 |
|
I get this message when I try to install adobe-flash
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "www-plugins/adobe-flash" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.1.53.64 (masked by: package.mask, AdobeFlash-10.1 license(s))
A copy of the 'AdobeFlash-10.1' license is located at '/usr/portage/licenses/AdobeFlash-10.1'.
- www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.0.45.2-r1 (masked by: package.mask, AdobeFlash-10 license(s), ~x86 keyword)
A copy of the 'AdobeFlash-10' license is located at '/usr/portage/licenses/AdobeFlash-10'.
- www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.0.45.2 (masked by: package.mask, AdobeFlash-10 license(s))
- www-plugins/adobe-flash-9.0.277.0 (masked by: package.mask, AdobeFlash-9.0.31.0 license(s), ~x86 keyword)
A copy of the 'AdobeFlash-9.0.31.0' license is located at '/usr/portage/licenses/AdobeFlash-9.0.31.0'.
Can someone walk me through getting it installed? Ive read the man on masked packages but just dont quite understand how to do this!

add this
| Code: | | www-plugins/adobe-flash AdobeFlash-10.1 |
to /etc/portage/package.license
adobe-flash shouldn't still be masked on x86, when was the last time you did a emerge --sync? |

Didn't work for me. I restarted Firefox, and I get the same thing. Is there something special I need to do? I already did an emerge --sync and etc-update, after installing adobe-flash. |

Ryuzaki,
You mean you can't get it installed due to the masking, or it was indeed installed but it's not working with Firefox?
As I gathered from certain logs in your other posts, you're using a 64-bit system yes?
I noticed some discussion about problems with adobe-flash and Firefox and some pointed to stability issues regarding 64-bits and nspluginwrapper.
| Code: |
Adobe has released 10.1 in only a 32-bit version and upgrading
is required to close a major security vulnerability:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/322855
Furthermore, there are stability problems when running 10.1 in a
64-bit browser with nspluginwrapper. The current recommended
configuration is to use a 32-bit browser such as
www-client/firefox-bin:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/324365
|
Some places instructed to re-install the nspluginwrapper and re-starting the browser and it worked for them.
I have no idea whatsoever if this is even related to your problem, and I am THE Noob Unlimited but well, I read your post and remembered I had read about something like that and at least I can't make anything worse with this, I think. ;^^
I have no problems with the version 10.2.161.22_pre20100915 while using Opera.
However now that I try it, Konqueror doesn't seem to play Flashy videos still. I never tried it to get them playing though since I use Opera heh.
I hope this helps!

basically this. If you merge flash first, then nspluginwrapper, it should automagically create the 64bit plugin for you, and configure firefox accordingly.

I think, since www-plugins/adobe-flash has native 64bit support, there is no need to use nspluginwrapper for flash.

guess this means adobe finally pushed out an update plugin then?
when the big barrage of vulns were published a while back (recently, since 10.1 this happened), they immediately release a 32bit plugin for linux, 64bit for windows only
so at the time the only real recourse was using 32bit plugin with nspluginwrapper. If that's changed, excellent! Looking at the ebuild, the download looks to be a 64bit plugin URI, so I guess that's indeed done and updated?

THANK YOU sooo much, I've been doing facepalms ever since I started trying to get flash working. And may thanks to cach0rr0 as well! |

Yes, finally we have 64bit plugin. It works great on my gentoo. I did not expect it to happen 
Anyway there is a thread named "For your information: Adobe released 64bit Flash", if you want to check out.

excellent soon as wireless under linux isn't just downright feckin awful no matter which wireless chipset you try so long as it's a Wireless--N network, I'll hop on, sync, upgrade/update, and have a play For now, having to run wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd by hand every 10 minutes is enough of a blocker. At least Flash is no longer one of such blockers

That's what I did, then at least in chromium went to about:plugins and disabled the ndiswrapper one.

buy speakers?
(I couldn't resist! seriously though, I've not had any issues with sound, across any flash version nor distro, unless flash crashed; at which point I'd killall -9 npviewer.bin, and reload the pages)

Speakers? I dont need my computer to speak. Ive got quite nice Dolby Digital Surround System (7.1) with 500W bass (half of kilowatt) on a Creative X-Fi Titanium - Fatal1ty sound card, and it works flawlessly with ALSA. Just why flash player does not use ALSA? Maybe I need to configure something? Or maybe it uses OSS/Pulseaudio?

Hi,
I tried to use your overlay. I copied the script to a file:
/usr/local/portage/www-plugins/adobe-flash/adobe-flash-10.2.161.22_pre20100915.ebuild
and ran
| Code: | # ebuild adobe-flash-10.2.161.22_pre20100915.ebuild manifest
Appending /usr/local/portage to PORTDIR_OVERLAY...

Am I doing something wrong? To be honest, I don't overstand overlays at all yet. This is the first time I've dealt with one.
Any advice?

no worries. Check the URL emerge tries in the output you posted above - you will notice it is still the September 15th build, whereas in the ebuild I posted it's the 27th
this is because you don't have the local overlay set up quite as it should be.
to be honest i keep my overlays in /root
| Code: |
#mkdir -p /root/overlays/flash/www-plugins/adobe-flash/
#vi adobe-flash-10.2.161.22_pre20100927.ebuild
<paste in the ebuild from above>
#ebuild adobe-flash-10.2.161.22_pre20100927.ebuild digest
|
now you need to add the overlay to your /etc/make.conf
| Code: |
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/root/overlays/flash"
|
then emerge -pv adobe-flash and see if it now shows the correct version. If so, remove the p and let 'er rip!

Sweet,
Thanks for that. After many months flash will now do hardware acceleration on 64bit (i.e. will play fullscreen).
Thanks a ton for that build.

I'm stuck getting flash and gecko-player working with firefox and chromium also.
I've got gecko working on Epiphany , Flash on Chromium and nothing on firefox.
I'm running a 64 bit processor.
I'm going to try to re-emerge flash but where de we get the ebuild ? Any ideas about gecko/
