin-nonfree
[03:25] <jrib> then do: cd install_flash_player_9_linux && ./flashplayer-installer
[03:26] <dgeorge> ok i have an installer in the termial now
[03:26] <jrib> k, follow the directions
[03:26] <dgeorge> /home/dgeorge/.mozilla should be the install directory correct
[03:26] <jrib> yes
[03:27] <dgeorge> ok its complete
[03:27] <dgeorge> how what
[03:27] <jrib> now close all firefox windows and open it again
[03:27] <dgeorge> i have a folder on the desktop now called install flash player 9 linux
[03:27] <jrib> is flash working?
[03:28] <dgeorge> ok i have the "adobe flash is installed message man
[03:28] <dgeorge> weeeeee
[03:28] <dgeorge> what do i do with the folder
[03:28] <jrib> you can delete it
[03:28] <jrib> and the tar.gz too
[03:30] <dgeorge> testing cnn now
[03:31] <dgeorge> cnn working now... awesome man, thanks .. what was the problem there
[03:32] <jrib> well originally, the other package was blocking adobe's flash
[03:32] <jrib> and then when we tried to install adobe's flash after removing the gpl flash we came across a bug
[03:33] <dgeorge> what was the bug
[03:33] <jrib> basically, the package tries to do what we did manually but it checks that the file is the right file when it downlaods it.  That causes problems when adobe releases a new minor version of the plugin and the package doesn't know about it
[03:34] <dgeorge> cool was there anything that i did wrong
[03:34] <jrib> nope
[03:35] <jrib> in feisty you can just visit a page and a popup appears to install the plugin so it's a bit easier now :)
[03:35] <dgeorge> cool I will have to install feisty when i have time
