i set up an ltsp server on debian squeeze. after a standard installation, sound doesn't work on clients.
[code]...
when i start iceweasel normally (executed on server side), i get sound on the client. when i start ltsp-localapps iceweasel, i get no sound on flash sites and videos videos.what's wrong ? with local apps, is it possible that the flashplugin-nonfree doesn't talk to alsa ?
i am a proud newbie user of debian linux. the desktop i use is xfce. i have iceweasel as the web browser. it cannot access flash content like videos videos and some others because the adobe flash plugin is not installed. i've done the following without success. i downloaded flash_player_10_linux.tar from adobe's site, unpacked it to get libflashplayer.so. but under /usr/lib/iceweasel, there is no plugins folder to put it in. there is, however, a broken link called plugins. then i created a plugins folder under home/myaccount/.mozilla and pasted the libflashplayer.so file over there. i restarted iceweasel, but it cannot still detect flash content.
then i ran apt-get install of jre and downloaded all java packages. however, while installation it gave an error saying, "cannot overwrite iceweasel/plugins". this came most probably because as mentioned earlier there is no plugins folder under iceweasel to begin with. on running the about : plugins command, i get "no plugins installed". i then deleted the plugins folder from .mozilla and directly pasted the libflashplayer.so file under usr/lib/iceweasel (since it contained many other .so files). how to enable iceweasel to enable the adobe flashplayer plugin.
I am not able to install JRE plug-in the rowser. Everytime plug-in finder service failig and asking to install manually.

- the first of them is the router (firewall, htb, squid, etc.)
- the second have installed apache2
- the third sql
- and the last one is LTSP server for 40 client.
When the ThinClient connect to the LTSP server ewerything works good, but i can't see all of them on squid access log. Isee one ip address (LTSP server), but i want to see 40 ip adrresses. The same situation is in htb. It's doesn't work on the thin client. Is there any way to get this work that how i want ?
I can play sound files with aplay, esdplay, and vlc, but I don't get any sound from iceweasel and chromium.
I installed a squeeze base system (without gnome and without the standard system utilities), then added (using --no-install-recommends) xserver-xorg-core, xdm, fluxbox, alsa-base, alsa-utils, alsa-oss, iceweasel, chromium-browser. Here I checked for sound and there was none from the browsers. I have since installed vlc, esound-clients, alsaplayer-esd, gstreamer0.10-alsa, and other software that didn't look sound-related and didn't change the symptoms.
Setting ICEWEASEL_DSP to "aoss" or "esddsp" doesn't help. Neither does "chmod -R 777 /dev/{audio,dsp,midi,mixer,snd}". snd-pcm-oss and snd-mixer-oss are loaded. Both my account and root are in group "audio". Running the browsers as root doesn't help.
This is the output of chromium:
In case it makes any difference, all of this happens in a qemu-kvm virtual machine with an emulated es1370 soundcard. Same with sb16 soundcard.
I would prefer not to install everything vaguely related to sound in the repositories in the hope of things fixing themselves. That's just ugly, plus I have only 200MB free space left.
I've been working on building an LTSP server for diskless booting. I have a tftp server that's booting the system. I followed the steps on [URL] .... to build the LTSP server.
I had to make one change from the guide. I have a cisco router that's acting as the DHCP, I'm not very familiar with Cisco IOS so instead of playing with that, I decided to modify the default file on the PXE.
I commented the kernel append line and added the following instead
/srv/tftp/ltsp/amd64/pxelinux.cfg/default
Code: Select allappend initrd=initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64 init=/sbin/init-ltsp root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.5.99:/opt/ltsp/amd64 ip=dhcp
I'm mounting the nfs as a rw file system for now. I'm planning to make it read only once I have it working the way I want. In addition to this, I also chroot into the LTSP root and installed lightdm + mate. As I understood what I read, this would boot the environment on the diskless system. All of this seem to work correctly.
What I need to do next is to find a way to setup the LTSP clients to log in by authenticating on the active directory. I understand that the login account used by the LTSP client has to exist on the LTSP server.
I have successfully added the LTSP server as a worksation within the windows domain and I can log into domain accounts from the LTSP server but domain credentials do not work when using an LTSP client, I can only log in if I use an account that exists on the LTSP server. I wanted to know if there is a way to accomplish AD authentication.
Do I have to build an LDAP server on the LTSP server, sync accounts with the Active Directory to be able to log in with AD credentials?
