[SOLVED (Yippee)]Good Arch64 Flash guide?.

tricky · 2009-05-31 16:34:16

Hi Evri1,

Everythings fine here except the flash videos on youtube for example.
Hence I can't use chatrooms and stuff.
It's not a huge problem but it means I am a bit restricted.
I installed flashplugin but I think I need some things from the AUR like nspluginwrapper.
I don't know how to do this.
I have searched but I need a simple intro type guide to installing from AUR.
Anyone got a linky for me plz?.

You can just get the 64-bit Flash Player .so from Adobe and stick it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.

Also, who's Evri1?

Tried the wiki?

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _on_Arch64

also: All I've got installed is flashplugin from extra and everything works fine. I don't remember any additional steps to have been necessary, so if there were any, they can't have been too much of an effort. What exactly isn't working? Did you look at the main article? I remember no struggling at all with flash, when I went from 32 to Arch64.

Mmmmh...

$  LC_ALL=C ls -all /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9543400 May 24 19:42 libflashplayer.so
$  LC_ALL=C pacman -Qo  /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so is owned by flashplugin 10.0.22.87-1

I don't get it why mine works if that's necessary... I definitely didn't do any manual changes to that file the last months, so it must be the version maintained in extra, right? (Oh, yes, I tried a full system system compile from abs some time ago, that explains the date).

Thank you both.
That was quick.
I will go and do those things.
I don't know why I wrote evri1 instead of everyone

tricky · 2009-05-31 17:09:05

I put libflashplayer.so in the directory for plugins and it never worked.

Youtube says hello java or flash missing.
@ Whoops : Should I type that code in?.

FYI I had to relog to my WM after installing the flashplugin to get it working.

whoops · 2009-05-31 17:22:19

That code was just me trying to figure out, if I'm really using the libflashplayer.so from arch extra repo or if I forgot something (unless you forgot where you got your flash from, too, there's no need to do that ).

If Youtube says, "java or flash" is missing... are you sure it's not java? Wait a second... the only java-related thing I have installed is "hsqldb-java 1.8.0.10-1" (I've got no idea what's that for) and youtube works fine... strange...

You can maybe get more information, if you start firefox from a terminal and watch the output there while you try to use flash / java sites.

Anyways, chats not working sounds rather like java anyway. Do you have that installed? If openjdk6 doesn't work - there's still jre.

All I did was install flashplugin from the repo's and restart. 64 bit here too.

I have installed flashplugin so I dont get it, unless the repo had 32 bit version only.

Maybe I need another repo.

I am just using the main 3 :extra , main and community.

Are there any Flash Ninja's out there??.
Show me the ArchFu or GnuFu whatever.

The flashplugin from extra works for me on Arch64.

rusty99 · 2009-05-31 18:58:57

What browser are you using and if firefox (or a fork of) are you running noscript?

dmartins · 2009-05-31 19:02:41

There is no need for nspluginwrapper anymore. The flashplugin package in extra provides the x86_64 version of adobe's flash player for linux (which they are currently calling an alpha release - you won't find it on the regular download flash page).

A few questions to narrow this down:
-Which browser are you using?
-How did you install it?
-If it's a firefox build from the AUR, are you sure it's 64 bit?
-Type "about:plugins" into the address bar in your browser (assuming it's firefox). What is listed?

I'm not sure why sayems said to install all those lib32 packages. If you are using a 64 bit browser and 64bit flash plugin, there's nothing 32-bit involved..

Using firefox (gran paradiso) from repo 64 bit.
Not using noscript.

Interesting..about:plugin says no plugins installed?

Earlier I put libflashplayer.so into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.

Ranguvar · 2009-05-31 19:11:51

Did you restart after installing flashplugin? Actually, relogin should be all that's necessary.

Peasantoid · 2009-05-31 19:12:37

Post up the output of this:

stat /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

It's possible that the permissions are incorrect.

tricky · 2009-05-31 19:13:39

Yes, I relogged.
I don't get why it won't work.
My setup is pretty standard but for some reason firefox can't se the plugin.
Is it a permissions thing?.

Hmm, that seems all right. Try `stat /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so`.

That is... odd. Have you tried running Firefox from the command-line? If not, do so now and post up the output.

dmartins · 2009-05-31 19:20:32

Just a stab in the dark, but maybe your firefox profile is corrupt?

Here's how to create a new one without completely destroying the old one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=103930

Anything in about:plugins now?

tricky · 2009-05-31 19:21:56

Firfox works from command line but still no youtube.

Let me just try dmartens suggestion brb
