That may be an issue with v304. I'm guessing you had no problems with
v295 drivers.

nvidia and flash plugin problem

2012-10-02 Thread David Demelier

Hello,

I have a nvidia GT 630 and use the flash plugin, I've got a very strange 
problem, on youtube (or any flash video), the colors are just broken.


See:

One thing more, it is *very* *very* strange, if I open a new firefox

 I am running firefox via ssh. Currently I successfully redirected
 sound of other applications using NAS. How can I do the same with
 flash? Maybe intercept sound some how.

The flash plugin sound goes through libflashsupport, which is a small
open source library that allows anyone to implement any sound backend.

The libflashsupport currently installed by the flash plugin port
(/compat/linux/usr/lib/libflashsupport.so) only supports OSS now. With
any luck somebody has already implemented NAS support and all you have
to do is replace this library. In case you want to implement it
yourself, you can find the source code for our (slightly patched)
libflashsupport at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/127839
Note that the library has to be compiled as a Linux library, not a
FreeBSD one.

An alternative would be to experiment with libaudiooss, which allows
capturing OSS output from any program and send it over NAS. This project
looks abandoned though.

Why don't you just use something like dl-youtube, and then use mplayer or
something to view the video?

firefox3 hangs up while running flash plugin

HI,
   just had this feeling that whenever there is a flash plugin,
firefox3 hangs up pretty bad. I remove a link under
/usr/local/lib/firefox3/plugins to disable plugin, firefox hangs no
more. is this because most flash plugins are upgraded from 9 to 10?

How to make flash plugin work in linux-firefox

2008-06-10 Thread Yuri

I have linux-firefox-2.0.0.14 installed.
I also downloaded install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz from Adobe site, 
unpacked and placed libflashplayer.so into:

/usr/local/lib/linux-firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so

But firefox (/usr/local/bin/linux-firefox) doesn't pick it up and flash 
sites don't work.


How to make Flash plugin work?

I recall on Linux it's enough to just drop libflashplayer.so into 
plugins directory somewhere under lib and it works.

You should install none of them. Install the (linux application) port
you need instead and the port's (infrastructure) system will do the
right thing.

If you install a linux application then linux_base-fc4 will be
installed as a dependency. This is the most stable version since it's
intended to work with 2.4 kernel emulation.  If you want to try one of
the later fedora[-core] ports, which use 2.6 kernel emulation, you need
to read UPDATING.

I'm not sure how well Flash 9 actually works under 2.6 kernel
emulation, but it doesn't work well under 2.4. Flash 7 work under
either.

I notice that you have both versions of Firefox. That's OK, but you can only

What I have at the moment is native Firefox and linux-opera. I found that 
linux-firefox had unclear fonts - possibly they weren't properly

Just in case, you didn't read my reply to the original post. There is
no version of the adobe flash plug-in for Linux that doesn't contain
critical vulnerabilities. Running a more secure version of Flash depends
on Adobe releasing Flash 9 for Linux.

translate this page to english, but I don't have a link to it.  I don't
do portinstall though, so add the packages whichever way you like.  This

 Try starting firefox from a terminal and see if you get plugin errors before

 everything and did an install with the fixed port and none of the plugins 
 worked. I uninstalled again and reinstalled with the stock port and still 
 nothing. Startup shows errors on all the linux plugins. I think something 
 else has changed, but I'm not sure what. Even my fixes don't work anymore.

Finally got time to look into this again tonight. I was getting errors,
and the first round suggested that I needed to change libmap.conf from:

[/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/libflashplayer.so]

to:

[/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/libflashplayer.so]

After that, about:plugins was showing Flash 7, but Firefox would crash
when I loaded a site with flash. I then applied rtld_dlsym_hack.diff and
now it appears to be working. For the time being. Heh.

kmplayer and gmplayer handle it perfectly. Xine handles it but doesn't 
sound quite as good (lot of tinkering that can be done there though).


Totem plays it but its only tolerable if you really like chipmunks.

  You probably won't understand it but Xeoax, Oaxaca is the only
  realaudio stream that I listen to.

 kmplayer and gmplayer handle it perfectly. Xine handles it but
 doesn't sound quite as good (lot of tinkering that can be done there
 though).

 Totem plays it but its only tolerable if you really like chipmunks.


Even mplayer will play it if you get past the message about 
~/.mplayer/subfont.tttf.

If you can play it, the application works over the network. I have been 
known to record the news from Oaxaca, México and burn a CD for friends 
from there. It is a kind of poke in the ribs to get them on the 
Internet. It hasn't worked yet but I keep trying :).

