Ubuntu :: Get A Video Download Plugin For Firefox?
Sep 1, 2011
I'm trying to get a video download plugin for Firefox (Ant Video) to write into a vfat partition where there's more space. I keep getting the message "You can not read or write files in this folder."
Initially, the permissions for the folder were weird. I followed the instructions here: [URL]
And edited /etc/fstab to this:
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
Opening any flash video with the flash player plugin cause my CPU to go to 100% (even more but I assume that's just top reporting dual core or something. I want to watch ..... and stuff without burning up my CPU so I need to fix this.
Although I did install the package flashplugin-nonfree, in debian that I'm a little more used to flashplugin-nonfree provided libflashplayer.so and not flashplugin-alternative.so which seem to be the one all my browsers are using. However about plugins in firefox says very little except "application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash". Can I just replace all the flashplugin-alternative.so with libflashplayer.so and maybe make some links or something or would that be bad?
The process using my CPU is reported as plugin-containe but it only happens with flash video and not any other plugins. If the video is playing, paused or stopped/not started makes no difference. I did replace all the flashplugin-alternative.so with libflashplayer.so, it didn't help. Seems firefox was using that plugin all along, presumably from here "/usr/share/ubufox/plugins/". I can't imagine I'm the only one who wants a fix for this here, there should be hordes. I use the latest kbuntu, flash player, firefox and kernel all from the repo.
Sometimes for web TV one is offered a menu where the video is divided into sub chapters where you can jump right to this part of the video by clicking in a chapter menu (very similar to playing a DVD). Well, this does not work for me. Clicking a sub chapter only set the video to play from start, and sliding the bar only freezes the player with a white screen. I'm running 10.04 (64b), Firefox 3.6.9, with the latest Totem-plugin.
Yesterday I wasn't able to successful enable JRE in my firefox.This is what I did ,
I downloaded the rpm from the file and installed it in /usr/java Code: chmod a+x jre-6u<version>-linux-i586-rpm.bin./jre-6u<version>-linux-i586-rpm.bin This successfully installed Firefox JRE in my system now in order to make firefox know abt it
I went to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and Code: ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_24/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so as said in the instruction manual. Still firefox isn't able to recognise the plugin.
I tried to download Mp3 plugin but it froze. So i restarted and it was still frozen. Then I uninstalled it and reinstalled Rhythm box, hoping that I could downloading Mp3 plugin. But now the problem is that it doesn't Ubuntu in stores section. What can I do?
I just installed firefox and flash-plugin.The version of firefox is 3.0.10, package is firefox-3.0.10-1.el5.centos.The version of flash-plugin is 10.0.22.87, package is flash-plugin-10.0.22.87-1.el5.rf.But firefox crashes when there is flash in web page, unless disable flash plugin in firefox.
I have a Power PC G4 Dual 1GHz Processor desktop and running Ubuntu Gnome 10.x.I cannot use any of the plugins on Adobe's Flash plugin download page- they all seem to require i386 series processors. Is there an alternative? Maybe from the Linux community that will work with the PPCG4 and also Ubuntu?
I want to synchronize my Blackberry 9300 with Evolution. I found some guides and "how to" but all that required the OpenSync's Evolution plugin. I can't find taht plugin in the official site of the project. Do you know where I can find it?
how I have to find out from a distant by making mistakes first.An old pc which I replaced Microsoft Windows out of frustration. All these strange terms.At least I can play a musical cd.Do I have to download a plugin on internet to be able to play a DVD? Meanwhile I am reading the help files in the hope that I find a solution.How have I missed Open Office all these years.
I'm having problems with the Flash plugin since yesterday. It is caused by a file which is not available in the repo:
[Code]...
download failed The Flash plugin is NOT installed. In that archive the file adobe-flashplugin_10.0.42.34.orig.tar.gz is missing, but there is a file for 10.0.45.2. I couldn't figure out how I can install this version (does not even show up when I select all software sources including backports).
On an new Ubuntu 9.10 installation, I chose the wrong flash player to run with Firefox. It's the gnash one. I should take the Adobe one. How do I remove it, so Firefox will see the plugin's not there and then prompt me for a new plugin?
I opened Firefox, and tried to use an Internet speed tester that requires Java. I've always used this with no problems. Today, I'm having problems with it. It told me to check that my Java plugin was enabled, or whatnot. I looked at Tools > Add-Ons > Plugins, and found that Java is gone....
What's up with that? I'm using the latest version of Firefox (version 3.6.8 / Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu cononical - 1.0) on Ubuntu 9.10.
I checked with Synaptic Package Manager, and I found sun-java6-jre, and all of it's related packages, openjdk-6jre-* packages, etc. were installed (over ten packages with 'java' or 'jre' and '6' in the package names).
So, I don't understand why Tools > Add-Ons > Plugins doesn't show my java plugin anymore. I also checked about: plugins (had to put a space between the colon and 'plugins' because a smiley shows up aboutlugins), but there was nothing in there about java either.
What's going on? Has Ubuntu decided it doesn't want to use Java (I remember reading something about Oracle changing the license for Sun Java somewhere)? Or is this a fluke?
Either way. Synaptic Package Manager says Java is installed... So, what else do I need to do to fix this? I read other posts about Firefox and Java, but they were about installing java, and the like, and I have Java installed....
At first, I enabled the partner source and installed "sun-java6-plugin", as that was listed in an earlier Ubuntu install's package list. But Firefox does not see this plugin (even after a reboot). So I removed that package and its friends, and installed "icedtea6-plugin" as found on [url], but this does not work, either. This is with Ubuntu 10.10 for i386 on an ASUS Eee PC 900.
