Wine

I had to install an .msi - I used wine (installed through synaptic) - It worked :-)

Check out: the wine FAQ page

[SOLVED] flash & amd64 with nspluginwrapper on gutsy

open synaptic

install flashplugin-nonfree and nspluginwrapper


download latest flash plugin and
# sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

than
# sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

restart firefox

voila.

idea comes from here.

Of course it does'nt work perfect: I can watch maybe 1 or 2 videos, and than it quits, and I have to restart firefox....


After all, this doesn't work. So what remains: 32bit firefox again.

installing nspluginwrapper 2.

during make I run into the following problem:

agi@Alice:~/programok/nspluginwrapper-1.0.0$ make
gcc -std=c99 -m32 -o npviewer.bin npviewer-npw-viewer.o npviewer-npw-rpc.o npviewer-rpc.o npviewer-debug.o npviewer-utils.o npviewer-npruntime.o npviewer-cxxabi-compat.o -m32 -Llsb-build-i386 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 -lX11 -lXt -ldl -lpthread -lgthread-2.0 -Wl,--export-dynamic -Wl,--version-script,/home/agi/programok/nspluginwrapper-1.0.0/src/npw-viewer.map -lsupc++

So, what to do?

...and gutsy again

So I updated again to Gutsy, and found out, that the cause of the xournal and X freezing and stopping to do anything is the modified LinuxWacom. As never before, after updated to Gutsy, and installed modified LinuxWacom again, the 3 onscreen button worked, and produced the same error as in feisty. So I installed the official LinuxWacom, now the 3 button doesn't work, but Xournal don't freeze.

installing nspluginwrapper 1.

I reinstalled feisty, because during trying to install gnash I installed and uninstalled so many packages, I had to make it normal again.

so I downloaded nspluginwrapper 1.0.0 tar.gz, unpacked it, went to the directory, and
./configure
make
sudo make install
during make I got some errors, so I had to install following packages:
  • libc6-dev-i386
  • g++
  • gcc
  • xorg-dev
  • libgtk2.0-dev
  • libc6-dev
I may missed something.
----------
I could install it, but it still doesn't work. I get these error messages:
*** NSPlugin Viewer *** preloader not found
nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for libflashplayer.so

youtube & firefox & amd64

1. 32bit firefox --> works
2. gnash --> following the instructions: don't work.
3. nspluginwrapper --> don't work (ia32-libs newer version not available on feisty)

installing GNASH

Trying to get firefox play flash files (youtube) I'm installing Gnash.
Earlier I tried installing 32bit firefox, and that's working.

Now I'm following these instructions.

./configure
There was a lot of missing packages, I finished with 2 warnings remaining, because I didn't find them in synaptic.

make
There was some problem with not finding G++. Following this and this, making a symbolic link solved this problem:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++-3.3 /usr/bin/g++

make is extremly slow, I hope it will work.
--> no luck:
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [libgnashserver.la] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/agi/Desktop/gnash-0.8.3/server'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/agi/Desktop/gnash-0.8.3/server'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/agi/Desktop/gnash-0.8.3'
make: *** [all] Error 2


I don't know what to do...

Back to feisty

Somehow I found that Gutsy is a bit slow for me, and I reinstalled Feisty. I don't know why, but now my upper menu bar is english, but the submenus are hungarian, as they should be. And the second time I wanted to boot the new Feisty, it froze.

Another thing, that came up: partitioning the winchester: if not automated, you have to make 2 real and a logical partition.
device /dev/sda1 directory / type ex3 size 15000 MB
device /dev/sda2 directory /home type ex3 size 65000 MB
device /dev/sda5 directory type swap size 2500 MB (logical, at the end)
