Ubuntu / Apple :: Setup Gecko SDK And Mplayer In Opera?
Mar 13, 2010
I really want to make the switch from Firefox to Opera as it is so much faster and more stable. But am having real trouble getting mplayer to work. I was wondering if anyone who has successfully managed to get mplayer plugin working in the Opera web browser. Iv been trying for a couple of days now and its getting repetitive. Iv tried following the instructions here: [URL] I think im having trouble with Gecko SDK, havnt been able to find a package thats ppc compatible (am running Karmic on an iBook G4). Though i found an RPM package that was and converted it with Alien, not sure if it actually worked though.
I have XULrunner 1.9.1 and mplayer installed. Im falling down on this step of the above linked tutorial: "Type ./configure --enable-x [--with-gecko-sdk={path}] where {path} is the path to the Gecko SDK" But have tried just running "./configure" and "make" from within the directory, without, of course, the desired effect. Also im not sure when it says "Locate the files mplayerplug-in*.{so,xpt}" what or where "mplayerplug-in*.{so,xpt}" is supposed to be.

The thing is that flash sucks for linux on 64-bit, performance vice. Due to this I actually download every clip to a temp folder and play the file while it's being downloaded with mplayer. This works really nice. Flash is not to play a video. Does there exist a plugin for this for any browser? I tried google, but I can't find the right words to search for. Edit: I did find a plugin for playing wmp things, that is not what I'm asking for!

Here's the next problem I'm running into. I successfully installed Ubuntu using the Alternate disc. It's set up as the only OS, I let the installer configure the internal drive, etc. I don't need OS X on this machine anyways. I'm back to the graphics issue again.The system turns on, fires up YaBoot, starts up the Ubuntu install, but then hangs as soon as it goes to do something with the display adapter, producing a random blank screen in a particular color, and just stops there. I looked to see if there were boot options at the YaBoot prompt, but all it gave me were "Linux" and "Old".

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx 64bit on my mac pro in a dual boot setup with os x. When installing I had some trouble figuring out the partitions, especially because the thing happened with the extra partition from nowhere. I deleted the small partition created by the installer, synced the GPT and MBR, installed GRUB on /dev/sda4 and all was fine.
After my first software update my system is now broken, after rEFIt it got stuck on a black screen. I started up from the livecd, chrooted into my system, reinstalled GRUB on /dev/sda4, installed it on /dev/sda too, but that did not really help. I now get to the GRUB rescue shell, but I'm pretty clueless what to do. Also it does not seem a widespread problem, since I didn;t find many reports of dual-boot macintels breaking with this update. What can I do to restore my linux system ?

ubuntu lucid, firefox 3.6... but it seems the firefox 3.6 is not a complete 3.6 as its gecko is 3.0...; so whenever i want to install a update that is for ff >= 3.5, i always get, that this addon is not available for ff 3.0... my question:
1. is it normal that the ff 3.6 is running on gecko 3.0 on ubuntu? cuz in windows the ff 3.6 also has the 3.6 gecko
2. if so.. how can i update that gecko?

First the issue is that when streaming long videos the playback would suddenly stop and I would need to restart playback manually and drag the progress bar to the correct position to resume playback. I think this is because buffering is not keeping up.
I would like to find a way to configure gnome-mplayer so that playback would just pause when buffer is running low and resumes as it grows, is that possible?
In order to do this I have been playing with the cache setting in gnome-mplayer.
Here are a few questions and observations.
1) In gnome-mplayer there are two cache settings, one go under the Preference > Mplayer tab, the other under Preference > Plugins. What is the difference?
2) I notice that if I set the plugin cache to be minimum then playback will not start until the 20% mark is reached, iit will take longer to start and the playback will last longer before buffer runs out. On the other hand if plugin cache is set to some large value then playback will start almost instantly (~ 1%) but also stops very quickly.
The question is 20% of what? I thought it means 20% of cache size so it should take longer to fill if the cache is set bigger, this seems to be the other way around.
3) With audio stream (say radio) it seems to be the opposite, if plugin cache is small then playback starts immediately, if it is big then it takes longer.
I would like to make sense of this and understand the logic behind it
P.S. Gnome-mplayer in Natty (as oppose to earlier versions) actually has too cache size options under Preference > Plugins but they don't seem to behave independently, for example, I set video cache to be large and audio cache to be small then according to 3) above (and the small audio cache) audio playback should start instantly but instead it takes a while so the size of the video cache has an effect even without video streaming.

Yo so there is a problem in the version in the repo so I posted it on the message board on google code for that project and the author told me to get the version from SVN. So I did that but it's not compiling. He's not sure how to fix it and says he's never seen this message before. I'm guessing this is a Debian prob; I'm on Debian Sid.
bash@debian:~/Downloads/gecko-mediaplayer-read-only$ make
make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/bash/Downloads/gecko-mediaplayer-read-only'
Making all in src
[Code]....
Note: I compiled "gnome mediaplayer" from the SVN fine that is needed by this plugin. I've also does "apt-get build-dep" for both gnome mplayer and gecko plugin.

