[Bug 195422] Re: hardy heron 8.04 alpha 5 - flash not installed correctly

[Porcelain Mouse]

I'm not sure if this "bug" is still affecting Hardy Heron 8.04 with
Firefox 3.0.  I just wanted to mention that Steve Langasek's post led me
to a solution to my problem.  My symptoms were similar, but I didn't
think creating a link was a good idea.  I had a "conflict" with Gnash,
which was the preferred SFW player.  The Adobe player was correctly
installed.

$ update-alternatives --display xulrunner-addons-flashplugin
xulrunner-addons-flashplugin - status is auto.
 link currently points to /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
/usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so - priority 50
/var/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so - priority 50
Current `best' version is /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so.

As soon as I removed Gnash, the non-free player was selected as the
'best'.

$ update-alternatives --display xulrunner-addons-flashplugin
xulrunner-addons-flashplugin - status is auto.
 link currently points to /var/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
/var/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so - priority 50
Current `best' version is /var/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so.

Thanks Steve.
