Hello, Restarting my own thread.
Since nspluginwrapper can't be backported from Sid/Lenny to Etch, I've gone ahead and installed an etch-ia32 chroot on my etch-amd64 Athlon box. I'm running Konqueror and needing to access some sites that require flashplayer. In the chroot, I installed the same konqueror packages and nspluginwrapper. I installed the flashplayer-nonfree. Flashplayer non-free downloaded the flash player but didn't actually put it into its /usr/lib/flashplayer-nonfree directory so that the symlinks that it places in e.g. /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ are left dangling. I removed and reinstalled (still had the debs in the cache) and this time gave it the name of the tarball that I had already downloaded (same version) and this time it placed the files correctly. I tried http://www.thenorthface.com/ca/ but it still didn't work. Then I remembered that I also had libflash-mozplugin installed. It was taking precedence but wasn't actually able to display the page. Purged that package and now it works. To complete the trial, I manually copied the flashplayer-nonfree and symlinks from /srv/chroot/etch-ia32/usr/lib into the /usr/lib to see if the amd64 Konqueror would be able to do anything with the plugins in the presence of the ia32-libs packages. I purged the ia32-libs since I have a full ia-32 chroot to play with now. So this is in a way a [FAILED] report in that to view flash sites I had to install a chroot that takes up 491 MB (I put /srv on its own LV) instead of a simple wrapper package that work for sid. However, at the end of the day, it is a [SOLVED] report in that I can view flash sites. Note, however, that while I can view thenorthface.com, the adobe test page thats supposed to verify that your flashplayer is working, doesn't work. Oh well. Thanks again to all of you who helped me work through this. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
