Flash/linux32 issue

Somehow flash stopped working, think a week or so ago. I tried to reinstall the nspluginwrapper and the flash plugins, to no avail. Then tried opera64 and the firefox32 pacakge from the AUR, didn't run either. So decided to run some stuff from the command line and got this error:

nspluginwrapper -v -i /opt/lib32/usr/lib/libflashplayer.so
/usr/bin/linux32: /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin: No such file or directory
nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /opt/lib32/usr/lib/libflashplayer.so

The same kind of error message is thrown at me when i run the opera pluginwrapper command (the No such file or directory).  Seems something is broken but what (my guess is the linux32 command...)?

Arch64 with kernel 2.6.27.1-1

Re: Flash/linux32 issue

Installed nspluginwrapper and nspluginwrapper on another computer which i haven't updated for some time (i.e. 3 weeks or so) and flash works there. Also arch64 system but with kernel 2.6.26.5-1

Re: Flash/linux32 issue

Try to remove all of nspluginwrapper and start over. I've seen this before where nspluginwrapper can't be found.

(excuse me last post)

Re: Flash/linux32 issue

Downgraded the kernel to 2.6.26.5-1, removed nspluginwrapper(-flash) and installed them again.

Then i run: nspluginwrapper -v -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

And get this error message:

/usr/bin/linux32: /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin: No such file or directory
nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Nspluginwrapper does show up in about:plugins in firefox
