hey ashugles . .
i jus did a fresh install of ubuntu 8.04 then install song bird and it still didnt pick up my plugins again and this was ver 0.7
wat i had to was:
my songbird plugins is located at: /usr/share/Songbird/plugins for both java and flash. i had to copy flash from : /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so and paste it in/usr/share/Songbird/plugins to get flash to work
then i had to run a java command like this sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so/usr/share/Songbird/plugins to install java (i got this command from the FLOCK site and like how flock an songbird is based off MOZILLA i thought it wud work and it did)
thx for your help . . i havent had any luck installing my multimedia plugins like totem,geck-mplayer,for embedded videos but thts kool .. i can live without those but i cant live without flash and java on the web . .
thnx again

ok kool . .
dont worry man i'll post back when i do a clean install
i think the reason why it didnt work is bcuz i was doing alota experimenting wid Ubuntu . . so maybe one of my directory got messed up or something . .
thnx anyway . .

hey ashughes kool tuturial :P
i followed ur instructions an got the java bin file, ran the commands in the terminal accept the licence agreement an did the rest of the tutorial but in the end wen i went to about:plugins, theres still No Java there in Songbird . .
i dont kno wats wrong cuz i did everthing u say without any errors in the terminal . . i'm not giving up on songbird though . .
i hav space constraints on my present Drive (40 Gb) so i'm gonna do a upgrade to a bigger drive (320 Gb) an a clean install soon . . i'll let u kno wat happen after a clean install of ubuntu on a bigger Drive + Songbird . .
i saved ur tutorial and the java file so wen i reinstall my programs i will attempt to add java to songbird again ..
but in the mean time i'm gonna continue enjoy the lovely songs and beautiful interface of Songbird ;)
