Again... Arch64 and Flash...

I use firefox3 and have a problem with installing flash plugin:

$ nspluginwrapper -r ~/.mozilla/plugins/* ; nspluginwrapper -v -a -i
Auto-install plugins from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
Looking for plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** ERROR: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnashplugin.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

Re: Again... Arch64 and Flash...

You have flash correctly installed man

Install plugin /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
  into /home/ferhiord/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so

Where's the problem?
Restart Firefox.

The errors you read are not related to Flash, they are messages that are warning you that nspluginwrapper have found some 64 bit plugin that it can't handle!
So No problem at all

I was having lots of problems with nspluginwrapper, eventually I just installed the gnash x86_64 build and it's working fine for me so far.

Re: Again... Arch64 and Flash...

I went with swfdec, I swear adobe has somehow packaged an entire windows xp install in the flashplugin and flash is just run through the windows xp VM while some monkeys with sledge hammers attack your cpu and ram, then again I could be wrong. Evince + Swfdec/Gnash = happy Adobe free system.

Re: Again... Arch64 and Flash...

I dropped swfdec for Flash again on 64 bit. Every release of swfdec meant more and more CPU cycles. I started to build from GIT, and the situation was getting worse every time. It was hard for me because I really want the open source solution to work. Not because of zealotry, but because Adobe has forever been bloatware. No matter how anyone slices it, Flash is still king.

The latest AdobeFlash version had a huge performance increase. I think its 10beta or something like that. You should check it out.

Re: Again... Arch64 and Flash...

-Install nspluginwrapper-flash-ubuntu from AUR
-Get Flash Player 10 from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
-Put the .so file from the flashplayer tarball in ~/.mozilla/plugins
-type: nspluginwrapper -a -v -i

If there are errors like

*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** ERROR: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mplayerplug-in-rm.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

don't worry. That just says this plugin is native. So it will work anyway.

If you see this it should work:

Install plugin /home/noneus/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
  into /home/noneus/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so

aur/flashplugin-beta 10.0.b218-2 [installed]
aur/nspluginwrapper-flash 9.0.124.0-1 [installed]
aur/nspluginwrapper 0.9.91.5-3 [installed]

I'm using those three packages, and flash is working perfectly (after nspluginwrapper -v -a -i)

Are you using x86_64 arch?
the aur/flashplugin-beta 10.0.b218-2 did not support x86_64

Re: Again... Arch64 and Flash...

If you are experiencing problems and you have a SMP kernel you could also try the nspluginwrapper-ubuntu version, it worked for me (it includes a SMP patch for it to work properly).

There's no 64 bit Flash support so you can use a wrapper that allow you to use the 32 bit plugin under your x86_64 browser without having a chroot...
On the AUR you can find everything you need, the nspluginwrapper-ubuntu too.

Re: Again... Arch64 and Flash...

You need to install 2 packages:

nspluginwrapper (or the -ubuntu version)
nspluginwrapper-flash

Re: Again... Arch64 and Flash...

nspluginwrapper-flash isn't the new beta. Just follow the steps I said. If you don't have ~/.mozilla/plugins create it with mkdir.
