[gentoo-user] flash changes

[W.Kenworthy]

With the objectionable licence change to adobe flash, what alternatives
do we have when firefox wants to install on visiting a website?

There is libflash but I cant find what versions of flash it supports.
Also, ubuntu lists libflash-0.4.13 while gentoo ~x86 is showing only
libflash-0.4.10-r1 which makes it seem out of date.

So is there anything better for flash when using firefox to browse the
web?

[gentoo-user] gthumb --import photos does not import .nef files / gthumb only displays .nef embedded thumbs

[Dru Kargin]

I am having a lot of trouble with gthumb and the .nef raw image files
from my wife's Nikon DSLR.  In spite of making sure that
seemingly-appropriate mime entries for .nef are in the system (thunar
recognizes .nef as "Nikon raw image", and thumbnails it), gthumb
--import-photos reports "no images found," gphoto2 refers to the .NEF
files as "application/x-unknown", and gthumb will only display the
low-res embedded thumbnails of the .nef files.

In contrast, on my wife's Ubuntu machine, gthumb will import and display
the .nef files just fine.

What am I doing wrong here?
