Linux .tar.gz download is missing files

Hello,
The .tar.gz installation archive download is either missing files or the installation instructions need to be corrected. When untarred, only the file "libflashplayer.so" is unpacked. Per the installation instructions, "a directory called install_flash_player_10_linux will be created" and it should contain a file "flashplayer-installer":
~/downloads$ tar -tf install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz  
libflashplayer.so
~/downloads$
I've downloaded it 3 times, so I doubt this is an instance of random corruption. Also, if libflashplayer.so is placed in the Firefox plugins directory, it causes Firefox to segfault upon loading any Flash-using web page. Investigating with strace leads me to believe this is due to missing libraries (which, I'm guessing, should be installed by the nonexistent flashplayer-installer script).
Am I missing something obvious here?

I was able to get Flash working by installing libCURL and manually installing libflashplayer.so. I would like to point out that the libCURL dependency is not mentioned in the installation instructions anywhere. Maybe the non-existant installer program is supposed to notify you if you are missing dependencies?
Either way, something is broken.

  • Unable to rotate downloaded photos- missing file properties

    I copied/pasted my photos from Windows Explorer. I tried rotating the pictures to the correct position, however it throws an error indicating that the picture contains missing file properties. Has anyone encountered the same thing? How can you fix it?
    BTW, Using iphone 4S with iOS 5. Never had any issues with my 3GS.

    Well that message is a Finder error.
    As to the iPhoto problem:
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair library permissions.

  • I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open

    I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from an external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. While setting up my new MAC the external hard drive was dropped and I have been told by an outside source they could not retrieve the files.  It had 4 years of photos and videos on it. I remembered that I had downloaded some of the videos from the external hard drive (before it was broke) to Adobe Organizer 13 when I installed the Adobe 13 on my MACOS X 10.9.5.  I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open these videos?
    Any input is greatly appreciated!! I am sick over losing the videos and had a little hope on Adobe Organizer until I was unable to open them.  I am thinking it is due to my external hard drive not being plugged in. I thought when I transferred from the external hard drive to Adobe 13 that it would be there without the external hard drive needing to be attached but maybe I did something wrong.
    Thanks again for any help!!!!

    It had 4 years of photos and videos on it.
    To what did your camera record those photos and videos - camera's internal memory, inserted memory card, other?
    Any remote chance that the latter may still exist for you to use to download the camera files to your new external hard drive?

    Hi, Hugo,
    In similar cases it helped to remove the GarageBand "Preferences" file from the User Library.
    Open the folder
        your home folder > Library > Preferences
    and move the file "com.apple.garageband.plist" to the Desktop.
    Then try again to launch GarageBand.

    Did you unzip the entire contents of the download zip file onto your hard drive before running the installer?  You need to do that.
    I have installed it myself and it went in just fine.

  • TS3212 the new download of itunes will not run. I get a message during the process that I need to verify that I have sufficient privilege. then I get an error 126 and a missing file MSVCR80.dll. what can I do?

    I'm trying to download the new version of itunes. durig the install i get a message that I need to verify that I have sufficient privilege. Then I get a message of a Windows error 126 and a missing file MSVCR 80.dll. I've tried everything on the support site and nothing works.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Problem with downloading a PDF file from a webserver run on Linux

    Hi,
    I've written a simple functionality that manages file attachments.
    Everything works fine (attaching, downloading, deleting) when the webserver runs on Windows.
    However when I deployed the code to the Resin webserver run on Linux and use the Win browser to connect to the app, the downloading of PDF file doesn't work (uploading and downloading of txt, doc, xls, jpg files is OK).
    The downloaded PDF file is almost twice as big as original (~28KB when original is ~12KB) and it can't be open.
    I guess it is the problem of writing to the output stream of HttpServletResponse but I can't localize the problem.
    Here is the code I use for downloading file:
    private boolean downloadFile(HttpServletResponse response, String filePath,
                   String originalFilename) {
         File file = new File(filePath);
         String contentType = URLConnection
                   .guessContentTypeFromName(originalFilename);
         // If the content type is unknown set the default value.
         if (contentType == null) {
              contentType = "application/octet-stream";
         BufferedInputStream input = null;
         BufferedOutputStream output = null;
         try {
              input = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
              int contentLength = input.available();
              response.reset();
              response.setContentLength(contentLength);
              response.setContentType(contentType);
              response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; 
                           filename=\""+ originalFilename + "\"");
                output = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
              int bufSize = 10000;
              byte[] buf = new byte[bufSize];
              int bytesNo = 0;               
              while ((bytesNo = input.read(buf, 0, bufSize)) != -1) {
                   output.write(buf, 0, bytesNo);
              output.flush();
              input.close();
              output.close();
         } catch (IOException e) {
              log.debug(e.getMessage());
              e.printStackTrace();
    }Can you point any problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ala

    This piece is completely wrong and doesn't work for files bigger than 10000 bytes. Replace it by
    byte[] buffer = new byte[10240]; // 10KB exactly.
    int length = 0;
    while ((length = input.read(buffer)) > 0) { // Read next 10KB of input to buffer.
        output.write(buffer, 0, length); // Write specified length of buffer to output.
    }Or just use output.write(input.read()) in a loop of the contentLength as you're alredy using BufferedInputStream/BufferedOutputStream.
    Another thing, the method is declared to return a boolean, but it actually doesn't? I would just let it throw an exception in case of failure instead of returning a boolean and let the calling method handle the exception.

