Display flash content [solved]

[Member andfree]

Hi. When I use other computers with antix 16 or 15 upgraded and I visit pages that include flash content, there is an “allow and remember” or “allow for now” choice, and then the flash content is displayed. When I use my laptop with antix 15 upgraded, I don’t have this choice, but only a message saying “a plugin is needed to display this content”. What I should do for this? Thanks.

You probably have to install the “adobe-flashplugin” on your antix 15 laptop.

Mine for example on AntiX 15

Shockwave Flash

File: libflashplayer.so
Path: /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
Version: 27.0.0.130
State: Enabled (STATE_VULNERABLE_UPDATE_AVAILABLE)
Shockwave Flash 27.0 r0

I usually update mine manually But there is video D.O. Probably has on updating flash . I am not sweating the Vulnerable readout on mine.

Edit: After my manual update

Shockwave Flash

File: libflashplayer.so
Path: /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
Version: 27.0.0.183
State: Enabled
Shockwave Flash 27.0 r0

If interested in how I manually update:

That was the case. Sorry for asking something so simple.

Before the installation, nothing. After the installation, this:

Shockwave Flash

    File: libflashplayer.so
    Path: /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
    Version: 27.0.0.183
    State: Enabled
    Shockwave Flash 27.0 r0

Thanks for the replies.
