I have upgraded my 7.0-RELEASE system to RELENG_7 as of 02/19/2009. I had Firefox 2.0.0.12 installed before the upgrade. Then, I installed Adobe Flash 9 following the instructions here http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=51075+0+archive/2008/freebsd-emulation/20081102.freebsd-emulation
So I have linux_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf, compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 in /etc/sysctl.conf, and OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8 in /etc/make.conf, and the following line in /etc/fstab: linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 I then installed www/nspluginwrapper and www/linux-flashplugin9. The plugins showed up in Firefox when I type about:pugins as ---------- Shockwave Flash File name: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 9.0 r152 MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes ---------- After that, I can see flash videos on youtube and other websites. The problem is that when I close the tabs containing a flash video (most of the times when it is playing, but sometimes even when it is paused), npviewer.bin crashes with a core dump (npviewer.bin.core) in my home directory and it leaves a lot of zombie npviewer.bin processes running. Note that Firefox does not crash and is stable. At this stage, if I want to view another video, a gray box appears and nothing plays. If I kill all the zombie processes, the videos load and play just fine. Does anybody know what I should do to fix this? Thanks a lot :) _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
