Hello,
It appears that Adobe has updated the URL to download Flash Player 11 on or around July 13th, 2016.
Patch at: http://patches.tinycorelinux.net/uploaded/getFlash11.patch__downloadurl (http://patches.tinycorelinux.net/uploaded/getFlash11.patch__downloadurl)
Before:
$ curl -s 'https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/download/?installer=Flash_Player_11.2_for_other_Linux_(.tar.gz)_32-bit&standalone=1' | grep -o 'https://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.2.*/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz'
$
After:
$ curl -s 'https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/download/?installer=FP_11.2_for_other_Linux_32-bit_(.tar.gz)_-_NPAPI&standalone=1' | grep -o 'https://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.2.*/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz'
https://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.2.202.632/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz
$
Thank you,

Don't know if this is related, but when I just ran getFlash11 extension I got
/usr/local/bin/getFlash11.sh: line 82: file: command not found
Downloading Adobe Flash...
Error:Downloading source. Exiting.
AFAIK all my extensions are up to date.

Edit: As a workaround, I downloaded the latest Flash11 tar with browser, and then ran a modified version of coreplayer2's getFlash11.sh script with the download commands commented out. This appears to install the latest version of Flash11 -- at least Firefox doesn't block it anymore...
-
Needs file.tcz ?
-
And I thought those days were behind us.... Ok will fix

Thanks. It's a very useful extension, along with firefox_getLatest...too bad the upstream guys can't seem to stick with what already works...
-
Needs fixing once more. :p

Just wanted to belatedly thank coreplayer2 for the latest (2016-11-05) getFlash11.tcz update. Works for me!
-
You're welcome, did you try the latest getFlash v24 beta?? Flash 11 is coming to an end soon, thereafter Adobe will be keeping Flash for linux updated with latest version.
-
I installed getFlash_beta.tcz as an OnDemand extension. As suggested I first deleted Flash11.tcz (as well as getFlash11.tcz).
When I selected getFlash_beta from the OnDemand menu, there was a brief window flicker but no other obvious activity. I opened a terminal and typed getFlash_beta at the prompt, and then got several aterm messages:
aterm: bad option "Setup,"
aterm: bad option "and"
aterm: bad option "Create"
aterm: bad option "flash_beta.tcz"
Then an aterm usage message.
I think I'm missing a step someplace...
-
Do you have aterm installed?
I sent an update if run from the ondemand menu should be in repo this weekend or next..

This is obviously how things should look, but I didn't include aterm as a dep in an attempt to use any other installed terminal..

aterm: bad option "and"
aterm: bad option "Create"
aterm: bad option "flash_beta.tcz"
Then an aterm usage message.
Seems that at least the -title option passed to xterm lost its quotes somewhere.
Depending on the installed terminal,
cat $(readlink $(which xterm))
should output something similar to
aterm "$@"
If $@ is not quoted, it needs fixing.
/etc/sysconfig/tcedir/ondemand/getFlash_beta
ondemand -e getFlash_beta.tcz "$@"
If $@ is not quoted, it needs fixing by simply recreating the On-Demand entry.
Before 7.2, new ondemand scripts were not created properly with quoted $@ .
-
Just tried getFlash_beta.tcz from On-Demand menu.
Works here, except that getFlash_beta.sh runs twice.
Once issued by the extension's startup script and once by ondemand via *.desktop file, which coreplayer2 knows about. :p
-
aterm is listed as an installed app in my TC setup.
-
Thane, I assume it's the 32 bit version which is the problem?

Yes, thanks

Has the latest version resolved the issue?

Sorry coreplayer2, I've had to deal with some other things. I'll work on this tomorrow. Thanks.

Lots of Flash weirdness...
Updated my .dep files (don't) which appears to have broken getFlash11.tcz.
Unpacked the getFlash_beta.tar.gz file and copied the .tcz and md5.txt files to Optional. Selecting the app from the OnDemand menu seemed to do nothing. Running it from a terminal also seemed to do nothing, not even generating the aterm messages I saw before. The tar also had a getFlash11.tcz.dep file which I tried omitting, tried putting in Optional as is, and tried putting in Optional after renaming to getFlash_beta.tcz.dep, none of which made any difference.
However (even weirder) before I broke getFlash11 sometimes the getFlash_beta script would run if I ran getFlash11 first. Totally confusing. My guess is something messed up in my .dep files someplace, so I'm probably not getting reliable results.
-
That is weird..
Try this, copy the extracted
getFlash_beta.tcz
getFlash_beta.tcz.dep
getFlash_beta.tcz.md5.txt
to .../tce/optional
then
tce-load -i getFlash_beta
the script should run and install flash v24.xxx
what error message do you see when " getFlash_beta.sh " is run from the terminal?
(note: the script is named "getFlash_beta.sh")
-
getFlash11 is broken and depreciated in favor of two new extensions,
getFlash.tcz &
getFlash_beta.tcz
both currently creating Flash version 24+ extensions
