nspluginwrapper-flash refuses to work

Hi,
some upgrade (don't remember if it was firefox, linux32 or nspluginwrapper) broke nspluginwrapper-flash functionality for me (in firefox).
Since then, I have tried numerous things suggested in numerous forums, yet neither nspluginwrapper-flash nor nspluginwrapper-flash-beta are willing to work.
I have linux32, nspluginwrapper, am currently using a cvs firefox build, ran nspluginwrapper -v -a -i/-u and have ~/.mozilla/plugins linked to ~/.mozilla/firefox/[foo].default/plugins/ which contains the npwrapper.libflashplayer.so. I also tried deleting the pluginreg.dat file. About:plugins shows the nspluginwrapper, but no flash entries or flash mimetypes for nspluginwrapper.
Any ideas are highly appreciated

I have exactly the same problem here. Did you manage to solve it yet? It would be great to get it back working again...

Re: nspluginwrapper-flash refuses to work

Does it give any errors when you try to start the browser from terminal.
Most like its going to say "Wrong ELFCLASS" or "npviewer: no such file or directory" or something like that.
If its saying "no such file or directory" remove the nspluginwrapper pkg with pacman -R and reinstall it from AUR (remove the .mozilla stuff with nspluginwrapper -r first).
If it is saying something about wrong ELFCLASS, its missing some 32bit libraries, all should be included with the package but it might be broken(?).
And yes, I'm the nspluginwrapper maintainer in AUR.

Re: nspluginwrapper-flash refuses to work

I'm having the same problem and this is what I get:

/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/npviewer.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libpangoxft-1.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 appears to be missing in nspluginwrapper-libs...

Re: nspluginwrapper-flash refuses to work

I tried it and got the same results:

/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/npviewer.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libpangoxft-1.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

So I guess it's something wrong in general....  :?

Re: nspluginwrapper-flash refuses to work

So pacman -Ql nspluginwrapper doesnt return libpangoxft there?

nspluginwrapper /opt/nspluginwrapperlibs/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0

It returns it here?
Some bug maybe in the build function?

http://packages64.mortals.dy.fi//nsplug … pkg.tar.gz
Try using this package, is same as in aur but works fine here?

Re: nspluginwrapper-flash refuses to work

If it still behaves the way you dont want it to behave; try opening /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/npviewer in editor and change
'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib:/opt/nspluginwrapperlibs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"'
to
'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/nspluginwrapperlibs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"'
If this change helps anything, report it to here and I'll fix it to the actual packages (works fine here without the change).

Re: nspluginwrapper-flash refuses to work

Yup, your package at http://packages64.mortals.dy.fi//nsplug … pkg.tar.gz stops the error. It now says this:

*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** ERROR: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so: undefined symbol: NP_GetMIMEDescription

I'll need to work on that...

But back to the nspluginwrapper package. Your package above does contain those files. But if a user build from AUR, they'll fetch the libs from http://koti.mbnet.fi/neverth/nspluginwr … .2.tar.bz2, as instructed by the PKGBUILD. Now download that file and extract it. Notice that the pangox and pangoxft files I mentioned above are simply not there. Did you upload the wrong file?

Re: nspluginwrapper-flash refuses to work

And by the way, I'm wondering why don't we just use the lib32 packages and add a lib32-gtklibs like Gentoo does? http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/ge … iew=markup

Isn't that easier to maintain?

But of course I'm biased on this because I just moved over from Gentoo.

Hello to everyone on arch here. And merry Christmas.
