About Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader

Hi folks,


Archlinux 86-64 2007-08-2
SeaMonkey 1.1.6,


I need to install Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader


I found following link;
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _on_Arch64


But not for Seamonkey.  Does it work on Seamonkey.  Besides it's flash plugin.  Would it be the same as Adobe Flash Player?


Does 32bit Adobe Reader works on 64bit Seamonkey.  Where can I download it?  Where can I find its installation document?


TIA

Thanks for your advice.


Performed following steps

$ mkdir nspluginwrapper
$ mkdir nspluginwrapper_flash


$ cd nspluginwrapper

Download;
nspluginwrapper on this folder


$ tar zxpf nspluginwrapper.tar.gz
$ ls

nspluginwrapper  nspluginwrapper.tar.gz

$ cd nspluginwrapper
$  ls

PKGBUILD  nspluginwrapper.install  rpmextract.sh

$ su
Password:
#  makepkg -i

==> ERROR: Running makepkg as root is a BAD idea and can cause
    permanent, catastrophic damage to your system. If you
    wish to run as root, please use the --asroot option.

I was stuck here.  Whether I should follow the guide OR run "./nspluginwrapper.install"?


TIA


Edit:

I found following thread;
makepkg issues since pacman upgrade
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=316497


According to fwojciec' suggetion (2008-01-13 06:58:03) whether I have to make both "/etc/makepkg.conf" and "etc/makepkg.conf.pacnew" identical?  IIRC I haven't upgraded Arch just installing it couple months ago.

Re: About Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader

yeah don't ever run makepkg as root. It's not an issue, just a security concern.

Even I ignore the warning the package has not been installed.

Re: About Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader

Assuming you had run

updatedb

before doing

locate ndiswrapper

it looks like the package didn't build.  Go back to your nspluginwrapper directory and run

makepkg

as your user, if this completes successfully it should create a file called something like

nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

probably in the current directory.  It may fail initially due to unsatisfied dependencies but you should be able to install them using pacman since I think all the lib32- stuff is in [Community] now. 

You then need to install the package (as root) with

pacman -U nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

Also, if you haven't updated you system for a couple of months it is probably a good idea to do it now.

OR you could try gnash. It has a native x64 port, but it is only compatible with up to flash 7 or8

can't be found


I can't find 'alien' and 'dpkg' on repo.  With them I can convert .rpm package to .deb package and install the later with with dpkg.  Or is there any way on Archlinux?


Any suggestion?  TIA

Hi theringmaster,


Whether you meant;

Gnash Flash
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/

gnash-common 0.8.2-2
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/15148/

???


If I can't find a solution here I'll try the way working on Fedora first.  The method worked on Ubuntu 7.04.

Re: About Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader

When you build your own package, you have to install it with "pacman -U /path/to/nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz".

Re: About Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader

Now that you have the plugin wrapper, you need to get the plugin itself.  It's in the AUR, and it's called nspluginwrapper-flash.  Just build it with makepkg and install it with pacman.  Note that it has a few dependencies that you may not have installed yet.  You will have to take care of those first.

Re: About Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader

Satimis,

Look at the top comment on the package's AUR page (written by imachine): http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6232 .  There is a new PKGBUILD in the comment.  Replace your PKGBUILD with that, and makepkg should work.

Looks like the plugin was updated but it's maintainer hasn't uploaded a new PKGBUILD yet.

Whether I need to create;
~/.seamonkey/plugins
???

The directories created will be empty.  Besides the command "nspluginwrapper -v -a -i" will look for "~/.mozilla/plugins"


Any suggestion?  Or just use ~/.mozilla/plugins ?  TIA

Re: About Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader

Hello Satimis,

Seamonkey uses ~/.mozilla.  If you run the command "nspluginwrapper -v -a -i", as pacman suggests you do, then the plugin should just work.  The command must be run as your regular user, with seamonkey closed.

If that doesn't work, I'm afraid I don't know what's wrong...

Hi peart,


It seems not necessary installing Flash Player on Seamonkey.


$ nspluginwrapper -v -a -i

Wong ELF classs.  Fail.


Start Seamonkey and visit

Test Adobe Shockwave & Flash Players
www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome


Flash Player works.  Adobe Shockwave Player doesn't work.


Where can I find the Shockwave Player for 64bit Archlinux?  Can I install MPlayer instead?

Re: About Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader

The ELF stuff is your 32-bit wrapper trying to cope with 64-bit plugins.  No cause for concern... I think.

There is cause for concern for the Shockwave (Director) plugin.  On Linux, it simply does not exist.  I just googled around, and found nothing in LinuxLand that understands Shockwave.

Hi peart,


This guide "Fedora Core 6 Up and Running Part 2"
http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/26/26/


worked for me previously on Fedora.  Both Flash and Shockwave worked.  Unfortunately I can't find those packages on repo here.  I can't test it here.

Interesting.  Even Adobe itself says there was never a Shockwave plugin for Linux.  I'll check the my-guides link in your post.  It's on the todo list for the weekend.

Ciao,
me.
