01micko,

this problem is beyond my skill level and looks like it is not my hardware since in other pups once the speakers are chosen via multi-sound card wizard on reboot sound continues to go to those speakers. have looked in other pups multi-sound card wizard and the choices are the same as in the pic of my first post here in RC. any ideas?

01Micko,

GetFlash in Slacko RC will download the latest Flashplayer10.
The latest version, as of today is 11,0,1,152.

The site to test the Flashplayer version is here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

In order to get the latest Flashplayer11, you just need to change line 17 in the /usr/sbin/getflash script to this:

Live media When pfix=ram boot I am seeing a very long "wait" before "Personalize Settings" emerges on the desktop. If changes are made to match desktop needs, X restarts and there is an equally long wait before "Personalize Settings" reappears to show results of changes.

Is this a temporary testing thing to allow something in the background to "catch up"? If so, that's understandable, but, if its expected to carry into GA, may want to add a "Please Wait ..." message.

Hope this helps.

Here is the Flash installer I am using in Akita, for comparison purposes, just so people can choose a favourite Flash-installer, from all that are available...

** EDIT

I forgot to mention, this will install your CHOSEN version of Flash, then patch it to appear as 10.1 (if its not already the latest)..

Also, it gives the choice of installing the great "gflashplayer", so you can play your local .swf files

********

Don't worry, I didn't make it Wink

it was originally made by technosaurus (although I did make some changes).. It is i18n'd and includes the Russian translation, thanks to rodin.s

There are Spanish and German translations already made, but I've been slow to make the .mo files..

Also included in the archive is the /usr/sbin/delayedrun script which calls flash-get once a browser has loaded... It is quite different from the normal one, I think (although based on it)...
