Slackware :: Flashplayer Screwing Up In Firefox
Feb 6, 2010
I am having trouble with Flashplayer 10.1 d51 screwing up the colors on a lot of videos, .....,etc. It is really strange and hard to describe. it makes the video almost like it has a pink curtain over the video and only able to see outlines of the video subject matter. When the scene changes, it while sort of clear and then spread again. I can boot into Ubuntu 9.10 and can play the video just fine.
It doesn't do it on all videos. But, it does it quite often. Plus, I have another Slack 13 system with S3 Virge that plays the same videos just fine.
Slackware 13
Nvidia drivers
Nvidia GeForece 4 MX

I've tried installing flash player using the slackbuild and files provided on [URL]
After installation everything looks well and good:
bash-3.1$ slocate libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib64/firefox-3.5.2/plugins/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
bash-3.1$
But flash still won't work in Firefox.
I get the following errors:
/usr/lib64/firefox-3.5.2/plugins/libflashplayer.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
The same error is also reported for both mozilla/plugin directories state above.

Everything worked fine until yesterday, but now when I open Firefox and I try to load a video, I simply get the black video. It's like it is loading but nothing appear and nothing happens! The page is loaded but the video is not shown
I changed anything, I tried to "reinstall" the .so flash plugin... but no luck :S
I also tried to start firefox from command line to see if there's something wrong but nothing...
It's like the loading time for the flash video is infinite.

On my lucid install I upgraded to Firefox 6. Once I did that, I discovered that flash-player crashed. I tried flash-aid and tried every possible flash alternative.That did not work either. I decided to upgrade to Firefox 7 beta. It is the same story there. When I had Firefox 5, flash worked fineMy system is an amd quad-core 3ghz with ati 4200 graphics. Flash worked until my upgrades to Firefox 6 then to Firefox 7.

I have ubuntu version 4.10 with Mozilla Firefox as a browser. I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player plugin but I do not know how to get the plugin installed. I can navigate through the terminal a little but still learning. I do not know how to save the (.tar.gz) download to the desktop so it can be unpackaged and then copied to the usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder. I am hoping the same procedure to install this plugin will be the same for the rest of the browser plugins.

I have a problem with Adobe Flashplayer 10. It seems to be incompatible with a countdown timer on a specific site. I use firefox and when I open the site firefox freezes , hangs for a while and then I get an Adobe flashplayer 10 error stating the script encountered a problem. This is how and know the problem is the adobe flash and I know it is with that countdown timer as it only started when that was added to the site. Obviously it is a compatibility problem as it doesn't hapen on my Windows pc.
My question is two parts: a. Is there another flash player I can try with Firefox and b. If yes How do I uninstall the Adobe Flashplayer and install the other one.
Ubuntu 10.04.1 64 bit with all latest automatic updates , browser is Firefox.

Yesterday I used slackupdate.sh [0.7.3] from darklinux.net to update Slackware 13.1, 32 bit version. I got Firefox 3.6.6, installed it, moved the libflashplayer.so to the new plugins directory. Now I can't play utube videos. about: plugins says that flashplayer is installed and working. Grabbed flash from Adobe website, overwrote the existing one, still no joy. Asked in the Firefox user forum. Answer 'same thing happen to me -- Windows Vista' ...I'm not an advanced user. So, is this a Slackware problem, an Adobe problem, or a Firefox problem? I'm asking here because y'all are more likely to point me to a solution. I've always been able to grab the Linux version of Flash from Adobe website and install it

Code:
Building flash-player-plugin
flash-player-plugin:
flash-player-plugin not found in /var/cache/sbopkg.
--2011-05-22 10:36:40-- http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz
Resolving fpdownload.macromedia.com (fpdownload.macromedia.com)... 95.100.2.70
[Code]...
I tried three times, by removing /var/cache/sbopkg/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz then start sbopkg again.
EDIT: I went to slackbuilds.org, downloaded flashplayer from there, and checked the md5sum. Still the same of course.

