Adobe AIR

Pengen install tweetdeck, tapi untuk download saja ternyata (homepagenya) perlu flashplugin terbaru. So, here's the clue:

1. Download flash plugin dari adobe, atau run


2. $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree. Permasalahan di Debian Lenny 5.0.3 karena libnspr4-dev dan libnss3-dev belum ada. Jadi, bisa install dulu keduanya dengan


3. $ sudo apt-get install libnspr4-dev libnss3-dev


4. Mungkin perlu juga $ sudo apt-get -f install, bergantung urutan yang dikerjakan. Kebalik-balik nggak pa-pa.


5. Restart mozilla firefox atau iceweasel

Masuk ke www.tweetdeck.com, download tweetdeck, ia akan install (juga Adobe Air).

Epiphany-browser

Ada browser that's meant to be fast light but in the end, I can't load some pages or it turns too slow to upload.

Well, that's a short brief and straight to the point review on epiphany-browser on Debian Lenny.

Flashplugin-nonfree di Debian Lenny

When doing

$sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

in Lenny, it will return:

Package flashplugin-nonfree is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package flashplugin-nonfree has no installation candidate

That's because Lenny (stable) don't list the package anymore. Detailed policy here says the package go to testing. Below is the summary taken from the site.

The decision made on 2007-12-21 is, starting with Lenny, that
flashplugin-nonfree is to be maintained in "unstable" for users of
"unstable" and "testing", and is to be maintained at "backports.org" for
users of "stable".

I think that's because Debian concern alot on the term GNU/Linux.

Comprehending the policy, the package can be installed via adding backport repository into /etc/apt/source.list. Add the line below into the file:

deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get -t lenny-backports install flashplugin-nonfree

Detailed instruction can be found in backports site here.

adobe flash player

masang adobe flash player di redhat/fedora/scientific linux dan mestinya juga di centos:
1. masuk ke http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, download yang yum
2. double click hasil download
3. buka applications -> add/remove software
4. search flash
5. put a check mark
6. apply
7. Jangan lupa restart mozilla (tutup lalu buka lagi)

Epiphany proxy

Laptop yang mondar-mandir dari rumah yang proxyless ke kantor yg proxyful :) epiphany-nya jadi nggak jalan. Untuk mengubah system-wide (gnome dan xfce) proxy, bisa manggil program yang berjudul gnome-network-preferences dari terminal.

Informasi selengkapnya ada di FAQ Epihany.

Changing proxy settings

Epiphany uses the GNOME default proxies. They can be modified (session wide) by using gnome-network-preferences. The corresponding gconf keys are /system/http_proxy/host, /system/http_proxy/port, /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy and /system/proxy/mode (set to manual).

flash player

There are two directory that are possible in

1.
http://dilettante.wordpress.com/2007/04/24/etch-from-scratch-installing-flash-player/
- .mozilla/firefox/userprofile and
- /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins
Mine accepted by excluding ./plugins directory

Hi all,

Flash Player 9 for Linux came out of beta yesterday. I had a little hiccup
installing it on my Etch box, so I thought I'd share my solution to spare
you the hiccup. I use Firefox version 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.7-2.

The installer will ask "Please enter the installation path...", and when
you enter the correct path, /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox, it will complain:

WARNING: Please enter a valid installation path.

This is because it is looking for /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/components,
which does not exist (and which Flash does not apparently need). You can:

1. Create the directory. The installer will be happy.

or

2. Skip the (lame) installer and copy libflashplayer.so to
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins yourself. (I haven't tried this.)

Good luck,

Reid
