Hi,
I just updated my computer, I am running testing repo. The problem is that now some flash content don't work.

Linux arch64 2.6.34-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon May 17 09:29:00 CEST 2010 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

kernel26 2.6.34-1
flashplugin 10.0.45.2-1
chromium 5.0.375.55-1
firefox 3.6.3-1
AUR
flashplugin-lahf-fix 0.1-2

that happened to me when flash player was installed in two places at once. try uninstalling all your flashplayer(s) and reinstall. or for you, uninstall the other flash thing.

seems like "turning it off and on again" has solved the problem

I can't see flash content either in Chromium, it says "Missing plug-in". I have checked in "about:plugins" and it's enabled and located correctly. I only installed flashplugin from extra repo.

I did as this post with no success: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 26#p774726

Any ideas?

I still have the same issue, any ideas?

karol · 2010-07-13 04:59:01

Maybe http://www.archlinux.org/news/501/

benoror · 2010-07-13 05:11:59

But then, why root is still able to play flash movies?

> But then, why root is still able to play flash movies?
You got me, why did the chicken cross the street?

Sth tells me it's the usual permissions issue. Try to reinstall flash and check out if there are any error messages. Or read the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fla … ot_working

Edit: OK, I've checked the other thread and you said it didn't work, but let's check it anyway

Post the output of

ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

-rwxrwxrwx 1 benoror users 35 Apr 15 19:01 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

I chmod'ed it with 777

karol · 2010-07-13 05:57:26

OK, how about

ls -al /usr/lib/mozilla

I have installed flashplugin-native64 and the same "Missing Plug-in" error happens!! http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38184

karol · 2010-07-13 07:36:07

Post 'ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so' again - after that update. Is this the file chromium is pointing to?

Maybe you can reinstall chromium.

benoror · 2010-07-13 07:47:50

I reinstalled chromium, and flashplayer-native64, now the file is:

macmini:~ $ ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
total 9364
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9570824 Jul 13 02:28 lib64flashplayer.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      35 Apr 15 19:01 libnpjp2.so -> /opt/java/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so

In Chromium I type 'about:plugins' and it loads the plugin:

Shockwave Flash
Description:    Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
Location:    /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/lib64flashplayer.so
MIME types:    
MIME type    Description    File extensions
application/x-shockwave-flash    Shockwave Flash    
.swf
application/futuresplash    FutureSplash Player    
.spl
Disable

But it crashes. ....

If I run Chromium at the console I get this:

12810:12810:709615066870:ERROR:chrome/browser/tab_contents/tab_contents.cc(1910)] Not implemented reached in virtual void TabContents::OnCrashedPlugin(const FilePath&) convert plugin path to plugin name

But it doesn't seem to be related ...

BTW thanks karol por your patience and support ...

You're welcome, but I'm not really helping much. Where's that damn rabbit foot when you need one ...

Are you running 64-bit Arch?
Can you run flash on some sites or it isn't working at all? Can you post a couple links to the sites that are not working?

Google pointed to this
http://pastebin.archlinux.fr/403790

Maybe you can try nspluginwrapper.

Indeed I'm using arch x86_64

As root, I can run all flash content, as regular user: none. It crashes, or simply doesn't load, showing a "Missing Plug-in" message...

I'm lost

karol · 2010-07-13 08:34:44

> I'm lost
Maybe the other plugin is crashing chromium?

Nop, I tried removing it, only Java is removed from about:plugins, the same issue persists
