Closing. If needed reopen it or file a new one. Cheers, Gabriele -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#524050: mozilla-plugin-gnash: plugin not detected by iceweasel
I suspect this is caused by the firefox/iceweasel plugin cache, causing firefox to not discover new plugins as they are installed. Try to stop iceweasel, remove ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/pluginreg.dat and start it again, and see if the situation changes. This issue might be a duplicate of bug #547706.

Bug#524050: mozilla-plugin-gnash: plugin not detected by iceweasel
And yes, I did a 'aptitude purge flashplugin-nonfree' just before installing the gnash plugin. I think that's the common point of all the failures of that kind that I've seen and heard of, both in gnash and swfdec. I'll try to look deeper into that but that seems to be somehow the cause. That doesn't seem to be the case on my Debian 5.0.2 Lenny installation. I didn't have the flashplugin-nonfree installed (and don't think I ever did) but I did have the swfdec package installed. I wanted better flash support so I installed gnash and restarted iceweasel. It was still using swfdec and I couldn't select gnash in the application preferences. When I found this bug report I checked that I had a symlink /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flash-mozilla.so - /etc/alternatives/flash-mozilla.so and found that the other symlink was /etc/alternatives/flash-mozilla.so - /usr/lib/swfdec-mozilla/libswfdecmozilla.so so I deleted /etc/alternatives/flash-mozilla.so and made a new symlink /etc/alternatives/flash-mozilla.so - /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so Upon restarting iceweasel I now have no flash support whatsoever so I changed back to swfdec. Any suggestions appreciated, I'm willing to test. Greetings and thanks, Pete
