no flash in opera after upgrade

Today I preferenced etch-backports and did a huge upgrade, so far all fine but
one thing: Opera 9.27 won't play flash anymore.
Iceweasel does, so th eplugin seems fine. Pathes and all appear correct to me.
Ran strace on Opera and searched the output for open calls on flash, but
nothing.

Ideas?

Yeah, it's a problem with Opera 9.27 and Adobe's latest Flash, which
won't be resolved in the 9.2 versions of Opera. You'll have to do what
I ended up doing, and move onto the betas of 9.5. Opera 9.5b2 is quite
good and stable for me, and Flash works with it, too.

You'll find more info about this issue using the link below:

You can find the 9.5b2 version here:

Thanks for the info

Can't dig up the last working version, can someone please mail it or provide a
link?

Be aware that old versions of Opera will come with security risks, but
if you want to risk it, then you'll find older versions here:
ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/linux/

I'd still advise you to move onto 9.5b2, which will fix your problem.
This version isn't, for me, unstable and works fine, and at least
doesn't come with the security issues that pre-9.27 versions come with.

Another thing is to get the previous version of Flash, which will work
with 9.27... but that comes with a security risk, too.

Time to move on, I think. ;)

If you would rather continue using Opera 9.27, you can
get archived flashplayers here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266

Use the 9r48 version. I have found the easiest way to
do this is to ceate a ~/plugins folder and put
flashplayer there for Opera. Opera will usually find
it, but you will want to remove the pluginpath for the
newer version from Operas pluginpaths.

I am personally using Opera 9.50b2, and find it quite
acceptably stable, and latest flashplayer works ok
also.

Best regards.
