This has never happened in any of the test installs we've done. We deliberately install Flash.

Well it has now happened to 2 beta testers. I installed hulu desktop today and also got the flash error.

I am sure that flash is installed, but there is an issue in there somewhere.

can you print me the contents of your /root/.huludesktop file and the output of dpkg -s flashplugin-nonfree (assuming of course, you did not manually install it.)

missing a quote

what do you mean missing a quote
Title: Re: Hulu Desktop missing flash
Post by: l3mce on June 20, 2010, 01:33:37 pm
NM, I thought whatever followed name required quotes, and saw your end quote.

Flash in general seems problematic on latest image. I watched it install during setup... but can't watch youtube or other flash content now.
Title: Re: Hulu Desktop missing flash
Post by: Riggs on June 20, 2010, 02:02:46 pm
Flash always worked in hulu untill this recent reinstall. i don't know about firefox as the resolution for KDE apps just sucks so i never tested them. I just use it as a media center/gateway

I installed using the Snapshot from 18th June and could not watch you tube videos.  I installed flash 10 from the link on Youtube and both Youtube and Hulu now work
Title: Re: Hulu Desktop missing flash
Post by: Riggs on June 21, 2010, 07:58:20 pm
Did you mean they now work.

As i tried that before posting the thread and it did not work fore me, what commands did you use (how did you do it)
Title: Re: Hulu Desktop missing flash
Post by: lmwashere on June 21, 2010, 09:07:09 pm
Yes, installing the .deb from adobe's website works. just go to youtube and try to play a video, when it prompts you to install the plugin, use the hyperlink which takes you to adobe's website. choose the .deb file and when it is downloaded to the desktop, click it from there. That is the only way I could get it to work. Using mozilla to launch it and every other method I tried failed.
Title: Re: Hulu Desktop missing flash (Solved)
Post by: Riggs on June 21, 2010, 11:52:46 pm
 i tried using the command line but didn't work.
the way you suggested worked perfect thanks.

dpkg -i install_flash_player_10_linux.deb
rm install_flash_player_10_linux.deb

Tred, you're AWESOME!  I was having problems with flash in general and your fix worked.  I tried doing the search for the flashplugin like Riggs and had the same result.  This was my second install in 2 days and I've had problems with 710 and flash too.   Everythings good now thanks again.  Much thanks to those who put their heart into the development, its getting better and better, Thanks!
