| Nomad_ | Anyone have Flash (pepperlash even) in 19.10 ? | 18:36 |
|---|---|---|
| lotuspsychje | Nomad_: whats your real question please | 18:37 |
| Nomad_ | Figured I'd start withthat, I have been looking for 2 days, can't find anyone who's gotten it workign since 18.10 and the 18.10 instructions aren't working. I've downloaded the peperflash from adobe and specified it on the command line, installed it from the repo. Used chrome, chromium and firefox, none of them will 'run'. They all detect something is there, it doesn't prompt me to install the plugin, | 18:40 |
| Nomad_ | but won't display the content. | 18:40 |
| lotuspsychje | Nomad_: did you install the flash versions from the official repos? | 18:41 |
| lotuspsychje | like apt-cache search flash | 18:41 |
| Nomad_ | I've done that, I've installed the ppa and I've downloaded the .so library from adobe.com | 18:41 |
| lotuspsychje | Nomad_: we dont support external ppa's | 18:42 |
| Nomad_ | ok, that was 1 of the three options I found and tried. none of the 3 worked | 18:42 |
| lotuspsychje | Nomad_: you can try flashplugin, pepperflash or freshplayer from the repos to play with | 18:44 |
| tomreyn | Nomad_: maybe the right question to start with should really be: what do you need it for? | 19:58 |
| tomreyn | all the relevant websites which used to depend on flash that i know of no longer do so. | 19:59 |
| Nomad_ | tomreyn: Was waiting on someone to ask that. Applying for a job and the company requires all applicants to do 2 tests, one personality one aptitude. They're in a flash site. There is no alternative and I do want the job | 21:27 |
| tomreyn | Nomad_: maybe this is the personality test? | 21:28 |
| tomreyn | (will they contact us to tell us how much our HR process sucks because it depends on provenly insecure stone age technology, and will try try to convey it in an acceptably phrased words?) | 21:30 |
| tomreyn | this would make a good test if it was a technology company. | 21:30 |
| tomreyn | other than that you always have the option of contacting their HR dptment and askng for an alternative, and telling them this is making them not look too great. | 21:31 |
| tomreyn | another option might be to set up a VM with an insecure software configuration where flash will then 'work'. | 21:33 |
| Nomad_ | tomreyn: it's both | 22:05 |
