Trying out Slimjet browser as mentioned elsewhere by  Bugfree.
Can't see to get pepperflash nonfree 32 bit installed - No BBC Iplayer function.
Any ideas - is pepperflashfree dead now with Chrome 32bit?

Looking in Synaptic for slimjet  properties - installed files
/opt/slimjet/PepperFlash
/opt/slimjet/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
/opt/slimjet/PepperFlash/manifest.json
are present.
But under slimjet://plugins  pepperFlash does not appear??
what am I missing? Tks

All I see is
[table][tr][td][table][tr][td][color=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Adobe Flash Player - Version: 21.0.0.197Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0[/color][/td][/tr][/table][/td][/tr][/table]
Which are disabled.

UPDATE

[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]• quote="flashpeak" There is actually one catch about 32-bit linux. We wouldn't be able to continue provide flash updates to the 32-bit version of Slimjet for linux. Originally, we just grabbed it from the Chrome package. After Chrome dropped 32-bit linux support, we will have no source of flash updates for linux. Sorry, guys.[/color]

Hello,

I have an EeePC Asus 1001 Netbook with a Spanish keyboard. I cannot get the keyboard to work properly. The keyboard has a number pad that works with the Fn key. There are letters under the numbers. I cannot get the letters to work only numbers appear.

In the Lite config there is no Asus keyboard but there is an EeePC keyboard. This does not work.

I was running Mint on this Netbook but like Lite.

Please help.


Allan

I got this message twice this morning, when I tried to post a reply on 'other' under the forums software section:

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Have just installed LL 2.8 32 bit on an old Dell Dimension 3000.

O/S running great but cannot get flash to work in Chromium.

Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling chromium adding pepperflash in synaptic.

Still no joy.

Any ideas....?.

Apparently, download sites for Adobe Flashplayer are a target by 'malware merchants', and the 'buggy Flashplayer' that results is not detected by conventional antivirus software or other anti-malware. 

Therefore, should I avoid Flashplayer in Linux and use HTML5 instead or are Linux users relatively immune to the 'buggy Flashplayer'? 

If I should set HTML5 as the default player, could you give me a few pointers on how I should go about this for Linux Lite?

Many thanks for your continued support.
Regards
Mike

I'm so sorry if this is in the wrong forum, hella lost to be honest haha.

Okay. So here's the scenario, a bit of a long one.
For two days I have struggled to get my father's fubar'd laptop running. Something nuked the hard drive and made it unusable.
I've been running off of various thumb drives containing Linux (most notably Puppy tbh) for about seven years, it was a piece of cake. I made a live USB for him to try Lite, he liked it, I went to install it on the thumb drive. Apparently in the way that Lite partitions things, it only gave him 6gb to work with and most of it was used up by OS. There were about 349834983 issues and in the end, I just took the live DVD I burned and a new, fresh 32gb drive to install it onto on my own PC as compared to his laptop.
This time, unlike the other installs, I had no errors. No bootloader issues like I had previously encountered, it was perfect.
I gave it to my dad to try on his laptop, which has FAR better hardware than my terrible PC (3ghz processor and 8gb ram iirc, compared to my 2ghz and 6gb ram), and it's oddly sluggish. The other three installs (live USB, live CD and the semi-working thumb drive that only had a little space to work with) were relatively fast, but this one is a little slow. It locks up if I try to load programs, or takes a few seconds to load them. Dad said it's fine so it's no rush, I'm just wondering if I can fix this and if so, how? please don't say another install im crying im pleading im begging the install screen is something im gonna see in my nightmares at this rate

I write this from my Windows 7 laptop as my desktop that has both Linux Lite and Linux Mint 17 has now become so slow over the past week that its almost unusable - and both systems are affected (or should I say, infected?).  Like most people, I thought I didn't have to worry about viruses and Trojans with Linux - but I see from these recent postings that a very nasty Trojan virus out of Russia is affecting Linux systems everywhere. 

Those reading this may wonder why do I suspect I might have Fisbis?  Well, the most obvious is the very sudden slow down in both Linux Lite and Linux Mint over the past week or so and all three browsers (firefox, midori, and tor) are constantly crashing even though I have only an ad-blocker add-on.  My computer is behaving like it has a virus or some type of malware - and I think it might be Fisbis. 

So how did I get Fisbis?  Well, on Feb 11, 2016, an article came out extolling the features of the free email service called Yandex - that comes out of, you guessed it, Russia.  (On Feb 15th, news hit the internet about the Fisbis Trojan - but of course I didn't know about this at the time.)  In the process of testing out Thunderbird on Linux Lite I didn't want to use my official email account, so i thought I would set up a separate free email account on Yandex using a POP3 on Thunderbird email.  Meanwhile, on the Linux Mint OS, I set up a Yandex free email account using a POP3 on Evolution email. 

The server for Yandex email - as well as their free Yandex web browser, unlimited online storage starting at 10 GB, integration with Yandex Disk, e-Cards, and a whole bunch of other goodies - it all comes out of Russia.  I have to admit, two weeks ago, as I was setting up the free email service (which was all I wanted anyway), I had a twinge of "Gee, should I be doing this????"  Of course, in the process of setting up your free email account you get to choose your wallpaper ....."Oh boy, what a swell looking picture of the Kremlin....." - and now my feet are getting cold, but I'm too far in, though I have to admit, the beautiful pictures of deep outer space - probably from the Russian Space Station - did make me feel slightly better and set my geekly heart a flutter.  Yup, they sure do know how to reel ya in.....

Of course, the easiest way to get rid of this would be to do a fresh install of both Linux Lite and Linux Mint and totally nix Yandex altogether - which is probably what I will do eventually. 

However, before taking this final step, is there any way to test my suspicion that I've been infected with Fisbis (or something else equally nasty)? 

Also, other than avoiding anything coming out of Russia, how can Linux users protect themselves from these kinds of threats?
