Firefox and flash
Hi Has anyone had success in making work the flash and firefox, I downloaded and install the linux flashplugin 9 Even then flash does not seem to work, Apart from make install of this flash 9 , Are there any configuration stuff that we need to perform on firefox for the firefox to detect the newly installed flash9 in the process of install , it forced me to eliminated the old flash 7 using pkg_delete command. still no success on my laptop. total 1836 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Nov 30 01:51 .firefox.keep lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 42 Jan 6 16:24 flashplayer.xpt - ../npapi/linux-flashplugin/flashplayer.xpt lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 44 Jan 6 16:24 libflashplayer.so - ../npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 981 Jan 6 23:04 mplayerplug-in.xpt -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 281704 Jan 6 23:04 mplayerplug-in.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 981 Jan 6 23:04 mplayerplug-in-wmp.xpt -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 281608 Jan 6 23:04 mplayerplug-in-wmp.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 981 Jan 6 23:04 mplayerplug-in-rm.xpt -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 280552 Jan 6 23:04 mplayerplug-in-rm.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 981 Jan 6 23:04 mplayerplug-in-qt.xpt -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 280520 Jan 6 23:04 mplayerplug-in-qt.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 981 Jan 6 23:04 mplayerplug-in-gmp.xpt -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 280424 Jan 6 23:04 mplayerplug-in-gmp.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 981 Jan 6 23:04 mplayerplug-in-dvx.xpt -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 280296 Jan 6 23:04 mplayerplug-in-dvx.so # DOes any one has idea if in PC-BSD the flash and firefox works well. ?

Firefox and flash revisited. Don't shoot me for this post.
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 OK, let me preface this by saying flash 7 was marked broken for a reason (a very good one at that). I'm probably going to be stepping on some toes here and I'd like to apologize in advance. I've managed to install the broken port by changing a couple of files and using macromedia's own package. It was a no-brainer. I don't recommend doing this by any means. I've carried out this installation for two reasons, one was for development on an internal machine that never touches the net. Second because of the sheer volume of people asking about how to do this, I was curious to see if it could be done. I've detailed the process here: http://altbit.org/?p=207 Let me say again, that this is a VERY bad idea. There are serious implications in installing this port. Modification of the port's files could probably break something that I don't completely understand as well. Use this at your own risk. One last time, I'd like to apologize for stepping on any toes, but I understand the annoyance of this port not functioning. Thank you. cmh - -- C.M.

I need to read more about it. As for the PR, I didn't actually change anything but the Makefile and distinfo. If I could, I'd do something useful with flash but it's not open source, after all. I posted it because I know the feeling of frustration when something won't work. I prefaced it with the whole bad idea spill because it can still be used for internal purposes like I had previously mentioned (i.e. the development box at my office that never touches the net). I'm really sorry if I'm coming off wrong here. I'm probably not following etiquette too well. I'll look into a PR, though I don't know that it'll do much good. I'm not looking to start any wars, I just wanted to help out. cmh - -- C.M.

Re: firefox with flash and java!
Hello Beto, Thank you for the replay, Would you please kindly tell me where is the instruction written on which web? for future refrence. Second: You wrote that i should add the line /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6 to /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh take a note that its linux-flashplugin7 not 6 6 is not supported anymore. is it correct then? Whats the way to add the line, i have done the following is it correct ? MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins:/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins:/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7 Or it should be only MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7?? Third and last: After i did the past steps i tried to run firefox and i opened a page that contain flash then firefox crushed with an error /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/pluginwrapper/flash7.so: undefined symbol _dlsym So i proced to your last step and I did # cd /usr/src # patch rtld_dlsym_hack.diff # cd libexec/rtld-elf # make rtld Till here everything was Ok! when i tried to do make install it gave me an error.. # make install chflags noschg /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 install -s -o root -g wheel -m 555 -C -b -fschg -S ld-elf.so.1 /libexec install: ld-elf.so.1: No such file or directory *** Error code 71 Stop in /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf.

Hello Beto, Thank you again, for the quick replay, the last step has been done as root, but the error presented. after searching freebsd list i found the follow to command insted. cd /usr/src patch rtld_dlsym_hack.diff cd libexec/rtld-elf/ make cleanmake objmake depend make make install and after reboot it was perfect. Flash works fine. So thank you. I wrote here this way, it may help others who face the problem. I'v tested few sites and flash is working great, one of the sites, if you click on the flash ads that they have, it will open externel popup flash window for you to run a flash video clip on it, this one didnot work, I think it needs external flash player to run such thing is it correct? do you recommend any? with lot of thanks in advance.

Freebsd / FireFox / Macromedia Flash : The Quest
I m currently trying to figure how I m gonna have a Flash Plugin at my Firefox. I know there are like 5 or 6 threads on the mailing list archive about this , but some different than others , and some buggy! I see know that to have the linuxflashplugin pkg's installed I'm downloading like..zillions of Linux compatibility pkgs like gtk and atk rpms and much much more. Question is this : Why don't 'we' have a Freebsd native flash plugin and we need to run Linux compat stuff ? Is it a Macromedia Licence issue? Is it a Firefox issue ? Is it a freebsd team thing?

I've tried everything according to the FreeBSD handbook, mailing lists, etc, but still when there is a page with Flash, poor Firefox chokes and dies.

Weird. What gives? I assume you have the plugger port installed? Better yet, install the plugger-plugins-hubbe port. It's a meta-port that gets not only the plugger port, but all those needed for the various media types, like xanim and mplayer. The plugin management isn't exactly solid as a rock yet. Here's a few places to look: ls -lCF ~/.plugger: -r-xr-xr-x 1 leblanc leblanc 13516 Sep 16 15:50 plugger-5.1.3* -r-xr-xr-x 1 leblanc leblanc 9068 Sep 16 15:50 plugger-controller* -r-xr-xr-x 1 leblanc leblanc 2905 Sep 16 15:50 plugger-oohelper* -r--r--r-- 1 leblanc leblanc 18310 Sep 16 19:08 pluggerrc-5.1.3 If you have anything different, make sure your /usr/ports/www/plugger/ port is up to date, clean out ~/.plugger, and as your userid - with the port built - type 'make local-install'. This will repopulate ~/.plugger. Then there's this: ls -lCF /usr/X11/lib/browser-plugins/ lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 62 Sep 19 08:34 libjavaplugin_oji.so@ - /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 23952 Sep 16 15:48 npplugger.so* I know it seems a little sparse, but it does the trick for me. nplugger.so is the plugger interface, and libjavaplugin_oji.so is, of course, the java plugin. You'll want the JDK 1.4.2 port installed before worrying about this one. One big hangup I ran into at this point, was not having mplayer configured right. Check out `man mplayer` to check out the proper configuration - pay particular attention to the -vo switch. Use the /usr/local/share/mplayer/example.conf file, and modify the various flags that appear troublesome. You can figure this out by getting a .wmv or .mpeg URL and passing it to mplayer from the command line. If it helps, this is my vo setting: vo = sdl,x11,xv,gl,gl2 I should probably put gl2 at the beginning though . . .

Its my understanding that it seems to work well for many people. Some seem to have eternal troubles. I am presently experimenting with it on a test machine, and have had good results. I don't need flash... but my wife and kids do (playhousedisney.com, leapfrog.com, etc).