I think this is a bit of a complicated problem so bear with me while I explain it. I'm using an HP Laptop with Ubuntu 10.10. The laptop has the touch buttons for mute and volume up/down, and I use them all the time (at least when I was on Windows). I've very recently switched to Ubuntu and now those keys are causing problems with a game called Minecraft. Basically, when I'm playing it and use those keys, it brings me out of full screen (if I'm using fullscreen) and then seems to mute like it should, but the problem is, it doesn't UNmute when I press it again. The lighted button on the laptop goes back to showing its unmuted, but the game still has no sound. I've tried messing with the sound settings inside the game, and doing all these weird combos of when I mute/unmute and all, nothing seems to help. I usually have to restart the computer to fix it, but then if I use the button again, it does the same thing.
P.S. does anyone know of a way for these buttons to NOT interrupt full screen? I had the same problem with it interrupting fullscreen apps on windows, but then I used a program called 3RVX and it fixed it. Is there anything like this on linux?

I need windows because iscan under Ubuntu does not work well. So I have a dual boot. Trouble is that windows is only good for a month because I can't validate it because I have it on another machine also.
So, my month is up and I can not longer access windows. I could do a complete wipe and reinstall windows and then put Ubuntu next to it but that is a lot of work. Can I just reinstall windows and get my boot loader to operate properly again? Or is it actually easier to do a total wipe out and reinstall? I have tried to restore grub before and I failed miserably.

1. Evince is somehow screwing up font creation when displaying dvi files. I can preview the dvi file fine under xdvi. When I try with evince, I kicks off a slew of metafont font-creation runs, then shows me totally garbled pages -- the layout is correct, but none of the characters are right. This happens for documents that primarily use Times Roman fonts.
2. *Every* time evince comes up, it insists on starting in continuous / "fit page width" mode. I don't want either one. I want continuous-mode*off* and the window in the "best fit" view. So I have to click, drag, click, click, drag, release *every* time I pop up a file. It's very annoying. There doesn't appear to be any key in the gnome gconf config database I can set to affect these things. How do I fix this?...

I have downloaded FireFox 4 RC (wow - fast!) and have a Flashplayer issue - the FarmVille game which uses the FlashPlayer does not load - the message was:
Code:
If your game does not load within 10 seconds, you may need to upgrade your version of Flash. Please do so by clicking here I did just that - usually Adobe website will tell you if your FlashPlayer is already up to date for the browser you access with it, OR, give you the option to update (which I did in my case) - but after updating, it still does not bring FarmVille up, and I get the same message, click the Adobe Link, and offers me to update it again.
Anyone know a workaround - because the new Firefox has the speed like Google Chrome does, and FireFox has been my favorite for years, but I have resorted to using Google Chrome for the past several months due to its speed (I have only 1 MB DSL download speed, and it seems that FarmVille is better with such speed).
I'm using openSUSE 11.4 KDE.

Just what the title says, Natty Narwhal doesn't want me on ..... or other Flash powered sites in either Chrome or Firefox. Clicking the "Install Adobe Flash" button sends me to the Adobe website where I can install it, but nothing works.

I installed SuSE 11.1 again because of the higher resolution. Installed manually the latest Adobe Flashplayer and all worked well. Now I installed Firefox 3.6 and it also works well except for the flashplayer. I cannot reinstall the player because it is already installed.
hans@linux-acry:~> rpm -qa | grep flash
flash-plugin-10.1.102.64-release
pullin-flash-player-11.1-1.1
flash-player-10.1.102.64-0.1.1
libflashsupport-1.2-4.20
Is there a way to make the player work in the new version FF3.6 or must I de-install and the install again?

I installed the new flashplayer beta 10.1 and the video is good except it is all a pink haze. It seems to have problems with colors. Im presuming it is to do with a flashplayer installation problem, or could it be my video settings etc ? (eg perhaps my integrated video card can't take the strain ?)

Yes there are probably about 10 000 security flaws with the old one but the performance of 10.1 just does not cut it for me. I was much happier with the old version and I was stupid enough to let it get upgraded.

I installed the newest Flash player in an update a few days ago, and now ever since last night, every time I watch a Flash video I get graphics problems. It looks as if the Flash video is stuck in the centre of the screen and if anything black (text, notifications) are in the way, they show the video behind them. Hard to explain what I mean Nothing shows up when I run ps ax.
In addition, all Flash videos are now jumbled up with pixels and weird looking glitches.
- Happens with Firefox, Minefield, and Chromium.
- Using latest proprietary NVIDIA drivers available in Jockey
- NVIDIA Geforce 8400m graphics
- Restarting or using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace always fixes the problem.
