Cannot Upload Picture Files to Vuvox

Asked by Jennifer

I have photos to my folders located on the desktop. When i click on the Browse button on Vuvox to upload a photo from the desktop, the desktop folder in the list does not show all the photo files or is blank and even when i take them out of folders and put them individually on the Desktop, they are not available for upload. When I look at Desktop file browser or open them on the Desktop they are there but not in the upload process.

Do they show if you put them in the pictures folder or downloads?

I don't recommend using desktop for data storage, its messy

I can see them when I open the folders. But I dont see anything listed when I try to upload to Vuvox. I want to use Vuvox and I have used it before, but now I see nothing except old files or blank in the list of folder contents. What do you suggest?

Does it happen in all browsers?
Does the upload use a specialist java interface on the site or is it simply a file browse in the browser itself?

I have only Firefox 3.0 on my machine
I don't know how to answer the question - I am not very savvy about Ubuntu - the website is Vuvox and I have used it before. The Java plug in in Ubuntu does not seem to work. The file browser is in my Home Folder/my name/desktop/pic folder

Try installing another web browser from software center, there are many to choose from.

I just created an account and it appears to be some flash thing with a fancy progress bar. I use chromium to do this on my POS laptop running Karmic 32bit.

Can you give the output of:

uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf

Thanks

ok you have too many flash plugins, you have also have gone to the adobe site and downloaded the flash deb which is wrong. You have too many flash plugins so they will conflict and you will get issues.

Run this to fix the mess. It may help

sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flashplugin flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

You ONLY want flashplugin-nonfree installed, this is the correct package to give you flash, the adobe-flashplugin will give you issues

Once the commands have ran, restart your browser and try the site.

I tried going to the site in question but it now says I need Adobe 9 Flashplayer
When I ran the command you gave me, it removed flashplugin-nonfree

Yes but it also then reinstalls the right plugin.

Can you help with this problem?
