 Posted: Sat Aug 14, 2010 4:46 pm Post subject: [solved] Flash in Firefox on AMD64 |
 |
|
How do we do this these days? On my system, it was working untill recently when adobe released version 10.1 or something.
nspluginwrapper is installed on my system. I don't know what it's role is, and it hasn't made any visible impact on the about:plugins page in my firefox. Do I need to use firefox-bin or is (self-compiled) firefox OK too?

| Code: | | emerge adobe-flash nspluginwrapper |
suggest emerge nspluginwrapper anytime browser plugins go strange
there is a harder way to replugin the 32 bit plugins, why bother? |

Same here. I had seamonky 64bit compiled running adobe flash perfectly without any problems by using nspluginwrapper so far, but the latest system/world update shreddered flash completely. Even firefox-bin 32-bit does not show flash videos anymore, even http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html refuses to work.
Each and every flash object has if I righ click it
| Quote: | Movie not loaded ...
About Adobe Flash Player 10 ... |
If I start firefox-bin or seamonky from xterm, then I see this warning/error:
Adobe Flash Player error: could not load cURL library
Note, that firefox-bin located at /opt does not carry any curl libraries with it and I only have 64 bit curl libs at my system. That is the error I assume. Can anybody verify that?

Firefox-bin with Flash works fine** on my amd64 system. I am using nspluginwrapper. Did you emerge adobe-flash with the multilib USE flags enabled? Oddly enough, my adobe-flash has multilib enabled but nspuginwrapper disabled yet it seems to work fine.**
I don't have any libcurl's under /opt/firefox. But I do have a /usr/lib32/libcurl.so that is part of the app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs package that was brought in by firefox-bin (and a bunch of other packages).
**Well, flash is a little crashy so I have a button on my desktop to killall libflashplayer.so. When I'm done with one tv episode and I remember to hit this button before playing the next episode then I avoid the crashes. |

Oops, locate wasn't telling the truth (I have to investigate why), I do have /usr/lib32/libcurl.so, too.
| Quote: | $ emerge -pv adobe-flash
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.1.82.76-r1 USE="(multilib) nspluginwrapper" 0 kB
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB
|
So now, I am lost. Why the heck does adobe-flash report a problem with curl, here?

Here is the output of nspluginwrapper -l on my system: | Code: | $ nspluginwrapper -l
/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
Original plugin: //opt/Adobe/flash-player32/libflashplayer.so
Plugin viewer: /usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer
Wrapper version string: 1.3.0
/usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
Original plugin: //opt/Adobe/flash-player32/libflashplayer.so
Plugin viewer: /usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer
Wrapper version string: 1.3.0 |
Do you have something similar? Also, someone had the same problem on slackware and it was caused by problems with some pango files under /etc/. Here is the contents of my /etc/pango: | Code: | ls -R /etc/pango
/etc/pango:
i686-pc-linux-gnu/ pangox.aliases x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/
/etc/pango/i686-pc-linux-gnu:
pango.modules
/etc/pango/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu:
pango.modules |
The /etc/pango/i686-pc-linux-gnu/pango.modules file does not belong to any package (according to equery). Perhaps the running of some program generates that file. |

The content of my /etc/pango/i686-pc-linux-gnu/pango.modules already equals to pango-querymodules32.

looks well to me.
In between I have strace -fo out firefox-bin and concerning curl I have:

Do you guys where adobe-flash runs fine have these USE flags for net-misc/curl-7.21.0? USE="gnutls ipv6 ldap ssl threads"?
ready with revdep-rebuilding
...looks good:
* Checking dynamic linking consistency
[ 29% ] * broken /usr/lib32/GConf/2/libgconfbackend-evoldap.so (requires libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libssl.so.0.9.
[ 33% ] * broken /usr/lib32/krb5/plugins/preauth/pkinit.so (requires libcrypto.so.0.9.
[ 35% ] * broken /usr/lib32/libcurl.so.4.2.0 (requires libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libssl.so.0.9.
[ 36% ] * broken /usr/lib32/libldap-2.4.so.2.5.2 (requires libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libssl.so.0.9.

I have curl-7.20.0-r2 with USE="gnutls ssl".
The only file I have mentioned in your strace is the same one you have. When I strace firefox-bin there are only two hits for "curl": | Code: | $ grep curl out
11589 open("/opt/firefox/libcurl.so.4", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
11589 open("/usr/lib32/libcurl.so.4", O_RDONLY) = 14 |
Revdep-rebuild sounds like an excellent idea. I had assumed your system was up-to-date. |

Shame on me  . I can't tell how often I do have revdep-rebuilded my system after system/world update just to be shure or after things weren't running so well. Only this time I haven't done so nor did I think on that earlier. The latest openssl revdep-rebuild suggested by emerge was, let's say, complicated and I thought I was ready with that and apparently I wasn't.
I am pretty shure, after _this_ revdep-rebuild, the adobe-flash error will be gone. *Update* And yes, it is.
Thanks, guys for assisting me. The only hope I have is that this thread will be help for another guy like me 
@wilsonsamm: Can you mark this thread [SOLVED] if revdep-rebuild helps you too?

Oh I simply remerged nspluginwrapper and flash now works fine.
And it uses "only" 40% of my CPU time as opposed to nearing 90% before on a 2GHz AMD Sempron. |

I switched to gnash. Works just like piece of crap in many cases, but I managed to get youtube working anyway. With couple of hidden options you can enable HW acceleration too and therefore you can watch youtube videos in full screen with full frame rate. Better than adobe flash in that way. Most of the time gnash are very slow to start play anything, and it seems to be crashed for something like 30-60 seconds before it starts to play the video. Some other video services than youtube seems to be working too, but it's quite big possibility that they don't.
I'm using latest unstable version of gnash, and added these lines to ~/.gnashrc to get acceleration working.
| Code: |
set HWAccel xv
set Renderer opengl
|
Somehow without another of those options, the video didn't work properly. |

| Posted: Tue Aug 31, 2010 4:40 pm Post subject: I got flash player working with nspluginwrapper....sound too |
|
|
I downloaded the tarball from adobe and copied the libflashplayer.so to Original plugin: /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so and renamed it with the npwrapper. infront of it.....and then linked it with nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
and everything seemed to work seamlessly, sound and everything.
Just wanted to post this, even though other people have posted close to the same to this, to help other people with the same troubles. After I linked the one npwrapper.libflashplayer.so everything worked and showed up in other places when I did nspluginwrapper -l command.
Hope this helps .....if there is any other questions let me know. I will post my make.conf below. If any other info is needed let me know.