I've successfully built my server, and any fat or thin client that I connect to it boots wonderfully, with great response. I've gone through this exercise because we need a more efficient way of testing computers before delivery to our customers. So, I'm trying to run Passmark's BurnInTest. I've run it before with previous versions (9.something, I think) and it worked well, but I needed to build a new server so we can test more computers concurrently, so I figured I'd get the latest release.
My problem occurs when I try to run BurnInTest - it must have root access to test the local USB, parallel, and serial ports, and the optical drive. For the previous iteration I used a script that dropped into a local xterm session, su'd to a root session, and called the BiT GUI. In this attempt, the same scripts, even when I single-step them manually, results in 'authentication failure' when the su is attempted.
I have enabled the root account and created a password for it in the chroot /opt/ltsp/i386, and rebuilt the image, multiple times, no joy. Using ctrl-alt-F1 I can log in as root, and using dmesg I can see the USB device register when I connect it, so as far as I can tell the root account is alive and well, just not available in a local xterm session for some reason.
I have installed flash-plugin from rpmforge, video on flash sites works, but audio doesn't. Similarly neither the audio or mic works in skype. The soundcard is definitely recognised and I can change the levels using alsamixer. Furthermore, sound works in mplayer. Using CentOS 5.3 64bit fully up todate with rpmforge and adobe repositories enabled.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got a new pc after my two pc's decided to die. I have had them for many years, maybe around 2001. So, I am new to this 64 bit OS. I'm running squeeze amd64. I am having some troubles with flash in Iceweasel. It just stopped working one day. So, I downloaded Firefox to see if flash would work in it. Here's the interesting thing. Iceweasel will play flash. I will close the browser and reopen to discover it no longer wants to play flash. I'll open Firefox, then close it. I'll then open Iceweasel and Flash will work in Iceweasel again.
This happens often. To get Flash to work, I just close Iceweasel, open Firefox, close Firefox, open Iceweasel and go to a flash site and all is good. Is there something I can do to get Flash to always work without opening Firefox?
Iceweasel now crashes (closes altogether) if I try to play embedded flash video (64bit Debian testing).My wife runs stable Debian so I copied her cached iceweasel (iceweasel_3.5.16-7_amd64.deb) and downgraded my own and put it on hold and the video all works again.Are others having this problem?I have just tried embedded video on Archlinux Firefox 4.0.1 and it works fine...now I'm really confused!
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn my frustration to get adobe flash working in firefox I deleted the /usr/lib/flash-plugin folder. Now when I try to uninstall "Flash-Plugin" from YAST it fails as it can't find the sub-folder. I also cannot install the latest version of flash player as it says that it is already installed - So I am stuck in a loop.
I am running SUSE 11.2.
Is there a config file of installed programs that I can modify to remove the "Flash-Plugin" entry, or is there another way to get over this problem.
My 32-bit Ubuntu 9.10 [Karmic Koala] LTSP server has two NICs, one with Dynamic IP set by a DSL modem and the other with static IP of 192.168.0.254. I also have 4 thin Clients that boot from this server without any problems and another computer with Ubuntu 9.04 running some PHP programs with dynamic IP given by the same DSL modem. When I send requests to these PHP programs from thin clients, they all give the LTSP server's dynamic IP as their IP so I cannot trace who has sent this request to response back.
I actually know this is logical. Because the requests are sent by a program that's actually running on the LTSP server rather than the thin client. But my question is How can I run a program on a thin client with it's own IP? I also should mention that the dhcp3-server service running on the LTSP server has no conflicts with the DSL dhcp on the network and I know that the 4 thin clients get the IPs ranging from 192.168.1.101 through 192.168.1.104 from the dhcp3-server service. Because I can ping them while they're on. but /sbin/ifconfig on them shows info about the LTSP server.
I have a big problem with the flash plugin... Since a couple of weeks ..... and some internet sites with flash content don't work... sounds load and playback correctly but I see a grey square instead of the video.
One weird thing is that ..... videos work perfectly when tagged/embedded in another site, such as facebook or a gmail chat, but on the ..... official site I can't see a thing.

After using testing (now Wheezy) for almost a year and breaking my machine (latest nvidia broken packages), I went back to vanilla Squeeze (after updates, now at 6.02).Nothing from outside the stable repos; not even the nvidia driver (kept it at default and nouveau)Repo "deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable main non-free" enabled.It seems flash is not working with iceweasel; I either have a message which says "Cannot play media: you do not have the correct version of the flash player. Download the correct version," with a link to Adobe's site, of media appears in broken pieces.In order to keep my system "clean," I haven't downloaded anything from Adobe, and a search on this forum suggested installing flashplugin-nonfree or flashplayer-mozilla. Did both (can't have them at the same time), restarted, no joy.
