 Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2007 2:40 am Post subject: Installing flash_player_9 [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I did a fresh AMD64 gentoo install on my laptop. Ran into a wesbite using flashplayer 9 and followed the link to download. I downloaded and tried to install, but it failed:
$ ./flashplayer-installer
ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the
Adobe Flash Player installer.[/quote]
It looks like other folks have gotten flash to work with linux on the AMD64. Anyone know how its done?
Many thanks!

64 bit isn't supported yet you need a 32 bit version of Firefox or Seamonkey, or you can get it working trough a chroot environment but that's something I've never tried
| Code: |
# emerge mozilla-firefox-bin
# emerge netscape-flash |
Should take care of it all
Then just run firefox-bin or add it to any starter icon you may/want to use for it
I'm using firefox-bin with adobe flashplayer (netscape-flash is adobe flashplayer) and it works great

But since you didn't buy a 64-bit processor to run 32-bit software... 
| Code: | | # emerge netscape-flash nspluginwrapper |
then
| Code: | | # nspluginwrapper -a |
Nspluginwrapper allows you to use 32-bit plugins with 64-bit firefox.

| Yep, it works flawlessly in konqueror as well, and probably most of the browsers supporting nsplugins. Just emerge netscape-flash and nspluginswrapper. You dont need to install anything by hand, all is in portage. |

I should have mentioned nspluginwrapper
But I found it very unstable the last time I tried it, hopefully it's much better now. Well, I have to try it again

I found nothing wrong with it lastly, but, anyway, your alternative is also valid.
Another alternative -the third- would be to install the berkano or gfn-overlays and install nsplugins32, which is basically a precompiled 32 bits version of nsplugins, that will accept 32 bits plugins -konqueror can communicate with this via dcop, and that is why it works-. Of course, if you do so, say bye to any other plugin that is not a 32 bits binary. So, I would try nspluginswrapper the first, if you have problems, install firefox-bin and try that. |

I followed what AaronPPC suggested, then restarted firefox and went to a link with a flash play requirement, and it still says "get flash".
| Quote: | | % nspluginwrapper -l |
returns nothing, so it looks as though the plugin was never installed. If I do a search for "flash", I end up with the following details:
| Quote: | /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so
/opt/netscape/plugins/flashplayer.xpt |
Is there another step I need to take to get this working with firefox?

Works like a charm here
Does it help if you restart Firefox? Or have you tried that already?
Btw: It's so much stable now than last time, thanks guys

| Code: | # nspluginwrapper -h
nspluginwrapper, configuration tool. Version 0.9.91.2
usage: nspluginwrapper [flags] [command [plugin(s)]]
-h --help print this message
-v --verbose flag: set verbose mode
-a --auto flag: set automatic mode for plugins discovery
-l --list list plugins currently installed
-u --update update plugin(s) currently installed
-i --install [FILE(S)] install plugin(s)
-r --remove [FILE(S)] remove plugin(s)
|
you should be able to use the --install option to get it installed
EDIT
you did not install flash with its ebuild, did you?
my flashplayer plugin is not located in /opt but in /usr/lib32/...
| Code: | # nspluginwrapper -l
/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
Original plugin: /usr/lib32/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Wrapper version string: 0.9.91.2
/usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
Original plugin: /usr/lib32/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Wrapper version string: 0.9.91.2

I originally installed it all with the following:
| Quote: | | % emerge netscape-flash nspluginwrapper |
Okay, did the following:
| Quote: |
% nspluginwrapper -i /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so
% nspluginwrapper -l
/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
Original plugin: /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Wrapper version string: 0.9.91.2
/usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
Original plugin: /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Wrapper version string: 0.9.91.2
|
I then went back into firefox and went to www.break.com and clicked on the first video. It opened up a screen like before (no longer shows the "get flash" icon), but it never starts playing, and I only ever see the pause [||] icon, never the [>] icon.
Not sure where to continue troubleshooting from here. I do not have pop-ups blocked for www.break.com.
Thoughts?

the videos on that site play fine on my box
there is no > (play) button while the video plays
so I guess the video is playing, but it doesn't show
some more info:

my /usr/lib32/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so is a link to the /opt directory, so those should be the same

Nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.3 hit portage. Maybe it will help.
| Code: | *[2007/03/04] nspluginwrapper 0.9.91.3
o Fix printing with EMBED plugins
o Fix build on Debian (Rob Andrews)
o Avoid hangs when the plugin is dead
o Use sound wrappers whenever possible on Linux (Flash Player 9) |
