flash stopped working

nickrout · Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2002 10:39 am Post subject: flash stopped working

It used to go, using kde3.0.4 and netscape-flash 60.b. Just stopped working and I cannot figure out why??

Can anyone help?

May be a bit elementary, but can you see libflashplayer.so when you do Help/About Plugins in your browser (Mozilla?)?

I have a similar problem.
Using Mozilla 1.1-r1, kde3.0.4, netscape-flash6.0b
Flash works fine in Mozilla but not in Konqueror
Java works fine in Konqueror but not in Mozilla

I also have the same problem. I have netscape-flash 6.0.69-r1 and kde 3.0.4-r3 installed, and Flash just comes up as an empty gray box in konqueror. However, Flash works fine in Mozilla (mozilla 1.0.1-r3). Both used to work fine.

Although it's difficult to tell exactly what has changed, since I don't usually pay particular attention to Flash, I have re-emerged quite a bit of my system recently in an effort to fix a different problem. This includes re-emerging KDE and Mozilla. I also think that Qt got updated somewhere along the way, since the redhat-artwork package stopped building for me.

I have tried re-emerging kdebase and openmotif, as suggested elsewhere in these forums, but that didn't work.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I've emerged netscape flash player and got a /opt/netscape/plugins/ directory and the libflashplayer.so etc however I only have Konqueror installed. In the past Konquerer had no problems using netscape plugins, just scan and install via Konq. I didn't have a problem with Flash Player 5. In konqueror I've tried browsing to the /opt/....folder, scanning and installing, konq shows 'netscape plugins' in the list but not the individual plugins as it did with Flash 5. I also can't delete the 'netscape' entry either to try again.

Any ideas?
