Cool, thanks!

BTW: Presuming that it's even legal - if one uses IP spoofing could one view UK BBC programming using the BBC Flash version?

Can they co-exist or would they have to be different Carolina installs or on different computers?

[edoc]

The 11.2.202.394 Flash install is throwing the following Missing Libraries error:

libnspr4,so
libnss3.so
libnssutil3.so
libplc4.so
libplds4.so
libsmime3.so
libssl3.so

What should I do to resolve this, please?

Thanks - David

Those files are included in firefox it should just work if firefox is in Carolina, if you have removed it that will be the problem.

I have BBC iplayer working in firefox with the Hola unblocker addon.

[edoc]

There was no default browser in the version I installed.

Is there a way to get those libraries without installing FF, please?

@edoc

I'll see what I can do in regard to midori, it's as I remember it, it can be unstable, maybe you could try Qupzilla, it's a nice browser.

Taskbar

Added to the PPM

"Taskbar is a transparent taskbar to collect users favorite applications and run them in a simple click. It is inspired both from Kde 3.4 taskbar and OsX kicker.

Taskbar supports the following features

tooltips are displayed when the pointer stays long enough on a button;
the application icons are animated when the pointer pass over them or click on them. Three icon zooming modes are available (fixed, minimal, and hyperbolic);
buttons are added/removed by right clicking and select the corresponding action in a popup menu;
buttons can be reordered by middle-clicking on a button and moving it around.
the layout maybe either vertical, horizontal or box-like (with a given number of columns);
the taskbar can be placed anywhere on the desktop and moved around at will by just left-clicking on it and moving the pointer. A set of predefined position around the desktop is also available.
button names can optionally be added bellow the icons;
the taskbar can be automatically hidden when the mouse pointer leaves its active area. This feature is enabled only for certain (natural) combinations of taskbar layout and predefined positions.

Note: at first install, the taskbar is empty. To add a button, right-click, select add button and fill in the dialog that appears."

Thanks Bob - I'm hoping to avoid the time & hassle of that process - the schedule is already overloaded with broken laptops, laptops needing OS upgrades, chasing drivers for new printers, etc.

Perhaps the minimalist version of Carolina (no default browser) might offer a PET to install those libraries since they appear to be critical to Flash in many browsers?

I can't be the only user bumping into this limitation.

I know this is all volunteer - were I skilled enough I'd package the libraries - but after 10+ years & it always results in a mess when I try, I've caught the clue that it's not my gift.

Thanks again - David

I did a search using duckduckgo.com and found one re. Steam.

A user lacking some similar libraries was counseled to do the following:

@edoc

I've compiled the latest Qupzilla version 1.6.6, this still has the certificate warning, just add them, should be fine, it's just a nuisance.

Made a pet of the flashplayer dependencies,install Qupzilla first then run the flash_dep_qupzilla.pet, it will add the files

libnspr4,so
libnss3.so
libnssutil3.so
libplc4.so
libplds4.so
libsmime3.so
libssl3.so

then moves the /usr/bin/qupzilla binary to /usr/lib/qupzilla/qupzilla, creates a new script in /usr/bin called qupzilla which loads the path to the dependencies.

Don't install this if you have firefox or seamonkey installed, remember to install flashplayer too,

Hope it works ok for you.
