I recently installed Debian on this laptop. Here's the detail: $ uname -a Linux laptop 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2 i686 GNU/Linux
I'm using the IceWeasel browser, but I can't play a Youtube video. I don't want to install Flash because I just cannot stand Adobe. I searched around and found this: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=51504 I did what they said there, namely: $ sudo apt-get install gecko-mediaplayer iceweasel-greasemonkey Now IceWeasel shows a drop-down menu with a GreaseMonkey icon, and it is enabled. However, I still cannot watch any video on youtube.com. When I click to a video, it shows a black rectangle where the video should be, with the message "An error occurred, please try again later." I can right-click in the black rectangle, and I do see a pop-up menu with options like "Movie Control / Play". But it just doesn't work. Is this Gnash/GreaseMonkey stuff really a viable alternative to Adobe Flash? Maybe resistance is futile here, and I just need to be assimilated by Adobe. Say it isn't so. -- Patrick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
