attempting to get nspluginwrapper-1.1.0-2.fc9.x86_64 to allow
firefox to
access these plugins, configuring them as follows:
# mozilla-plugin-config -r
# mozilla-plugin-config -6 -i
This doesn't work. Neither of them shows up when "about:plugins" is
entered into firefox's URL box; and a test doesn't show them
working.
What's wrong with the configuration?
What versions of nspluginwrapper are installed? On my (working)
system,
I have 2:
nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-27.fc9.i386
nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-27.fc9.x86_64
I believe that the FAQ states you must have both installed in order
for it to work correctly.
You are correct. nspluginwrapper for both i386 and x86_64 architectures
have to be installes for things to work properly. And they both have to
be the same version: I had
nspluginwrapper-1.1.0-3.fc9.x86_64
nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-27.fc9.i386
installed.
Which probably happened during the last update with the bad
dependencies. If the correct version of the .i386 package had already
been installed, it wouldn't have been a problem. (It wasn't for me).
This last update brought in .i386 versions of sqlite, libidn, libcurl,
and nss for me which weren't there before.
Also to get sound libflashpluginsupport has to be installed. Probably
this should be a dependency for Adobe's flash-plugin.*.rpm, which it
isn't.
Fedora doesn't build Adobe's RPM, and its not clear if the same RPM from
Adobe is intended for multiple RPM based distributions or not, or if the
other distrubutions even *have* a libflashpluginsupport RPM.
BTW: Where is the FAQ you're writing about? I couldn't find it.
Fedora Release Notes. For F8, its section 10.3.1 and contains the line:
Users of Fedora x86_64 must install the nspluginwrapper.i386 package to enable the 32-bit Adobe Flash plugin in x86_64 Firefox and the pulseaudio-libs.i386 package to enable sound from the plugin..
I find that the Adobe Flash Plug-in works better for me than the
different open source alternatives.
Thanks - jon
