View 7 RepliesIn 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.
Code:
dpkg: error processing adobe-flashplugin (--remove):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Errors were encountered while processing: adobe-flashplugin
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
Press return to continue.
Now I can't install anything, I am using Kubuntu 9.10, and have tried fixing this with aptitude and nothing works.
These are some of the things I tried.
Code:
sudo dpkg --clear-avail
sudo dpkg configure -a
sudo dpkg --remove adobe-flashplugin
sudo dpkg --install adobe-flashplugin
Code: [root@enhu Download]# su -c 'yum install flash-plugin nspluginwrapper.x86_64

i installed the adobe flash plugin (for linux) following adobe's instructions (download, decompress, and copy the correct ".so" to the plugins directory).
however, the plugin is not detected by either videos or firefox (checked using "aboutlugins"). something must be wrong with adobe's plugin version 10.x!
i want to try a firefox extension called "download videos videos as mp4 and flv," which rewrites the videos pages to include a download button which allows you to directly download the video in mp4. however, it requires vlc media player on linux.
i have slackware, and followed the instructions on this page [url] to use the slackbuild from alienbob. i set require_yasm=no.
however, the build produces the errors below (it tries to build with yasm, and it doesn't find "libvpx.a"):

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?

The Flash plugin is not installed. I'm behind a proxy server - could the download be timing out??
I removed the one I had because of some security alert. But lots of sites don't work with the 32 bit one with the wrapper so I'd like it back.

View 6 Replies View Relatedver since I upgraded my Fedora 10 to F11 I've noticed that the flash plugin in Firefox crashes every time I try to load some content, leaving just a grey box. When I go to Adobe's website to check the version number, it works fine. I've already tried reinstalling the plugin.

View 3 Replies View RelatedFedora 11, 32-bit, updated daily manually via yum (console). Today got the Firefox update to 3.5.4. After restarting Firefox, the fist page reads: "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now." The link leads to Adobe site, which offers me Flash Player version 10.0.32.18. All is fine so far, excluding the fact that I already have this player:
[root@pc ~]# rpm -qa | grep flash
flash-plugin-10.0.32.18-release.i386
Just for the record, on "aboutlugins" page Firefox confirms I do have the correct player version:
Shockwave Flash
File name: libflashplayer.so
Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32
Does it mean Firefox does not detect correctly the Flash plugin version? Or am I missing something?
I have never had a problem with flash plugin before. Just recently I decided to try gnash to see if it plays flash videos better then flash plugin (it doesn't). So I updated flash plugin from the 10.0 r32 version to the 10.0 r42 version and went under Tools > Add-ons > Plugins in Firefox and disabled the gnash plugin and re-enabled the flash plugin and now flash does not work any more. I've tryed uninstalling gnash, reinstalling flash plugin, reinstalling Firefox. Flash just will not work. Flash works in Google Chrome or if I run Firefox as root.
I have Fedora 12 32bit
I disabled the new version of flash plugin (10.0 r42) and re-enabled the old version (10.0 r32) and now flash works. I dont understand the new version of flash plugin works but only in Google Chrome or if I run Firefox as root?! Also Firefox (as my user) shows both versions of flash plugin 10.0 r32 and 10.0 r42 Firefox as root and Google Chrome only show the new version.
I installed Fedora with Midori. (Using Fedora LXDE spin, 32bit). I installed the flash-plugin package and it seems the flash plugin is not recognized by Midori. I also put the flashplugin.so file into /home/MyUserName/.mozilla/plugins/. Not sure what can be done to make Midori work with Flash in Fedora. I am experienced with other linux distributions but I am brand new to Fedora.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'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.
I installed the Fedora 13. When I use the firefox to surfing the internet, I receive a waring that tells me to install the flash plugin. I downloaded it from the Adobe websites, but I can't install it. How can I install the flash for linux ?

View 5 Replies View RelatedThe hardware acceleration in the Adobe flashplayer gives strange side-effects (distorted "after-image") when using it in combination with the Nvidia hardware drivers. No problem, because you can right-click in a flash-player field (like a ..... moving image), go to settings - and disable hardware acceleration. The strange thing however is.. you can only do this ONE time. After that setup is greyed out an cannot be used any longer. Very bad, because after an flash update the hardware acceleration is set to "on" by default.
Even stranger... I can be used in another browser (say Opera or Google chrome) when "blocked" in Firefox - but only ONCE. When doing setup in Opera it only works one time, and after that it is also greyed out. The same thing happened with Chrome. This is very bad, because I am running out of browsers very fast. If flash is being updated/upgraded now I have no browsers left....
I have been looking for setting files in my home directory (hidden files), but did not find anything that leads to a solution. I am running the KDE desktop if this is of any help.
This has happened on two independent systems. Does anyone has the same problems? And if so - does anyone knows how to "repair" this strange behaviour?
I have open suse 11.04 with KDE installed but cannot play flashes with Konqueror. With Firefox I cannot problem. What can I do ?