If realplayer won't work with firefox, the relationship between firefox 
preferences  download actions and audio/x-pn-realaudio is screwed up. 
You should be able to point the firefox file action to anything that 
will play a realaudio file type. This is also true for mp3 file 
actions.

Before I did any of this, I added links to nphelix.so and nphelix.xpt 
in /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins 
and /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins

I don't know which one made the difference. I tweaked until I could see 
the plugins in mozilla. I am also using the default libmap.conf for the 
version [56]-stable.

At any rate, firefox-1.5_5,1 will play *.ram files on all of my systems 
(with sound cards, speakers and either 5-stable or 6-stable) when I 
visit websites with realaudio *.ram files. The only problem is that the 
realaudio sites I listen to are folklóric sites from Columbia and 
Venezuela. This includes winamp playlists using xmms.

I haven't made mozilla work but then I don't miss the capability 
either :).

Re: flash plugin in 6.0

2005-12-22 Thread Scott I. Remick
I had Flash6 working but have need to try Flash7 (I know it might crash,
but some sites I use require at least Flash7). But I can't get it to work
at all.

I uninstalled linuxpluginwrapper and linux-flashplugin6 before I started.

I've tried Beecher's instructions and about:plugins still doesn't show any
Flash. This is using Firefox 1.5 on FreeBSD 6.0R.

Any suggestions?

Try starting firefox from a terminal and see if you get plugin errors before 
it starts. I was working on that port locally to fix the paths. I uninstalled 
everything and did an install with the fixed port and none of the plugins 
worked. I uninstalled again and reinstalled with the stock port and still 
nothing. Startup shows errors on all the linux plugins. I think something 
else has changed, but I'm not sure what. Even my fixes don't work anymore.

Here's the startup errors I'm getting:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared 
library 
/usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so

Any input would be appreciated.

While not directly related to the point its possible to listen to 
realaudio streams just fine without linux compatibility or resorting to 
windows. Look into mplayer, mplayer-plugin, xine, kmplayer, gmplayer and 
perhaps even xmms.

I have no problems running realplayer installed from the ports. The helix

would start by making sure your ports are up to date and reinstalling 
linux-fontconfig. If that doesn't work portupgrade -rf linux-realplayer and

 I have no problems running realplayer installed from the ports. The
 helix plugin doesn't work with Firefox or Mozilla, but realplay works
 standalone. I would start by making sure your ports are up to date
 and reinstalling linux-fontconfig. If that doesn't work portupgrade
 -rf linux-realplayer and it will rebuild everything that depends on
 it. Also do a pkgdb -F to make sure your dependency database is OK. I
 didn't have any config problems with fontconfig, and didn't have to
 tweak anything. Sounds like something else is wrong.

I have no problem with the plugins. What I have is
/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins/nphelix.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins/nphelix.xpt
/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/nphelix.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/nphelix.xpt
/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/nphelix.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/nphelix.xpt

Most of them are links and I don't know which directory is the important 
one but I click on an ram and it plays.

Kent

  Moreover, I have no interest in learning XML, then cutting and
  pasting various config files together out of what little
  documentation exists for fontconfig.  The documentation is so poor
  that I have no idea what I am doing anyway.   Searches on Google
  and the mailing lists were no help either.
 
  It is very frustrating.  I concur that some of these programs are
  just not desktop ready.  At this rate I am never going to be able
  to get rid of XP on my laptop.

Re: flash plugin in 6.0 / realplayer fontconfig (FIXED)

2005-12-19 Thread Beecher Rintoul
SNIP
  
   The linux-realplayer won't start because it can't find any fonts and
   it tells me to fix fontconfig.  I never had problems with fonts before
   fontconfig came into being.  I really have no idea why it exists.
 
  I have no problems running realplayer installed from the ports. The helix
  plugin doesn't work with Firefox or Mozilla, but realplay works
  standalone. I would start by making sure your ports are up to date and
  reinstalling linux-fontconfig. If that doesn't work portupgrade -rf
  linux-realplayer and it will rebuild everything that depends on it. Also
  do a pkgdb -F to make sure your dependency database is OK. I didn't have
  any config problems with fontconfig, and didn't have to tweak anything.
  Sounds like something else is wrong.

 Thank you Beecher.

 I did a recursive portupgrade and it works now.  Hurray!

 Rob.

You're welcome. I always upgrade anything linux recursively. Since most of the 
apps are packages you sometimes end up with either bad or wrong lib links if 
you don't.

