Post subject: TP Z61m Flash and Java slow
Archived from groups: linux>debian>laptop (more info?)

Hello everybody.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad z61m. It is one of those discontinued series,
so I got it for less.

I run Debian Lenny on this and so far I'm happy with it.

- But I have noticed that Flash applications in Firefox (Iceweasel) are
slow and sometimes not loading.
- And then I habe a big play button on each flash object, which I have
to click fist before the slash elements are activated. This is
somethings useful but it would be nice to know where I can deactivate this.

- Also I must say that applications written in Java have some display
problems. The application I mean is ZendStudio 5.5.

With a connected power-supply it is less frequent but running on
batteries sometimes the col with the numbers is messed up and not
updating correctly.

I had Gentoo before on this laptop and I those problems (java and flash
slow) were no there.
So it must be a configuration or optimization setting.

I would be happy if someone could help or has any ideas about this.

If you need some more Information, please ask.

Sounds as if you have the Flashblock add on installed. Look under
Tools-> Add-ons

Hi,

I heard about similar issues with flash when swfdec-gnome was installed.
Maybe you should look into alternatives ?

Anyway I think you should tell us what flash packages are installed on
your laptop.

but as I type this:
- apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

I get the following error message

Hello,

ever tried to download it manually from adobe? It will give
you this link:

http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash...ayer_10

(Is there any reason, why you set a reply-to address, when writing to
the mailinglist?)

Ciao

try from the mm repo, eg on mirror:

deb http://mirror.hro.nl/debian-multimedia/ stable main

(that's the apt line)
