If I use it for some flash games or widgets, it will lock up or crash and suddenly take up (or firefox takes up) 100% cpu

...flash does not crash nor acroread plugin but nspluginwrapper + flash pushes my laptop cpu to 100%... it usually stays at lowest freq with policy ondemand...

Flash works but there's no sound for me. Acroread works. I got mplayerplug-in working by doing what FictionPimp suggested.

ditto.

I guess this is the price of a half-measure solution...

Try it with no other instances of firefox open and no tabs open, thats how it crashes for me. However seems to work fine if I have more tabs.

It's locking up for me too randomly on websites with flash. At least win32 video, flash and pdf is working in 64bit firefox now. Let's just hope they can make this wrapper fully stable with flash. Here is an example of a webpage that locks up.

flash tends to lock up when i use an arrow key while its running in my browser window. not sure how to resolve the issue.

Stupid question, but does this plugin require a multilib environment? I've tried to run it in my pure 64-bit install, and I get nothing. If it should work, what exactly do I have to do to get it to run? It installs just fine, detects the plugin, lists it as installed... But Firefox will not acknowledge it.

It absolutely does. It's trying to run 32 executables and then translating messages back and forth.

Well, that's no fun. I wonder if there isn't a way to make it work, though. *hmm*

EDIT: Fix'd! I moved the i386/npviewer.bin to i386/npviewer.bin.bak, then inserted the following script in its place:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/mnt/gentoo32/lib:/mnt/gentoo32/usr/lib" /mnt/gentoo32/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/npviewer.bin.bak $@

It works beautifully for me. Hope this helps others with a pure 64-bit install.

You should send that to the developer (assuming he's still working on it)

thedopefishlives · Post by **thedopefishlives** » Sun Jan 22, 2006 3:34 am

Actually, what would be better (from my POV) would be to insert this script into the nspluginwrapper ebuild, since that's where the system would notice the difference between multilib and non-multilib builds. I'm afraid I don't know enough of the ebuild scripting to do that, though.

I'd like to say great work on this extension. Now I have no need to keep 32-bit Mozilla around.

Keep it up.

I have the below system which works perfectly in all ways except that the flash is pretty unreliable. Sometimes the flash animation just doesn't load (blank), sometimes it hangs the browser, sometimes it works. I emerged netscape-flash, setup an overlay with the nspluginwrapper, and emerged it too. Has anyone figured out what to do to make this work more reliably?

Yeah, my Flash is pretty flaky too. I haven't experimented with anything so I have no idea how to fix it.

I have gotten flash to work perfictly on my AMD64 install but I used a different route than you. I installed the x86 emulation files and the x86 Firefox-bin and the Netscape-Flash. If you want me to help you, I can post the files I emerged in order to get it to run.

nspluginwrapper + mozilla works like a charm :d
nspluginwrapper + firefox, instead, is not so good: I had this message in console:

Code: Select all

*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** ERROR: libnspr4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

since my default browser is firefox, I am a little sad

any suggestions?

bye

Um, no, this is the route everyone is trying to avoid, we don't want to be forced into using a 32bit firefox, hence the need for these flaky "workarounds".

any recent solution to the 'no-sound' problem when using
nspluginwrapper ??

piercey · Post by **piercey** » Fri Feb 17, 2006 2:56 pm

Get a sound card that supports alsa/oss mixing, or one with hardware mixing like the audigy's.

der_maddin · Post by **der_maddin** » Fri Feb 17, 2006 3:25 pm

well, i've got one that does alsa mixing ...
[ it's an integrated nforce3 ac97 ]

anyone having problems with the ebuild? I got a whole bunch of errors like this...

I'm new to third party ebuilds so I may have messed up setting it up but I dont think so.

Nspluginwrapper hangs my firefox often. I think it's very unstable yet. I don't suggest it to anyone.