That port is borked, here's what you have to do to get it working:

## Workaround for broken port linuxpluginwrapper.

## Before building linuxpluginwrapper:

rm -R /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins

ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins


## Build linuxpluginwrapper:

cd /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper

make -DWITH_PLUGINS install clean

## or upgrade:

portupgrade -vm -DWITH_PLUGINS linuxpluginwrapper

## Remove symlink (will break Mozilla).

rm -rf /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins


## Fix acroread:

rm -rf /usr/local/bin/acroread  # If upgrade.

mv  /usr/local/bin/acroread7  /usr/local/bin/acroread

rm -rf /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/nppdf.so

ln 
-s  
/usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so 
/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/nppdf.so

## Change path to nppdf.so in /etc/libmap.conf:

# Acrobat7 with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany/Konqueror
[/usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so]
 
libc.so.6   pluginwrapper/acrobat.so


## Acroread now works properly in browser.
## Helix plugin does not work with Firefox or Mozilla at this time. 
## Flash 6.0 works without modification.
## Flash7 is VERY unstable and will crash Firefox (possibly Mozilla).

## Launch browser and type about:plugins without the quotes to check that 
plugins are enabled.

Yes it is.  While some things work, it still does not create the
proper symbolic link for the acrobat plugin, nor is the path
for it correct in the sample libmap.confs.  Beecher's fix will correct.

The only thing it doesnt do is create symbolic links which does not mark
a port as BROKEN for one, secondly why would you remove your

I don't have any problem with these 2 sites. Maybe
it's your Java plugin that messes things up. Try
disabling it for a while (just comment out lines
in the java section in libmap.conf). I think 1.5.0
can still be very unstable.

As for running under root, I didn't mean in the
root login environment. Just startx as a user
then open xterm, type su (not su - or
su - root), enter pass and try firefox.

Up untill i installed the flash plugin my broswer was running completly 
stable, it has only since the installation of flash become unstable, which 
unf seems to be the case since i been trying to use flash since i ran FreeBSD

 Did you edit libmap.conf?

 If yes, you'll have to send us the output of
 `uname -a`, `firefox` and about:plugins in
 firefox.

errr .. didnt see anything about editing anything, had window close after port 
was installed .. so i guess thats a no.

Many things are still missing for FreeBSD/amd64 to
be a desktop OS. I'm not involved into any development,
but I think that enabling Flash is nowhere near the top
priorities.

imhoLet Adobe keep it's narrow view of things -
I'll vote with my money for AJAX and against Flash,
Java and other proprietary horseshit./imho

This setup works flawlessly for me on several

So let's debug it. Send us
`uname -a`
`cat /etc/libmap.conf`
`firefox`

Last time I upgraded that port, I found the location of the flash plugin had 
changed. I meant to email the maintainer to suggest an entry in UPDATING 
about it, but I don't think I got around to doing that.
Anyway, check that the plugin really exists where your libmap.conf says it is.
I found it had changed from /usr/local/lib to /usr/X11R6/lib so the flash 
section of my libmap.conf now looks like:

# Flash6 with Konqueror (temporary setting)
# old setting:- [/usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so]
[/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so]
libpthread.so.0 pluginwrapper/flash6.so
libdl.so.2  pluginwrapper/flash6.so
libz.so.1   libz.so.2
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3libstdc++.so.4
libm.so.6   libm.so.3
libc.so.6   pluginwrapper/flash6.so

Hope that helps.

The normal answer is that the only ports that handle flash well are the 
genuine macromedia linux-plugins, www/linux-flashplugin6 (or7). However that 
normally requires the use of the linux plugin wrapper, which is marked as 
i386 only. Since the plugins themselve are for i386 and amd64 I suspect it 
can be done.  If you can't find a how-to on google, and don't get a better 
answer here, then try the freebsd-amd64 list.

Flash plugin

2005-06-13 Thread Ben Paley
Hello,

First, sorry - I know there's a thread about this already, but I just noticed 
I had empty trash on exit ticked in my mail client (doh!), so I can't find 
it...

I've got a brand new (1 week and a bit) install of 5.4-RELEASE, and I'm 
driving myself mad trying to get some flash content in some browser or 
other... I've got opera 8, mozilla 1.7 and firefox 1.0.4, and konqueror 
3.4.0, and I would be _really_grateful for any help.

Thanks,
Ben

I got this working for mozilla by installing two ports:

www/linuxpluginwrapper
www/linux-flashplugin

Can't help you with opera or konqueror, but this should do it for 
mozilla; most likely firefox as well.

There seem to be lot mozilla/firefox choices in the ports tree.. which 
version(s) did you use and what version of freebsd are you running?
I am just recompiling firefox in the hope of getting flash working.
I am using /usr/ports/firefox but am now wondering if I should be compiling 
linux-firefox?
