[SOLVED]new install flashplugin-prerelease not working

whitethorn · 2010-12-21 14:23:26

Hi,

I installed arch on my new Acer aspire one last night, I couldn't get flash to start working. I'm trying to stick to 64bit applications, so I decided to install the prerelease from AUR. It's installed but for some reason Firefox, Chromium can't find it. I've also installed gecko-media-player which is also not being recognized by firefox. about:plugins just tells me no plugins are found. I guess there's something missing but I can't find an answer anywhere. Help!

@whitethorn did you had a warning when installing the pacakges, like permission in package different than on filesystem?

I'm using the package and it works fine. What is the output of

ls /usr/lib/.mozilla/plugins ~/.mozilla/plugins

Yes I did, I checked around a bit seems like /usr/lib/mozilla/ had permissions set to 700 setting it to 755 fixed the problem. Hmm, looks like starting firefox as root first sets the permission to 700.

It's a bug.