I was wondering if there's another way than gecko-mediaplayer to play divx movies on the web. In chromium gecko sometimes freezes,usually when only 10 minutes are left from the movie and that's just freaking annoying, and you can't fast forward or backward also. Though it has some good things too I would like to know if there's an alternative for it in chromium, something like using vlc as in firefox.

I have set an option for Gecko Mediaplayer to work properly on [URL] in firefox 4. I think it was something like this
QuickTime/7.6.2 ( qtver=7.6.2 ; os=Windows NT 5.1Service Pack 3 )
Now gmail doesn't detect Firefox and gives me the Basic html view , asks me to upgrade to Firefox.

Last night I was updating my system and I ran into some dependency errors. It seems like gecko-libs is having problems. here are my yum update results.

I am using various browsers on opensuse 11.0
==>Opera
==>Firefox
==>Seamonkey
==>Konqueror
I find that the gecko based brwosers firefox and seamonkey are not working, page loading is extremely slow/not working at all sometimes. On the other hand Opera and Konqueror are working fine. The gecko browsers are loading pages well only when I right click on web pages and use "open with browser menu" from either konqueror or opera.

Does gecko-mediaplayer uses gstreamer codecs such as gstreamer0.10-base-plugins gstreamer0.10-good-plugins gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg or is it only totem-plugin that does? I it necessary to have gstreamer codecs installed if you only want to use gecko-mediaplayer?

This should be a very elementary question. I have a URL like http://SERVERNAME/file.wmv. When I enter it in "Open Location" in gnome-mpLayer it connects to the server and plays the stream. But when I run
mplayer "URL"
in the terminal I get a crazy endless loop of
Playing URL.
Resolving SERVERNAME for AF_INET6...
Couldn't resolve name for AF_INET6: SERVERNAME
Resolving SERVERNAME for AF_INET...
Connecting to server SERVERNAME[xxx.xx.xxx.xx]: 80...
Cache size set to 320 KBytes
I think my usage of mplayer in the terminal is correct, since I can watch other URL's.It's only this specific one that doesn't work (I am not authorized to write the URL because they want it to be private.So my question is: Does anyone know why I get this loop? Or is it possible to see how mplayer is called by gnome-mplayer and what output messages it generates?I use gnome-mplayer 0.9.9.2 and mplayer 1.0rc4-4.4.5 on Ubuntu 10.10.

Neither Ubuntu's Unity or KDE respond to the function keys on a regular Apple USB keyboard. I can plug in a non-Apple keyboard and they work just fine. What needs to be changed or configure so that F1 and company on the Apple keyboard work as on other keyboards?

This morning I bought an Apple wireless keyboard and I got it connected through Blueman. It works like a charm, but I have on problem;
When I log out I can log back in by typing in my password. However, when I restart the computer it seems that bluetooth is not loaded yet and I cannot enter my password. So I have to log in using my wired keyboard, and then disconnect & re-connect to my wireless keyboard using blueman before I am able to use the wireless keyboard.
Is there any way that I can already auto-load bluetooth and connect to my keyboard before I log in?

Well just got onto linux... Its kinda been just sittdng on my desk so decided to start it off Though first things first, having some trouble installing Opera. After following instuctions here: [URL] After running this in the terminal: gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key 6A423791
I get a error Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 881574DE gpg: Invalid option "--keyserver.ubuntu.com"
Where am I going wrong? And why is'nt there a 'ubuntu' installer that does this for you? Must this be done to every progarm I want to add?

I'm on ubuntu 10.04 32-bit desktop. Somehow Opera 10.60 is very slow to load. I just switched from FF to Opera, and (I'm pretty sure, might be dreaming though) that the first few days it was lightning fast.. and now it takes like 10+ secs to load any page.

I've just installed opera, copying over my sessions, history, cookies and so on over from SimplyMepis, and while it runs okay, there is only the 'file tab' available at the top of the screen as a pull down menu. I've noticed an applet at the top-right of my screen, which when right-clicked gives me a few options (downloads, history...), but this seems my lot. Where the heck is everything else? For one thing I want to restore a previous session.

I have a problem with Opera 11.10. I can't seem to uninstall it. There is no package related to it in Synaptics Package Manager. It isn't listed in the Software Center.
When I search for "opera" in Unity search it shows up and I can launch it. The launch command is "application://opera-browser.desktop/." but there is no file like that in /usr/share/applications folder.
Also, when I install Opera 11.50, then it installs separately and still launches 11.10 from the Unity search.
