Curiouser and curiouser.
Okay; that's getting weird.
"updatedb" runs by default, I believe, every day. However, just to be
sure, I'd run it manually, then do another run of your locate command.
And this is weirder -- after running updatedb, locate now says that
libflashplayer.so exists in ~/.mozilla/plugins. Ok, so it is
installed locally, instead of globally. I can deal with that. But
why did locate not find it before? Is updatedb not running
automatically on my system? Maybe I'll go back to using 'find'
instead of 'locate.' The syntax for locate is easier, but find never
missed anything before (that I know of).
Well, with the mystery of why flash was playing on my system (if not why
locate wasn't finding it) solved, I renamed the plugin in
~/.mozilla/plugins and then installed flashplugin-nonfree and created a
symlink to the new plugin in ~/.mozilla/plugins. Now about:plugins
shows version 9.0 d78. Does anyone now, off the top of their heads, a
site that does not run on v7 that I can test this with?
