viga · 2008-10-26 18:30:32

Is there an easy way to add flashplayer to arch 64

Thank you

SOLVED

This works:

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
re start your computer

ArchWiki: Install Flash on Arch64

if you want flashplayer 10 you could use yaourt and install flashplugin-mozilla from AUR.

yaourt -Sy flashplugin-mozilla

yaourt is not installed by default, and also is not officialy supported from arch linux distribution.

you will have to install it manualy, because it is in the unsupported section of AUR.

@viga
First read the wiki page suggested by creslin, then take a look at these if you want to try building something from the AUR
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt

Also take a look at swfdec and other native 64-bit alternatives to flash

Also, I lol'd at this:
A: where can I get x?
B: install it from the AUR, use yaourt
A: where do I get yaourt?
B: install it from the AUR

viga · 2008-10-28 02:54:00

I installed yaourt and tried to install flash. I received lots of warning so decided to abort.

Is this common. Some of the warnings were add \ to your environmental variables

Warning: This pkgbuild contains install file that can be dangerous

Is there another way to install flashplayer?

Just view the install file and make sure it's okay.

After all, Linux and especially Arch are about user confidence

viga · 2008-10-28 04:20:53

I followed all the instructions here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _on_Arch64

No errors were detected, but flash does not work.

Thanks for any help here.

AndyRTR · 2008-10-28 05:43:41

you should give swfdec-mozilla (in extra repo) a try

fumbles · 2008-10-28 07:24:46

One word: Opera, don't bother with all that extra crap, Opera: The worlds most advanced browser.

SomeGuyDude · 2008-10-28 07:47:19

I ended up installing pretty much everything I could get my hands on to get flash in Arch64, using the theory of "throw enough sh*t at the wall and something will stick." It eventually did.

Of course, in my case, I came to the conclusion that being on a little laptop with 2GB RAM rendered all benefits of Arch64 moot, so I'm back on i686 and QUITE glad that I am.

ChoK · 2008-10-28 10:05:46

Same problem here, (and I don't want to use the 32 bit version of adobe)

I tried swfdec one week ago but couldn't view youtube or deezer content (only a whitebox without nothing) Is this a normal behaviour?
I'm using Opera on x86_64 also where does gnash put his library I didn't find a gnash-mozilla plug-in and opera didn't recognize the libgnash*.so in /usr/lib ....

maybe someone blocks some content for u

swfdec-mozilla works well for me in firefox. you can post the url so we can confirm if swfdec can play it.

ChoK · 2008-10-28 10:53:37

It's all youtube or deezer homepage which doesn't work
I will install swiftweasel to see if it's an opera issue but in a mailing list I saw that swfdec and opera dev have been exchanging mail so both products are compatible

Xyne · 2008-10-28 11:07:35

To view youtube and other streaming video sites, you need to install some of the gstreamer packages. These were included as dependencies before but they were dropped in a recent update. I don't know which ones do what, so just install them all if you want to be able to see everything. You can get a list of them with this command:

pacman -Ss gstreamer

ChoK · 2008-10-28 18:10:46

I already had all the gstreamer plugin
Actually the problem lies with Opera, in firefox and swiftweasel the video load fine
Now what I don't understand is why it tries to connect to alsa (I have OSSv4 for sound and Phonon with gstreamer works (requires the plugin-bad already) so mmmm guess I have to recompile swfdec with OSS support)

looks like there is a missing xulrunner dependency I'll tell the maintainer of the swiftweasel package wrote:

Edit : actually the only backend available are alsa and pulse (for BSD users) according to http://swfdec.freedesktop.org/wiki/Installation so I have to install some oss-alsa package or pulseaudio well

About the opera problem, it seems that swfdec comes with a swfdec-gtk option when you build it from source 9enabled by default in arch package build), necessary for integration of the player with gtk apps,
opera being a qt app this could explain opera not displaying the video.
the error is

Also viga does your flash work now ? I apologize for hijacking your thread.

Does your method work also for Opera x86_64?
