flash player: The plugin initialization failed

[christian jenni]

I'm using Ubuntu 6.10, Flashplayer worked fine in Firefox and Swiftfox. I do install the update packages as they arrive. Since ca. 1 week the Flasplayer does not start any more. The error message is: "The plugin initialization failed"

Any idea which package has conflict with Flashplayer?

Hello,

I could solve the problem myself. I installed the SW crossover office
after the problem with the flashplayer started. After deleting the
mozilla plugins from crossover office flash worked again.

Christian installing crossover-office is not a suloution can you please try to install flash again and the set up as it was and see if you get same errors, there was a problem with flash that is now fixed.

Hi John,

the problem was the other way round. Flash worked always fine. But the I
installed for a trial crossover office with the result Flash didn't
anymore. It took while until I did uninstall crossover office. Since
then Flash works fine again.

That's all
