Last days I have issues with flash content of web pages. It says that the flash plugin needs update. On the Add-ons Manager page => Plugins entry for Shockwave Flash I read:

Shockwave Flash is known to be vulnerable and should be updated. Update Now

But when I click on update link, an error page opens. I also don't find a"remove" link for Shockwave Flash. I chose"Never activate" option, restarted Iceweasel, but still can't see the flash content.

Problem again: System is updated. flashplugin-nonfree is installed.

Adobe has abandoned flash support in Linux verrsion of flashplayer years ago. Learn to live with it is what I do.
I still watch videos in flash 11.2.

If your gear supports it. Go with pepperflash. Mine does not. Because some of my gear is too old.

Thanks. I installed pepperflash but I didn't see any difference. I don't know if I should do something more to get it work. After all, I just allowed to flash 11.2 running.

What I do is use Video Download Helper and just download the video the flash is usually fronting, then watch that with mpv or something. Flash just had another major patch on Windows, so sites are trying to get people in the loop for that; there is surely an add-on that intercepts JS version whinging and feeds the version you have if you must see DRM-ish videos (which might have their own version whinging on...)

The FSF has Project Shumway if you want to work on flash emulation further. And of course we have solvers, Unicorn emulator, and other things to help wire it up for us... Though I can't help but think there's a MAME X Qubes subgenre for this sort of APT theatre stuff.

It does say Shockwave Flash is 'vulnerable and should be updated', but everyone knows it should be deprecated and/or killed in a fire. However, it still runs cool math games and bits of ABCMouse, so people with kids know to just whitelist flash on those and teach the kid to force-restart the browser and/or flash when flash locks up hard. Well-tuned antivirus (and sometimes Firefox) will get in on this. Anyone know one such for AntiX/sid?

hm. Debian sid antivirus to babysit/manage Adobe flash
nah. No luck with that yet on duck duck go...
More likely a WINE plugin, depending on whether you want to run Windows__ under lvm, VMware, etc.

Did You use the command shay suggested?

Code: Select all

 update-flashplugin-nonfree --install

I had used it, but I had got some error message that made me to think that it was not a command but something else that I should do, and I reinstalled flashplugin-nonfree from synaptic.

Now I tried again the command and it worked. I rebooted, but I can't understand if it has made any difference, because I had already chosen"allow & remember" for flash and flash was already working.

Hi. Now I have this problem. Games like

work fine, but games like

url was:"http://www.addictinggames.com/action-games/hold-the-fort-game.jsp"
linktext was:"this"
====================================
don't work at all and get the message:

Please Update Your Flash Player
Download Adobe Flash Player

If you have trouble installing the Flash Player, or need more information,
please visit the Adobe Support Center at:

Why? I need a different version? What should I do? Thanks.

I get the same. adobe has stopped updating flash for linux so newer games that use a newer flash (on windows) won't work and this is very unlikely to get fixed.

if you are running 64 bit, you *could* install google-chrome, which has its own flash maintained (for now) from adobe. Unfortunately, google discontinued google-chrome on 32 bit linux, so 32 bit users are out of luck.
