 Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2017 1:51 pm Post subject: adobe flash & firefox driving me nuts...[Solved] |
 |
|
Because flash started to failed for a while in firefox, it appeared | Code: | equery u abobeflash
!!! No packages matching 'abobeflash'
n ~ # [1] equery u adobeflash
!!! No packages matching 'adobeflash'
n ~ # [1] equery u adobe-flash
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[ : I - package is installed with flag ]
[ Colors : set, unset ]
* Found these USE flags for www-plugins/adobe-flash-24.0.0.194:
U I
- - abi_x86_32 : 32-bit (x86) libraries
+ + abi_x86_64 : 64-bit (amd64) libraries
- - kde : Install a KCM plugin for configuring flash player preferences
+ + nsplugin : Install the Netscape Flash API plugin (for Firefox and
similar browsers)
+ + ppapi : Install the Pepper Flash API plugin (for Chrome and similar
browsers) |
ppapi had to be activated. Didn't try to inhibit nplugin to see if it would work still.
The 2nd point is that firefox reports both adobe-flash 13.1-r2 & 24.0 are both installed.
Any advice?
Thks 4 ur attention.

Adobe ended up changing so that Flash-24 actually supports Firefox directly and no longer need the translation layer.
If you want to use with Firefox and have no intent on using with Chromium, you can install adobe-flash-24 with USE="nsplugin -ppapi" and you do not need Flash 11.1 anymore, it's OK to unmerge 11.1.

Ugh. You probably have an orphan or self-install(untracked by portage) file somewhere. Try creating a fresh account and see if just version 24 shows up. If it does, you know your regular account is the problem.
If it still shows up on a fresh account, then you'll have to poke around your filesystem to find the offending libflashplayer.so ... you could just search for it, or snoop around /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins or /opt/Adobe/flash-player for old files...
