Thanks, for your quick replies. Since I didn't have the /usr/ports/www/linux-f10-flashplugin11 port on my system, I first had to upgrade my ports collection. Interestingly enough, the portupgrade tool didn't get me the new port so I used the portsnap utility which finally brought it to me. Just to recap, I now essentially took the following steps to get it working: # echo 'linux_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf Reboot # echo "compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16" >> /etc/sysctl.conf # service sysctl restart # make install clean -C /usr/ports/www/linux-f10-flashplugin11 # cd /usr/ports/www/nspluginwrapper && make install clean # nspluginwrapper -v -a -i The unfortunate thing about all this, is that it still doesn't work, i.e. what actually happens is that Konqueror upon hitting a Flash video just exits/crashes. Maybe someone on this list knows more? PS: I always thought that even though portsnap and portupgrade are different programs, they are essentially there for same purpose!?!? _______________________________________________ kde-freebsd mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd See also http://freebsd.kde.org/ for latest information
