Fedora :: Getting OSS4.2 And Flash To Work On X86_64
Oct 23, 2009
I had quite a bit of trouble getting OSS4.2 and flash to have sound on x86_64 fedora 11. I had been using the Adobe repository which is 32bit. Adobe labs distributes a 64 bit version, and I notice now that Leigh has packaged it for fedora. Switching to the 64bit flash plugin brought back sound in flash for me. Just wanted anyone else wanting to try OSS4.2, to know how to get sound in flash.
I'm having no sound and no flash workin on my newly updated F12 kde x86_64 desktop, I could get back sound by yum removing pulseaudio, but installing flash ( thru mjmwired instructions), get pulseaudio back installed.
After updated libflashplayer to 10.1 and installing the 32 bit compatability libraries as described in some other threads, I can no longer use mplayer, ffplay, or vlc to watch flash video.
Code: mplayer /tmp/Flashsomething In all three cases: * there is no sound * video is choppy at best
I cannot be held responsible for any damage this may do to you're system. This is to be done at you're own risk OSS4 Howto Fedora 12 x86_64, this can be done for 32bit as well, just use the 32bit rpm instead.
goto http://www.opensound.com/ click on Download on the left hand side of the screen. click the Open sound system logo/picture select the appropriate file for you're machine. 64bit fedora = Linux 2.6 (amd64) (RPM) click on the submit button

This is to be done at you're own risk For compatability reference for anyone needing help with specific apps after getting oss4 installed. [URL] To uninstall oss4 open a terminal and su to root then type. To put pulseaudio back type yum install pulseaudioback to normal... add all the pulseaudio apps that were removed if you desire.
Fedora (2.6.34.6-47.fc13.x86_64) I installed that update, during the installation process it said that it had to remove three packages, one of them was kmod nvidia for the old kernel (Fedora (2.6.33.8-149.fc13.x86_64))After the update finished installing the new kernel, I restarted the system and Nvidia did not load. (I assume because Update manager removed the old nvidia? But I also assumed that a new version would be installed automatically?)I received the following Boot messages:
Code:
Entering non-interactive startup Starting monitoring for VG vg_user1: 3 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg_user1" monitored
[code]....
I'm confused, if Update Manager removed kmod nvidia, then why does yum say it is installed? And why doesn't the new kernel update work with that version? Or should I install a driver version for that particular kernel? I've read while searching that I need to install a kmod-nvidia for that particual kernel version and that I should login to my previous kernel until that happens, is that the problem I'm having?
Why don't rpmfusion and fedoraproject release the kmod-nvidia and kernel updates at the same time to avoid problems such as this? Does anyone know how long does it usually take for rpmfusion to release the new kmod-nvidia driver for the latest kernel?
Is it possible for plymouth to work with the ATI Catalyst driver installed in Fedora 15 x86_64?
Is it that plymouth requires KMS and Catalyst doesn't provide it? With the nvidia driver, I could put a vga= line in grub and plymouth would run. Is there something similar for catalyst?
The only user that can make the sound card work on a F10 x86_64 system is root. For non root users, I am not seeing any error messages when a app tries to use/access the sound card, just nothing plays. As I said, for root everything works as expected. I am sure this is a permission/setup issue, but I have no idea where to start.
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!
i was having severe problems under slackware64-current with the adobe flash player plugin for firefox. browsing and watching videos on videos was a pain in the neck with the player crashing when opening a couple of tabs, and constant lockups for several seconds while the plugin wrapper that was running it was taking one cpu core for itself.
it seems the problem stems from a recent change in glibc that modified the memcpy implementation and caused a bit of havok in some packages. i'm guessing it's the same change (or a similar one) that caused problems with sysklogd and iptraf, among others, with strcpy and overlapping strings. remember the patches:
[url] [url]
strictly speaking, those are problems in the program source code, but most people seem to think it's a bad idea to provide a memcpy that doesn't work for overlapping strings. a bit of discussion can be found here, with a few priceless comments by torvalds:
[url]
it seems the source code for the flash player plugin probably contains this bug, as manually modifying the libflashplayer.so binary to replace memcpy calls with memmove calls fixes the problems. at least it clearly did for me.
a quick recipe can be extracted from that bugzilla entry and one of its attachments.
for example:
code:
that should modify the binary in place provided it's located at ~/.mozilla/plugins. the resulting binary is not distributable but the recipe is.
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 yesterday and have tried to switch OSS by following the explanation in the community wiki. During OSS4 installation, I got this error message:
Code: dpkg: error processing oss4-base_4.2-build2002-2_i386.deb (--install): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/ossinfo.1.gz', which is also in package oss-linux 0:4.2-2003 dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Processing triggers for man-db ... Errors were encountered while processing: oss4-base_4.2-build2002-2_i386.deb
Now I can't complete the installation. I tried to move ossinfo.1.gz file but made no difference.
I did a fresh install of Fedora 14 XFCE spin and it is working well. I tried to install Adobe Flash by following the directions listed below and though it says it was successfully installed any time I try to do something that requires Flash I get a message saying I need Adobe Flash version 10 or higher.
