I just did an upgrade and it gave me a new kernel and two libs. I don't remember the names of the libs but the kernel was 2.6.24-28-386. Unfortunately now some browsers don't work properly. In particular I would like to get flash back.
I am running Kubuntu 8.04 and the Firefox is version 3.6.6. This machine has been working properly for several years now, so all the correct software should be there. I checked for adobe-flashplugin and flashplugin-nonfree and they were still there. However just to make sure, I updated and did the following:
"sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin" -> says "no installation candidate"
"sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" -> says "already the newest version
Also, in desperation:
"sudo apt-get install gnash" -> worked
"sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jre" -> worked
Still, opening Firefox to a page wanting flash -> displays "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed"
Clicking on something wanting flash in Epiphany, causes the whole browser to immediately crash.
Any other suggestions?
Edit: I went to the Adobe site and got a .deb from there and:
"sudo dpkg -i install_flash_player_10_linux.deb"
That made no difference to either browser. BTW: FF gives me that "oops - we can't recover" greeting.
