Title: getFlash11 in 6.0 doesn't work
Post by: thane on January 07, 2015, 12:28:17 AM

In TC 6.0, I tried starting getFlash11 from the menu (ondemand) with apparently no result. When I started it from a terminal, it failed with the message "/usr/bin/ondemand: line 46: can't fork". In both instances a large number of processes were generated. I tried deleting and downloading it again. There were no error messages for the download, but same results when trying to run.

getFlash11 worked OK in TC 5.4 as of December 14. Flash itself still works in 6.0 without update.

getFlash11 works great in tc5.x and tc6 

From tc6

Used via OnBoot, or loaded manually getFlash works 100%

AFAIK getFlash11 has never operated from the "OnDemand" menu,  applies to tc6 as it did in tc5.4.
but I'll take a look to see what it would take to function using the OnDemand menu

OK, using your manual load command it works. Dunno, I must have been mistyping something...thanks.
