Hello guys!
I think I am pretty close to get opera 10.10 run with flash, getFlash11.
I manage to install tiny core, and opera 10 and getFlash11, but when I try to enter a site with flash nothing happens, no flash items start like at youtube.
In opera I do not see any flash plugin

Hi fredand44
I'm running the same version of Opera with Flash10 and I get the same thing. Go to
Tools->Preferences->Advanced->Downloads and see if it lists
application/x-shockwave-flash swf
Open a terminal and post the result of:
sudo find / -iname *flash* | grep -Ev '\.h|\.c|\.ko'
[EDIT]: Added grep to filter output of find command
-
what does pressing F2 and typing opera:plugins give?
-
Hello Guys!
Thanks for the replies!
F2 opera/plugins gave
application/futuresplash spl
application/x-shockwave-flash swf
/usr/local/lib/opera/plugins/libflashplayer.so
And the same under Tools->Preferences->Advanced->Downloads
I will also try the find command right away!
Will be back soon

The find command was a bit tricky to exe, stucked with a english keybaord but swedish layout.
I executed sudo find -iname *flash* and found it in a folder wmx OnDemand.
So If you guys got any more clues please let me know!
Btw The computer got a 500Mhz P3 processor and 1Gb in RAM.
It do respond pretty fast so I do not think this is a hardware issue. Or could my 16Mb video card be the case
Best regards

Hi fredand44
I think I know what the problem is. After some intense reading of the Info file for Opera10, the first line states:
WARNING: This extension no longer works with
current releases of adobe flash - 08-06-2011.
There is a thread here about it:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,7683.msg57776.html#msg57776
I mention the version of flash you need if you want to run Opera10, otherwise consider going to Opera11.
-
Not guaranteed that flash 11.2 would work with these hardware specs, independent of browser.
-
Thanks alot amigos!
Ok I will try out the combo of Opera 11 and getFlash11 as a last attempt.
But perhaps my old hardware is just to old!

Hello guys!
Hope you got some time to give me some advise!
I installed Opera 11, and re run getFlash11
In my Opera 11 I get Description: Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202
/usr/local/lib/opera/plugins/libflashplayer.so
I also set it to be enabled.
But when I enter youtube I still get not to start, just a black screen where the flash-movie is supposed to appear.
Best regards

So the plugin is both installed and detected by the browser.
- run ldd on it, to check any missing dependencies
- start opera with the plugin debug option (see the manpage)

Hello guys!
I manage to install firefox and then it worked!
Unfortunately it seems like my video card is the limit. Films at youtube just get start and stop.
Best regards
