#155828 — adobe flash player in iceweasel does not work anymore in jessie

Hi

I have upgraded from Wheezy to Jessie and my Adobe Flash Player in
Iceweasel stopped working:

$ iceweasel

(process:6255): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion
'sys_page_size == 0' failed

###!!! [Parent][MessageChannel::Call] Error: Channel timeout: cannot
send/recv

$

When on Wheezy, I installed it manually by just copying
libflashplayer.so to .mozilla/plugins .
It doesn't work anymore, why?

Thanks!

I prefer to avoid non-free, therefore I created a separate user for
libflashplayer.so which I downloaded from adobe.com. The page:
http://www.adobe.com/uk/software/flash/about/ shows that I am having the
latest version installed (11.2.202.491).

Hi,

Likely the upgrade broke your manual installation. You should install the flashplugin-nonfree package from non-free repo. Anyway be careful, you probably will need to enable manually when needed in Iceweasel, as it is disabled by default due to various security problems. Maybe they are now fixed but it was this before I remove it. To upgrade the plugin, issue: update-flashplugin-nonfree --install

This is not just an upgrade problem, because on fresh Jessie simply
copying libflashplayer.so to .mozilla/plugins doesn't work either.

Why?

Installing 'flashplayer-mozilla' that is in Debian main will solve the 
flash problem.

I tried this from the man page:

apt-cache show --all-names flashplayer-mozilla

but got this as output:
E: Command line option --all-names is not understood

seems like the man page is out of sync. 

Is there another way of seeing the info about flashplayer-mozilla?

This statement is factually incorrect, as no package of that name exists 
in jessie main.

A package of that name *does* exist in the deb-multimedia repositories.

Ah!  That *may* be my answer.  I'll have to check.  Thanks.

Immediately on reading this I installed flashplayer-mozilla on the computer I 
was working on - my desktop - which is running Wheezy and TDE 3.5.13.2.  It 
installed successfully and I have used it.

Yesterday I went to install it on the computer attached to the TV, running 
Jessie and TDE 14.0.2, and it failed "no candidate version found for 
flashplayer-mozilla" and I can't find it in the package lists on debian.org.  
But a search of the package lists also says that it isn't available in 
wheezy.
https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=wheezy&arch=any&mode=path&searchon=names&keywords=flashplayer-mozilla

I have, however, just installed it on my husband's wheezy desktop, apparently 
totally successfully.  Unfortunately it doesn't fully work - it won't, at the 
moment, run 4oD.  It may be a question of the version of Iceweasel, so I 
shall have to investigate.

But: why will it install in wheezy, but not in Jessie - and yet it is listed 
in neither. :-/

Methinks you have deb-multimedia configured somehow in your sources.

I suspect something else is going on. I also am running Wheezy and have
this line in sources.list:

  deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org wheezy main non-free

I do an aptitude update and upgrade, and when I do:

  # aptitude install flashplayer-mozilla

I get:

  No candidate version found for flashplayer-mozilla

Trouble shooting with a shotgun here... suppose you add "contrib" to 
that line and try again?? Ric

p/s I do have flashplugin-nonfree installed instead.

I agree about the shotgun bit, or consider it more like "perfecting your
swimming in a shark tank."

I got libdvdcss2 from there, although I probably don't it now as I can't
remember the last time I actually watched a DVD on my computer.

Thanks, but no good. Produces 404 error. I found the problem and was
able to install the app.
