Linux
These "How tos" are more a personal record of how I got something to
work, but because they might be usefull for others, I wrote them down
here.
- Get a manually installed FireFox 32-Bit on a 64-Bit Linux using the packaged flash player
- How to display the CPU temperature(s)
If possible I like to use programs in their original form and so on
my
64-Bit Kubuntu I wanted to use the original FireFox build. Because the
flash support is a little buggy in the 64-Bit build I decided to use
the 'normal' 32-Bit build. But somehow I always got an outdated version
from the Adobe site. So I thought the easiest way would be to use the
flash player version which gets used by the FireFox from the repository.
On my system the flash player plugin gets installed to
'/usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so'. So I simply created
a symlink from the plugin directory of the manually installed fire fox
to the installed location i.e.
> cd firefox_installation_directory/plugins
> ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
A quick look at 'http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/' confirmed that I now have the correct version installed.
