[Solved] Flash java x64...again

banshee28 · 2009-03-06 23:20:43

Ok, this is another flash 64 thread, but i have read many threads and wikis and have not been able to get this to work this time. Most of the x64 flash\java builds from the abs are flagged as out of date.

I have arch x64 and firefox....(Should be x64?)
still
I have installed the normal flashplugin via packman and openjdk6 and flash still does not work. When I try to use aur and install jre 6u12-1 x86_64, i get these lib 32 errors. If possible I do not want any 32-bit lib's installed. Is this possible or what am i missing?

makepkg 
==> Making package: bin32-jre 6u12-1 x86_64 (Fri Mar  6 18:07:18 EST 2009)

Ah, you don't want the bin32-jre with your 64-bit firefox (which would be default if you just did a pacman -S firefox). You need to install jre_beta from the AUR. Also make sure you have installed the flashplugin, not the lib32-flashplugin. Remove both, including configuration files and reinstall. They should work 'out-of-the-box'

Good luck!

If you install the jre_beta package, change the name in the PKGBUILD from jre_beta to jre. That way when the community package starts to get updated again, you'll get the regular updates. And, the Flash plug-in from the repos works great for me.

Ok, i uninstalled all flash and java and installed jre_beta 6u12-1 from the aur (using yaourt and flashplugin 10.0.22.87-1 from the repo using pacman. Its not quite working yet.

here is what is installed:

extra/firefox 3.0.6-1
extra/flashplugin 10.0.22.87-1
local/jre_beta 6u12-1

Also, why would OpenJDK 6.0 not work if its for x64 and already in the extra repo?

What does "not quite working yet" mean?

no java or flash..you tube and adobe's site both say flash is not installed as well as other sites. java tests also fail says not enabled in browser. I checked just now and it definitely IS enabled.

Often, and you may have already tried this, Java at least needs /etc/profile to be sourced. So either 'source /etc/profile' or log in and log out. I've never heard of this for Flash though.

Tried that and even rebooted, still no java or flash. I think its something simple I am missing...I am also using xfce 4.6, and so far am really happy with it

check permission of /usr/lib/mozilla/ and /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
both should be 755

How can I do that? I think I'm having the same issue.

ls -l /usr/lib | grep mozilla

and

ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla | grep plugins

If the first part of the both of the outputs is this, they're correct:

drwxr-xr-x

If not, run this as root for either or both:

chmod 755 /usr/lib/mozilla
chmod 755 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

Thank you very much, however, it started working out of nowhere without further tampering.
