Fedora :: Won't Let Me Remove Gnash / Force It To Delete?
Jul 18, 2009
I have messed up, I downloaded something about gnash through the repositories trying to get a flash player to feed my little house on the prairie on ..... habit(I know, addiction is sad). Anyway, it didn't work but now it won't let me remove it. I have flash player installed but it's doing the same thing as gnash by itself, I have black lines across the screen instead of a flash player. Is their some way I can force it to remove gnash?
I'm new to Fedora and not sure how things are done so please keep that in mind while you're trying to help me fix my stupid mistake. Thanks

I can't have pulseaudio on this machine. Second, Flash played with sound in F13 32bit w/o PA. I have gstreamer plugins and ffmpeg installed but still no sound. Is there any diagnostic output I can refer to to find what libraries are missing if any? Using Firefox. HW is Creative Audigy2 on Gigabyte AMD890 mobo, Phenom II 4 core Sound works everywhere except Flash.

Since I plugged in and then unplugged in the firewire port a video camera, I have a note in the bottom-right corner of one of the desktops. It says 'libieee1284-3".
It's not a serious problem at all, I can live with it, but if there was a way to remove this yellow square from my pretty desktop I would like to hear about it .
I tried clicking and right clicking on it; it does nothing except I can access a tiny menu with - apparently - enlarge, refresh and configure buttons. Only the configure button (a spanner) does something, it opens a "configure" box which does not have a "remove" or "delete" option. Rebooting does not remove it.

I just installed Debian 6.0 on an older box, the CPU is an AMD K6-2 (with 3D Now) 500MHz, with 512Mb of on-board memory.
I installed this with the LXDE as the desktop environment and it includes a CPU usage graph (colored green) on the LXDE panel, by default. Based on my past experience with Linux, LXDE runs faster on this hardware than XFCE or Gnome.
When I use a web browser on this system, whether it is Iceweasel or Chromium, the CPU usage spikes up to 100%.
I believe Gnash may have something to do with this. I removed gnash which also removed browser-plugin-gnash and went to the same sites afterwards, the CPU usage then dropped considerably.
I realize that the CPU is somewhat slow (compared to today's processors), but why would Gnash (and probably by extension, Adobe Flash Player as well) use up all the CPU resources?
The installed video card is an nVIDIA GeForce 2 MX400 (PCI) with 32Mb of on-board video memory. I have another video card that could be used, a 3dfx Voodoo3 2000 PCI with 16Mb of on-board video memory. which I believe is also supported by xorg. The monitor is a Sceptre X9G-Naga III LCD, 19", resolution is 1024x768 (the maximum listed in the settings).

Recently I setup a system for a non-technical user. He is only using Firefox, Pidgin and OpenOffice for about 2 hours a day. I have created a folder "/home/jim/myFiles" where he can save his document files. But Jim has accidentally deleted his myFiles folder on 2 occasions. He had intended to delete a file in that folder. Is there a way to lock the folder so that the user and create/read/write documents in that folder but not delete the folder itself?

Gnash is not working in any browser. The only thing working is playing separate music tracks. Video with sound works only in Chrome, but full screen is not available and its very buggy. What to do? Don't want to use Adobe Flash, it's even more buggy, even with music files. Full screen also doesn't work good, although video plays in every browser.

How do you easily switch Flash players in Firefox on Linux between Adobe Flash and Gnash? Neither players work very well, but when one fails, the other usually works, so being able to quickly try one after the other would be extremely convenient. There's a buggy Firefox plugin, but it only works on Windows, and only supports switching between the various Adobe Flash versions.
The only way I know how to switch players on Firefox Linux is to shutdown Firefox, uninstall Gnash, reinstall Adobe Flash, and restart Firefox. This is obviously quite painful, and pretty much keeps me tied to Adobe Flash. Is there an easier way?

How do I install the Python module for Gnash?
But apart from that, what basic concept am I not understanding about installing packages on Linux?
I am used to installing packages using package managers - mostly apt-get and zypper. I have occasionally installed from source, often with no trouble. However I recently installed Gnash and discovered that it has a Python binding that must be compiled from source and this has led down a rabbithole making me feel stupider at each turn.
First, I attempt do a ./configure --enable-python in the gnash source dir. This ends up failing with an error that
package pygtk-codegen-2.0 isn't found
The lead developer, Rob Savoye, was kind enough to point me at packages.debian.org, telling me I just need to locate this package. After many failed searches, I found that the python-gtk2-dev package contains this ... file? script? Great, but I couldn't figure out how to obtain the python-gtk2-dev package. It doesn't exist in any of my openSUSE configured repositories.
So I headed to the GNOME site and searched, found that the PyGTK package contains pygtk-codegen. Download the tarball, cd, ./configure, and this fails because I don't have GLIB. After some more searching I use zypper to install glib2-devel (libglib-2.0 was already installed), and now PyGTK fails to configure because I don't have GObject.
Find that, download tarball, cd, ./configure, fail. I don't have gobject-introspection-1.0, apparently. I DO have gobject-introspection installed, and it's version is ≥ 1.0, but that's what the script says.
So I will readily admit I am new to Linux, but I have to be missing some basic step here. Can anyone give me a clue about any of the above? Is it normal to have to install one dependency after another like this? Is OpenSUSE the wrong distro? What would make this process not so horrible?

I was interested in trying out Gnash as an alternative to Adobe flash Player so I installed it using synaptic and also ticked the Gnash Mozilla Plugin.Well the plugin is not installed in Firefox? Not there under Tools -Add ons or listed under about: plugins? I tried editing Firefox preferences to use gnash instead of Flash but cant locate the program.Nothing on the internet as far as basic intructions?A system search does finds:/usr/share/app/install/icons/gnash.xpm/usr/share/app/install/desktop/gnash.desktop

A dutch site explains that the standard flash player in synaptic, Gnash and SWF, are so called "wrong flash players".
Translated into English:
Look whether the "bad packets" swfdec and gnash may already be installed. These may interact with Adobe Flash Player disturbing.
