Hi again! Yes , I actually had to sleep.. x)
Neus, if flash is not working, then there is likely something going wrong during the install. Are you able to run the installer from the command line as root? When you run the flash installer, is it giving directions and asking for path etc? You need to tell us about any problems or errors it is giving you along the way, so we can know how to correct it. Tell me how far you get with the flash installer, and if everything is going as it should. That will help me figure out how I can help you.

What the konsole says during install of flash

So it should be working right??? WRONG... geez.. this is annoying...
 
By the way, do u have a aMSN or sumtin? would make talking alot faster.... and goodmorning .. night here.. but who cares?

In Mozilla, go to "help" in the top toolbar and click on "about pluggins." A page should then come up telling you which plugins are installed. Look at the bottom of the page. Does it say, "application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash" is enabled?

nope, heres the whole page

So.. i dont see any plugins loading in... but they show?? gahhh

Umm, seems you're not the only one with this problem. Read all of these threads...
http://www.mail-archive.com/expert@linux-mandrake.com/msg79915.html

.... so what should i do???? ;(

Switch to RH 9 like I did..
 
Seriously, we should now go to the command line and do as root:
 
urpmi FlashPlayer-6.0-3mdk.i586.rpm
 
and see what happens..

It appears from those other posts he may have downloaded
FlashPlayer-6.0-3mdk.i586.rpm
first and then did urpmi.
 
I'm not really sure how you urpmi something that has already been downloaded. Can another senior MDK 9.2 user here assist?

Im installing the opera browser, and seein if that works

Good move.

or not... it doesnt seem to register the plugins i think.... i just tried the flash 1...

I've got Mdk 9 on two computers at work and have to go there in about an hour. I'll fool around with urpmi and flash when I get there and tell you what I find out..

thx... well, im goin to bed early .. yeh.. 12:44.. lol... nyways, ttyl..

My Mdk 9.0 box at work did not have flash installed, and I had flash working in about 5 minutes this way. Let's hope it works as well for 9.2 *crossing fingers*
 
Download flash-plugin rpm for Mdk 9.2.
 
Pull up konqueror, (or nautilus) and go to where you downloaded it. Double click on the flash-plugin rpm package and it should install. Let me know if it complains about any dependencies, (it didn't in Mdk 9.0).
 
If not, try mozilla out..

thx, it shows the plugin as installed now... now just to get java up n running well, at least we r making progress

ok, how can delete all the old java files and start over with installing java? maybe that'll get it to work...

Quote:thx, it shows the plugin as installed now... now just to get java up n running well, at least we r making progress But is it working?

yeh, i tested it at multiple sites
the 1 u gave, homstarrunner.com, etc...
 
all i need is java to work now

Neus, this is how I got java plugins to work for me in RH 9. I suppose you've guessed by now, that as we experienced today, things are often not the same between distros. This *should* work for you with Mdk 9.2 but we won't know until we try..
 
Download NetBeans IDE v 3.5.1 with J2SE v 1.4.2 COBUNDLE "Linux (.bin)" from here.
 
Open a terminal and "cd" to the directory where you downloaded it, then, as root, type:
 
./j2sdk-1_4_2-nb-3_5_1-bin-linux.bin [enter]
 
Follw the instructions for installation.
 
After you have done the java install, you must now tell mozilla where the proper plugin is by creating a symlink between your .mozilla/plugins directory and the corosponding plugin in the java file. make sure you have a file named "plugins" (without quotes) in your .mozilla directory. If not, create one.
 
You can do the following from the command line, but here's an easy way to create the symlink you need. Bring up two instances of konqueror on your desktop and place them side by side. In one go to:
 
/opt/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610
 
In the other, go to:
 
/home/whatever your home directory is called/.mozilla/plugins
 
You will see the plugin in the java diectory called libjavaplugin_oji.so
 
Now, click and drag it to your /home/whatever your home directory is called/.mozilla/plugins
directory and release it. A box will come up giving you a choice of : copy here, move here, link here, cancel. Click on "link here."
 
Done!