I downloaded adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm from Adobe's website and did the following:
Installation instructions for the YUM repository definition
1. Click the download link to begin installation. A dialog box will appear asking you where to save the file. 2. Save the .rpm file to your desktop and wait for the file to download completely. 3. In terminal, navigate to the desktop and type # rpm -Uvh <rpm_package_file>. Click Enter. (Note: This must be done as a root user). 4. Once the installation is complete, in terminal, type # yum install flash-plugin. Click Enter. (Note: This must be done as a root user). 5. To verify the plugin is installed in Mozilla, launch Mozilla and choose Help > About Plug-ins from the browser menu. 6. To get the most up-to-date Flash Player in the future, simply type # yum update flash-plugin in terminal. You will not need to repeat steps 1-4.
I do have flash-plugin-10.1.102.65-release.i386.rpm
Should I do the above process with this file?
I also tried to verify the plugin was installed in Mozilla but there is no Adobe Flash listed in Tools->Add-ons->Plugins. Is that where it should be listed?
I have tried to add 'libflashplayer.so' into multiple different places to get the flash work, but still my Firefox 4 says: "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video." "Download it from Adobe."
i just installed fedora 12 on my computer. installation went perfect, even tweaked it a little bit and everything works; except for flash player. i installed it by following some guide and i can watch videos vids and all, but sometimes the videos video player doesn't respond to my mouse. i can click on play/pause but it gives no response whatsoever; i can click on the sound but it gives no response whatsoever. sometimes it all works perfectly, but when i click on the next vid it suddenly doesn't respond anymore.
I have a 64 bit system and am running mozilla firefox. I've installed (successfully it tells me) adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm But can't get it to work in mozilla and aboutlugins doesn't show anything. Suggestions?
Just as the title says, the fullscreen feature in Flash video players such as ..... does not work in Fedora 13 on my computer. Videos play fine in the window, though. When I press the fullscreen button, the area where the video was playing turns gray and the sound stops playing. I've tried fiddling with some settings in Compiz but it didn't seem to help. I had Flash Player 10 installed initially, when it started having this problem, and then I installed 10.1 and it continued doing this.
I'm having the same issue when running F11 or F13 x86_64 and getting the flash-plugin installed just doesn't seem to work. aboutlugins in the browser does not show that the plugin has been installed.
I've followed the instructions at [URL] to no avail. This problem is common to both Firefix and Chrome.
The file referred to in this step (nswrapper_32_64.libflashplayer.so) for google chrome does not exist on the filesystem, sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/nswrapper_32_64.libflashplayer.so /opt/google/chrome/plugins/nswrapper_32_64.libflashplayer.so
I've ignore the sticky thread for this as I believe that this version of the adobe 64 bit plugin is vulnerable to this issue, [URL]
I've also tries the gnash-plugin and still no flash in either browser.
due to its philosophy, there is no mp3/dvd support shipped with Fedora.Anyhow, we're working here just for the very basic support.Some now may say "Oh thats bad, having to do that my self..".I say: "Using such a great OS, is worth that 10mins work to get sound and video."
I am running a 64-bit version of lucid that I just upgraded the other day. At first everything was working fine, but after some upgrades (don't remember which ones) I get an oss4-dkms error and I have no audio.
I have tried a bunch of things that I found online, but nothing has seemed to work and at this time I am a little lost.
The sc spreadsheet app doesn't really work in 64bits. It launches but you're unable to do anything with it, it's not possible to enter any values in the cells or do anything else. It works fine in 32bit though.
To make it work properly in 64bits, you can use this patch, borrowed from debian: http://salix.enialis.net/x86_64/13.1...changes-7.16-3
And there is also this patch to make DESTDIR work properly with the Makefile: http://salix.enialis.net/x86_64/13.1...-destdir.patch
Code: HP Mini 210 Fedora 15 - latest updates I bought a HP USB Flash Drive v117r 16GB
I bought this 3 months ago and everything worked fine. However, I went to plug it into my computer and nothing came up in the file manager, the Flash drive was not detected.
I have PC running Fedora 15 and I have a iMac. The Flash drive didn't work for any of these. However, I have other Flash drives that I have had for many years and they still work. I have also tried different usb ports.
Once thing that is positive in my /var/log/messages I get the following:
Code: Jun 18 18:01:59 stevenet kernel: [95007.342161] usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 29 Jun 18 18:01:59 stevenet kernel: [95007.981728] usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=03f0, idProduct=af07 Jun 18 18:01:59 stevenet kernel: [95007.981743] usb 1-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
It looks like the ocfs2console is broken on openSuse 11.4 64bit. I tested on several servers and my laptop. It works under 11.3 x86_64 but that uses Python 2.6. OpenSuse 11.4 uses Python 2.7.
I tried to submit a bug but I can't seem to get my email address verified so I can use the bug tracker.

I've got a ATI graphic card, which is not a Radeon bla bla, and it is a Fire Pro MV 2260. I download the official driver from ATI(AMD) website, and it gives me:
'firepro_8.723-linux_98794.zip'and unzip will produce 'fglrx-8.723'
I change the things according to this thread:
openSUSE Lizards ATI HD57xxx fglrx drivers under 11.3
However, after installation I can't start X. The log shows the kernal doesn't match.
Then I try to install the ATI Catalyst 10.7. It won't start X as well. I think maybe ATI Catalyst 10.7 is particular designed for Radeon, isn't it?
BTW, why there is no entry for 11.3 at:
Additional package repositories - openSUSE
NVIDIA drivers is updated, but ATI seems very lazy...
