I am trying to replace Adobe Flash player with Gnash in Firefox, but Firefox is not recognizing Gnash as a plugin after I installed the Ubuntu package called browser-plugin-gnash. how to use Gnash as a plugin for Firefox? I am using Firefox 4.0.1 on Ubuntu 11.04 on a 32-bit machine.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have browser-plugin-gnash installed and I am using Debian Squeeze. In Chromium, I get the message "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video." whereas it works in Iceweasel.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get flashplayer to work. I was using it in Ice Weasel, and it stopped working. I tried the newest flashplayer as well as the Beta from Adobe labs. I can now use flash, but not in full screen.
I'm not sure what the best alternative is. I tried to use Konqueror. I have konqueror-nsplugins installed, and told Konqueror where the plugin directory for flash was. That didn't work.
Now I'm trying to get gnash to work. I have been using the following pages as a guide:[url] [url]
I installed the following packages:
I can't get gnash to open through K menu. I don't have a .gnash file in my home directory. I also tried swfdec-mozilla and can't get that to work either. Do I need to uninstall flashplugin-nonfree? I'm not sure how to get gnash to work in You Tube.
Though I have to deal with a lot of new issues with respect to 11.04, I have a specific problem that I need to solve quickly. When I try to print to a pdf-file from a ps-file using Document Viewer, it appears a box that says:
"Failed to print document
Printing is not supported on this printer."
I have Lynx, trying to connect to a tightvnc server on a Win7 box on my LAN.
Server IP: 192.168.1.42:5900
The remote desktop window just goes black and pops up a dialog saying connection closed every time.However VNC works fine as I installed xtightvncviewer as an alternative and that connects, and I can view the Win7 desktop and control it and do everything you would expect.
I've also tried connecting using Android VNC viewer from my phone on my LAN and that also works fine so it appears to be an issue with Remote Desktop Viewer.Incidentally using R.D.V. on Intrepid into a tightvnc server on my old XP box worked fine.
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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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).
I would like to display a fully opaque image (e.g. PNG RGB8) on the desktop in an image viewer - but such that I can set the window (showing the image) to be, say, 50% transparent (so I could see through and compare with other windows below). It would be even better if the viewer just shows a "panel" instead of a "window" (i.e. I'd prefer just the image shown, possibly with a border - instead of a full blown window with menubar, titlebar etc).
I'm aware that in Compiz, it should be possible to run a plugin, and have any window you want transparent - but I was hoping for a solution (viewer) that would not be Compiz-specific (and even more preferred, if it is neither Gnome nor KDE specific - but I'm not sure that is possible).
I m trying to share a dosktop screen by using teamviewer on window systems. i m able to do so if my computer is unlocked, but m unable to do if it is LOCKED.

I have a Titanium (Onyx) 550 Mhz G4 Powerbook and the standard gnash does not work. I read that you can compile a custom version of gnash for laptops with low spec graphic cards. Could anyone give me guidelines how to do this with gnash? or swfdec? or lightspark?

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
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.

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.