  • Download has left me with missing files and cannot start iTunes

    I was prompted to upgrade iTunes and so I did.  The upgrade started when Genuis was still doing it's thing.  At the end of the download, I was prompted to restart.  I closed what I was working on and restarted. Now, I when I try to start iTunes, I get an error message that says there are missing files and that I should re-install iTunes.   If I uninstall, will I lose the music files?  I tried to re-download, but this did not fix anything.  Any advice?

    Now, I when I try to start iTunes, I get an error message that says there are missing files and that I should re-install iTunes.
    With that one in that context, I think we should check for malware.
    Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)

    Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

  • Re-downloading podcast episodes to fix missing files?

    I had a number of podcast episodes stored on an external drive that died. Now these episodes show up in iTunes with a gray exclamation point next to them, because iTunes can't find the corresponding files. I'd like to fix this problem by having iTunes re-download the missing episodes (since most are still available from the podcast server), but I can't seem to find a way to do this. Any advice?
    (Note that iTunes still "remembers" some metadata about the episodes, such as whether I've watched/listened to the episode or not, ratings, etc. I would like to retain this information. That's why I haven't just deleted the podcast and re-subscribed.)
    Thanks!

    I just found a solution to this issue today. Try the following:
    Delete the problematic file(s) in iTunes.
    Close the podcast directory by clicking on the enclosing triangle.
    Reopen the podcast using the Option key and clicking on triangle.
    Missing podcasts will now appear with the "Get" flag.
    Hope that works for you.
    best regards

    missing /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_05/jre/javaws/javaws.packDon't worry about this. This is an artifact of the way Sun put the package together.
    They install the ".pack" files, and then a post-install rule runs that unpacks these files and deletes the original .pack files. Unfortunately, RPM doesn't handle such a situation very well.
    But this is definitely not an error.

  • Repeating problems (1) Many Missing Files; and (2) Downloading From iTunes

    I am having multiple issues with the iTunes store currently. I have spoken with an Apple Expert on August 14, 2010 (case number available if needed). Although he was very good at helping me to the best of his ability, he referred me to iTunes Store Customer Service, which I previously was in contact with.
    I have 2 types of repeating problems (1) Many Missing Files; and (2) Downloading From iTunes Store.
    _Problem One - (1) Downloading From iTunes Store_
    I have 1610 missing files from my iTunes folders. I created a list of missing items by following these steps:
    +If for any reason you find yourself with random missing tracks, (or are trying to recover from a dying hard drive like me), there is an easy way to isolate those missing tracks.+
    +1. Create a standard playlist called "Not Missing".+
    +2. Drag your entire library into that playlist. Missing tracks cannot+
    +be copied to a playlist.+
    +3. Create a smart playlist called where you select the following conditions in the options window for the new smart playlist:+
    +*dropdown menu* PLAYLIST+
    +*dropdown menu* IS NOT+
    +*dropdown menu* NOT MISSING.+
    +4. Rename the smart playlist "Missing"+
    +5. Right Click the "Missing" playlist+
    +6. Click the "Export..." option+
    +7. Select the Plain Text option and Desktop location+
    My missing playlistable items represent a better part of a decades worth of audiobook files, transfered files from my PC days, etc... i loved my - now missing - Doctor Who and Torchwood purchases from iTunes.
    I have already read the Trouble Shooting, checked Time Machine Backup, and been walked through replacing the preferences list. The missing file path from the "get info" options in iTunes points towards a non-existant file.
    _Problem Two (2) Downloading From iTunes Store_
    I have had problems downloading files from iTunes for months. I first noticed it with the TV Show "Avatar: The Last Airbender". Lately, when I download from the (non-music) part of the store, the majority of files are downloaded and then immediately not found. This has been prompting iTunes to repeat the download. Until I force quit itunes and *potentially cry*.
    There have been multiple iTunes store purchases of audio books recently. If I reported the missing file immediately, I can contact iTunes support to repost the file and that usually fixes the issue. But today, I went to go rewatch "Torchwood: Children of Earth" and noticed Problem One.
    _Hind Sight_
    If provided with a spreadsheet of my iTunes Store purchase history, I can write a vlookup( formula in excel to compare the list against my exported missing list so a shortlist of what is missing from just my iTunes Store purchase history can be created (hint: it's the majority of items from the list, others are years worth of files from my PC days). If we could do that, could iTunes make my missing purchases available?
    Then we can focus on purely, trying to figure out why they went missing in the first place - so we can prevent it again & possibly help others from running into the same.
    Plea
    I strongly suspect the two issues are related to a root cause ... in addition to my user error in file management of backups ... what is going on?

    iTunes Support (Eric) emailed me some instructions. I am posting, in hopes that this will help others.

  • Missing files.. ( pictures) why am i getting this message every time i try to open a pic..  JUSTY downloaded PSE12

    missing files.. ( pictures) why am i getting this message every time i try to open a pic..  JUST downloaded PSE12@

    Hi,
    When you are looking at the small pictures in the organizer, you are seeing the thumbnails that were stored within the organizer catalog when you first imported them into the organizer. When you first imported the files, the organizer saved the location of that file and the pointer to the thumbnail. When you try to edit or print the image, the organizer can no longer find the image at the stored location - the file is missing.
    You might like to read through this to see if it helps explain things to you
    Photoshop Elements (PSE) knowledge base.
    The changing drive letter is the most common cause when images are stored on an external drive.
    I'm not sure what you mean about when you say "did not go back into categories like I had them on version 7".
    If you updated to version 12 from version 7 on the same PC, there was no need to move any of the images so they should be in the same folders as before. The catalog should have been converted for you (if you allowed it) and so all your albums and tags should have been preserved.
