As per the Handbook, a soft link in /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins to
/usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so.
nspluginwrapper -a -i runs normally.
linprocfs mounted, and nspluginwrapper -l shows
/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/libflashplayer.so.
But about:plugins shows nothing but the "default plugin".
Is something else necessary?
I think you ran nspluginwrapper as root. If you run it as a normal
user it puts the wrapped plugin in ~/.mozilla/plugins where Firefox
picks it up. If you run it as root it puts it in
/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins. Firefox 2.x and some other browsers
scan this directory, but newer versions don't for some reason. You have
to create a symlink in /usr/local/lib/firefox3/plugins/ to the
npwrapper plugin in /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/
That works!
I had first run nspluginwrapper -a -i as normal user, then as root.
The Handbook says:
--
Once the right Flash port, according to the FreeBSD version you run, is
installed, the plugin must be installed by each user with
nspluginwrapper:
% nspluginwrapper -v -a -i
--
So you should not run it as root.
Let me clarify: I did not run it as root until after it didn't work as a
normal user. Or at least I thought I didn't.
Now, having removed the link in /usr/local/lib/firefox3/plugins and
making sure that npwrapper.libflashplayer.so was not present in
/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins, nspluginwrapper and Flash as a normal
user works.
