Looks as if this came up earlier - .http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnash-dev/2009-10/msg00093.html Summary: add the flashblock extension (this means you have to start each flash video, which is probably a good thing if you frequent sites like /. that can hve flash in their adverts and you compile at hte same time! then add greasemonkey (I'd had misgivings about doing this in the past, but it seems low risk provided you check the scripts you add for it and finally get the script from http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/60531 Tested on both x86 (LFS-6.4-ish) and x86_64 (pure64, mostly clfs from September). [changing the subject here...] One problem out of the way, now I just have to make sense of my attempt to build parts of gnome-2.28 and I'll be good to resume building. FWIW, I tried a minimal gnome, based on what I'd been using for 2.26. GConf2 needs hal, or something else I'd rather not have, so I stuck with 2.26 for that. Everything built, but yelp/help in applications was generally b0rken. For me, the idea was to use webkit in epiphany, so that I don't have to rebuild that every time I rebuild gecko. Works, but can't reliably save passwords (a known problem). Yelp-webkit has now been merged upstream (available from debian), but that didn't work either. And to cap it all, I still needed nss/nspr for something (totem, I think), so doing without xulrunner didn't work. Maybe I'll just go back to plain 2.26 for now, I can't say that I saw any other "must have" features in gnome 2.28. Perhaps, by the time gnome-2.30 comes out, I'll be reconciled to hal and ready to try pulse audio, but for now I'd rather have something straightforward and simple that just works. ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