How to get a Java plugin working? I know I've had it working before without having to do anything like this. But that could have been an earlier version of Firefox. Could Firefox now be broken? Or could they have blocked Java, now?
I used Ubuntu for about a year bakc in 2008ish, and then went back to windows due to having to run certain software for university. I have since graduated, and have now been running Ubuntu 10.04 for about 6 months. So far everything has been working fine, this is my first real problem!Yesterday, I ran the update manager and installed all the updates it recommended. Since then, any time I try to view a webpage with flash (eg .....) I get the plugin crashed display where the video should be. If I restart the computer, flash will work for an hour or so and then crash again. It's not just the one site, all sites seem to have the same message.
I have Ubuntu Karmic x32 and the Firefox version from the Mozilla Launchpad ppa, and Firefox isn't detecting the java plugin at all. As in, it's not even being listed in the plugins manager. What should I do? If I need to give any more details about my system,
My Java plugin is not loading on Firefox. I need it to load, but FF doesn't even recognize Java is installed. It works on Google Chrome (which would be nice... except the plugin is buggy there)
Here's the background * I'm running Firefox 3.6.3, through the repository on Code: [URL] * My process list includes: Code: 23679 ? 00:00:00 firefox 23688 ? 00:07:31 firefox-bin * I run NoScript, but I've had it work before w/NoScript, and everything is currently allowed. I'm fairly sure it has rather to do with FF 3.6.3. * My about.config settings:
Code: java.default_java_location_others;/usr/java java.default_java_location_solaris;/usr/j2se java.global_java_version_file;/etc/.java/versions java.java_plugin_library_name;javaplugin_oji * My directory settings:
Code: patrick@patrick-laptop:/usr/lib/jvm$ ls java-6-sun java-6-sun-1.6.0.15
I just installed Gnome Do and for the most part, it works great!
The only problem is that it does not search my Firefox bookmarks. Every other search seems to work just fine. I ran Do in a terminal and this is what came up:
(Do:13821): Wnck-CRITICAL **: wnck_set_client_type got called multiple times.
Firefox.PlacesItemSource "Firefox Places" encountered an error in UpdateItems: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object at Mono.Data.SqliteClient.SqliteDataReader.GetString (Int32 i) [0x00000] at Firefox.PlacesItemSource+<LoadPlaceItems>c__Iterat or3.MoveNext () [0x00000]
[Code]....
After that, I went in a disabled the Firefox plug in and ran it again and the only alert was the "Wnck-CRITICAL" message, which seems to always be there.
I am trying to install the ALEKS plugin in firefox 3.6.7. ALEKS is a math education suite type thing, and I am using it to get into college classes. In order for the ALEKS plugin to work, I need to things: Java and their plugin. ALEKS provides a linux plugin [URL]... but from the description, it looks like it hasn't been updated for quite a while (since the days of netscape I suppose.)
I contacted them and asked about the situation. They gave me the above link and told me they didn't give support for the linux plugin, but the page has instructions so I figured maybe the geniuses at ubuntuforums can possibly get it working with a little elbow grease. Now, on the driver download page it says this:
To download manually the plug-in on Linux for Netscape 7.1+, or Firefox 1.0+, or Mozilla 1.6+, you will have to download the ALEKS package file and save it on your computer in the "Java VM lib/ext" directory. For instance, with the Sun Java VM version 1.4.1, this directory is usually:
/usr/java/j2re1.4.1/lib/ext/ or /usr/local/j2re1.4.1_02/lib/ext/ I tried cd'ing to those directories but they don't exist. My main question is, what is the equivalent for the default java installation that comes with ubuntu?
I am unable to install and enable Java plugin for the firefox web browser. I have already installed open jdk. I also tried to install jre 6. But nothing worked..
Ubuntu 10.10 - Flash 10 plugin - Firefox 3.6.12 (all latest versions of their kind). When I try to play programs from BBC iPlayer website, the message on the screen informs me that I don't have the correct Flash plug-in, I follow the links to download this, but of course my computer does have Flash 10 plug-in already installed. I have tried removing this and reinstalling both from the website link and from Ubuntu repository, but still cannot convince Firefox that I do indeed have the necessary Flash plug-in.
I am having problems with the Adobe PDF plugin to load and display PDFs within the browser.
This is a plain Natty-installation with Firefox 4. Adobe Reader 9 is installed with the deb package from the adobe - homepage.
The PDF seems to load when the file is actually stored on a webserver. But when the PDF is kind of dynamically generated, the file is not opened by the plugin but a file-save/open dialog appears.
Can reproduce this behaviour? To test, for example, to
[url]
If you click the PDF button unter "cached", the PDF is not loaded within the browser on my system.
If you however click, for example the second link under "Downloads" everything works as should.
Things I tried that failed: - completely removing Adobe Reader 9 and the plugin and try to use Reader 8 + plugin instead - using Mozplugger/evince instead of the Adobe Reader 9 plugin
In all cases, the PDF under "cached" is not loaded within the browser.
As comparision, for example in Windows 7 using Adobe Reader X, everything works as should.
I am not sure which one is the culprit here, my suspicion is Firefox 4...
Do you know of existing bugreports either in launchpad, firefox bugzilla etc?
When I try to display a PDF file from within the Firefox browser, I get a screen that says "Click here to download plugin." When I click there, the plugin finder service runs and displays a message that says: "No suitable plugins were found".
How do I find and install the Firefox browser plugin that lets me display PDF files?
