32 bit plugins in 64 bit Opera possible?

Hi all!

I'm considering installing the new Opera 9.50 (64 bit)  and was wondering if anyone had some experiences with using 32 bit plugins (flash and such..).
I've read/heard rumors of the 9.50 version having some kind of built-in "nspluginwrapper"..? Ref this posting: http://my.opera.com/csant/blog/2007/10/ … -bit-opera

Any thoughts?

Jay

Opera 9.5 final and Flash 9r115 are working properly here. No special wrappers, Opera has its own.

Re: 32 bit plugins in 64 bit Opera possible?

Why does archlinux.org look so ugly in Opera 9.50 kestrel? The fonts are very weird, it looks very good in firefix 3.0 and in konqueror. Many other pages look good in Opera, but Archlinux.org looks really ugly.

I think arch looks fine under Opera 9.5.

In Opera 9.50, the fonts look like they are unaliased or something. It is very weird compared to other pages. My Debian-installation with Opera 9.50 displays archlinux.org perfectly, so I think it's something with my fonts. I have ttf-bitstream-vera, ttf-dejavu and ttf-ms-fonts installed though. Anyone have a solution?

I noticed this too.  For some reason, Opera isn't applying my chosen fonts to archlinux.org.  I'll look into it...

Re: 32 bit plugins in 64 bit Opera possible?

arch64 with opera 9.5 doesn't seem to work.
Doing a:

#file $fileflags "/usr/lib/opera/9.50/operapluginwrapper-ia32-linux" | sed 's/.*://'

Returns:
ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

Which is a 32bit executable which isn't executable under arch64. The only way to execute this is in a 32bit chroot environment.

I created a wrapper around this wrapper to execute it in my chroot environment, however this doesn't work due to file descriptor errors. Because the command run is "detect -fd 59 /usr/lib/opera/plugins/libflashplayer.so". The number 59 changes every time opera is run.

Doing an strace on operapluginwrapper, shows that the program tries to write to file descriptor 59. As shown below:

write(59, "application/x-shockwave-flash:sw"..., 99) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
write(59, "Shockwave Flash\0", 16)      = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
write(59, "Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124\0", 25) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)

As such i'm not sure as to how to get this working.

You need to install some lib32-packages.

Hi, I just upgraded to Opera 9.51, but archlinux.org still looks ugly. Have you found out anything already?

Hey, You could try disabling 'Enable Core X Fonts' in 'User Prefs' in the opera:config page (Open a new tab and enter opera:config in the adress bar)

Re: 32 bit plugins in 64 bit Opera possible?

You just need to install the flashplayer-opera64 plugin from the AUR and all is fine. I actually wrote a mini tutorial about this today on my blog (except this is for Flash 10 beta) http://blog.yarrt.com/2008/07/flash-10- … 64-how-to/