~$ apt-cache policy flashplayer-mozilla
flashplayer-mozilla:
Installed: 2:10.3.181.26-0.1

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Edubuntu server with two nics joined to the primary windows domain and I can log on with domain credentials and everything is AOK. I used LikewiseOpen 6 to join the server to the primary domain. So, on my Edubuntu server eth1 is connected to the primary domain and has a static IP. eth2 also has a static IP and is the DHCP for the thin client subnet, connected to a switch. IP forwarding is enabled.
DOMAIN - eth1 - Edubuntu Server - eth2 (SUBNET) - switch - clients
So far, so good: I can log on the thin clients with one of the local accounts specified on the Edubuntu server and with that account I can surf the net and, if I supply domain credentials, browse the primary domain. Problem I have is:
I can't work out how to log on to the primary domain with a Active Directory account directly from a thin client. If I try DOMAINuser to log on, after giving the password, the password screen refreshes and 'domainuser@11.*.21.*'s password' appears under the blank password box. The IP in that message is the IP for the subnet and not the primary domain. I feel like I'm miss-understanding some basic simple step but I just can't figure it out.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out Apparmor,in doing so I've seen that there are no pre-configured profiles for Iceweasel,but there are two for Firefox in /usr/share/doc/apparmor-profiles/extras/ : Will it work if I simply replace "iceweasel" for "firefox" and set those profiles to complain mode,just to see what will eventually happen? Is that too obvious?

I installed Debian 8.1 with iceweasel 38.2.1esr-1~deb8u1
Whenever I want to open a youtube fragment I do hear the sound but the screen just remains green. I already googled the issue but found no solution that works.
I dislike Iceweasel as it has older versions, so I installed Firefox 4.0.1 on my new install of Debian Sid. Downloaded the tar.bz2 package, unpacked it in opt, linked /usr/bin/firefox to /opt/firefox/firefox, figured out why it wasn't running (it needed ia32-libs-gtk), got it to run, and now it doesn't see the flash plugin.
My usual technique was to put firefox in opt, close it, then aptitude-install flashplugin-nonfree, which pulled the plugin and made it work with both Iceweasel and Firefox. But right now, only Iceweasel has the flash plugin installed.
I found libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/; usually I'd try copying it in /opt/firefox/plugins, or ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins, but neither of these directories exist. In fact, I can't seem to find a dedicated plugin directory anywhere firefox-related. What do I do?
I have downloaded the beta for Flash 10 for Linux. I unarchived the tarball and put it in my home directory. Where should I put the plugin file in order for my browsers to be able to use it?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently upgrade to Jessie and instead of installing Chrome from the google site I decided it was best to install Chromium from the Debian contrib and/or non-free repositories. After installing I then found that i had to install the pepperflash plugin. I find that viewing flash content ( I wanted to watch the SpaceX launch from the NASA website this morning) is almost impossible. The sound comes through okay, but the video comes through at about one frame per second. Fortunately I had Iceweasel as a backup.
Since Chromium does not support the NPAPI flash plugin, that is used by Iceweasel, are there other options? I can delete Chromium and install Chrome but I have heard there are issues with Chrome and Jessie. Perhaps I should just give up on Chrome/Chromium altogether, even though I think the web page presentation is much better with Chrome.
Things I have tried:
Uninstall and reinstall the pepperflash plugin
Changed flash settings
By the way, I don't have problems with Youtube because I receive HTML5 content from there. Maybe I should contact NASA and get them to broadcast HTML5.
after i leave firefox on for some hours (the amount of time varies between a couple of hours to a day), when i try to use flash, for example in videos, it plays the first second of the video and then goes into a sound loop of that 1 second of sound that continues even after i stop the video. it takes about 30 seconds for it to stop. at other times, if i've left a video paused in the middle and start it again after some hours, it goes through the rest of the video in just a few seconds like it is in fast forward. the sound is messed up just like in the other case.
the problem clears up completely after i restart firefox. i have tried changing the flash plugins but this usually leads to other problems. right now i'm using the default plugin file name: libflashplayer.so shockwave flash 10.1 r102 i only had this problem in debian, its been going on for months now and i have absolutely no idea what causes it to happen. it seems completely random. when i have only two or three tabs open its a slight nuisance but restarting firefox with 50 tabs open just takes too long.
