Flash Player 10 on openSUSE 3.10

In the middle of the month, Adobe announced that Flash Player 9 includes several critical security vulnerabilities, see this Heise . Instead of bringing out for this release a security update, Adobe recommended users to update to the recently released version 10.

for users of openSUSE 10.3 results here but the problem is that the repositories only the Flash Player 9 is available. Although you can download the version directly from Adobe, but this is not adapted to the paths of openSUSE. In this case, one must first (eg via YAST) uninstall Flash 9 and then install version 10 of Adobe's Download Page . To this is added as the root directory of the download rpm file, type on the console: rpm-

Uhv flash-plugin-*

The plugin is then likely to libflashplayer.so in / usr / lib / flash-plugin. In openSUSE the browser plugin but look in the / usr / lib / browser-plugins. So you have to install a soft link to it or put

cd / usr / lib / browser-plugins
ln-s / usr / lib / flash-plugin / libflashplayer.so libflashplayer.so


Thereafter, the browser Version 10 of the Flash plug-ins available. However, it must then be manually updated in future updates. A manual update may also, as an initial installation to run (see above). In openSUSE 11, the problem is not there, the Flash Player 10 on normal YAST or Zypper be installed and updated.

domain forwarding? URL Hiding? Unique description

A problem which I have in my Webmaster Forum occasionally meet, are terms that web hosts use without defining them. The questions to ask their customers then in my forum, can not answer why sometimes difficult. One example is the so-called URL Hiding United Domains, which in this thread plays a role, another example of the Domain Forwarding of Strato, which comes in this thread discussed. If the asker to post any example URL, must be researched first, what exactly is meant by this term and unfortunately, we shall also often have no reasonable explanation. If you already created its own terms, they should explain at least in any reasonable FAQ.
