[solved] how to see youtube videos in X86_64?

absolutevoid · 2010-08-12 12:57:29

Hi,

as for the vulnerability, I did a pacman -Rsn to the existing flashplugin. Now that, I tried installing both nspluginwrapper-debian and nspluginwrapper-flash-prerelease, but in vain. The problem is with unresolved dependencies. nspluginwrapper-flash-prerelease need lib32-nss which is not in the AUR. While I searched for the package, I found lib32-nss-mdns which is marked outdated. I was not able to install it either. What should be done.

My system is X86_64, and am using KDEmod 4.4. (Installed KDEmod in arch base and not from Chakra live CD)

At least some videos can be viewed using YouTube's HTML5 beta.

You can download them to your disk and watch flv / mp4 files with your preferred video player.

Use this temporarily until the issue is resolved : flashplugin-10.0.45.2-1-x86_64

Minitube, a native YouTube client in QT. Watch YouTube videos without Flash Player:

I installed this package from the AUR (plus nspluginwrapper-debian)
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6232
without any unresolved dependencies and flash works just fine on X86_64

You could also try minitube. Qt apps can blend perfectly in a gtk desktop.

nspluginwrapper-flash 10.1.82.76-1 is having lib32-curl and lib32-nss as dependencies. Both are not available in AUR

And for minitube, phonon is a dependency which too is absent in AUR.

Downloading the files to view it is not that easy. Most of the time, I want to just see it and forget. May be, if the dependency problem cannot be fixed, I would try reinstalling the old version with security hole. I don't know the magnitude of its vulnerability, though.

Go to e.g. minitube AUR page and click on the dependencies, they will either show you an AUR page or the Arch package page.
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/search/?q=phonon

There's a bunch of AUR helper programs that will handle the dependencies for you.

hmmm

lib32-curl is in Community http://www.archlinux.org/packages/commu … ib32-curl/
lib32-nss is also http://www.archlinux.org/packages/commu … lib32-nss/

absolutevoid, it seems that you haven't even tried to install the aur packages for flash yet.

do you use an aur helper like clyde or aurget etc? if you are planning to install everything manually using the PKGBUILDs, then you will have to look for dependencies not only in AUR but also the other repositories like core, extra and community. Its perfectly normal for an AUR package to have dependencies on packages in the official repos.

Thank you. I was not able to install it using yaourt. So I manually downloaded the packages from mirror and did a yaourt -U to resolve it.

It did the trick.

Why not use pacman? You have to seriously read up - manpages don't bite. Neither do we ... yet ;-)

Careful with the assumptions, Seems to me he must have read yaourt's manpage to find out how to install local packages.

Of course, I use pacman. pacman -S lib32-curl lib32-nss was not yielding any results, prior. That was why I searched it with yaourt. Even then, it was not found. That was why, I downloaded it manually and installed using -U switch. Accidently, I gave yaourt -U instead of pacman -U.

By the way, I was not aware of clyde or aurget. I will try them out.

Thanks again.

You should check the AUR helpers wiki page, as there are many more than the three.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Aur_helpers

lib32 group is x86_64 only and I can't find it on my 32-bit Arch, but as you're using a 64-bit one you shouldn't have any problems.

In case you like command line apps, you could try http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37779

Thank you! This is precisely what I was looking for! Hopefully the issue is resolved soon.

Agi93 and Hashem, I hope you do realize that the version that you guys are using / downgraded to is the version which has a major vulnerability.

If you are ok with that, then by all means use that version of flash, but I would recommend that you use nspluginwrapper-flash from AUR. Agreed that it brings in a bunch of lib32 packages, but I would rather muddy my 64bit install than have a vulnerability.
