32-bit flash player with nspluginwrapper on slackware 64

marnold · 06-15-2010, 07:42 PM

FWIW, I uninstalled the mozilla-nss package,ran convertpkg on the Slackware 32bit Firefox package, and installed it. Running /usr/bin/32/firefox seems to work just find with the new Flash player. All the controls are functional. I didn't see a dramatic drop in CPU usage, but my quad-core didn't have an issue with that anyway. I'll report back if there are any issues.

Hey, just checking the forums. Glad to see someone was able to put my old directions to good use. I've been using Gentoo recently, but I'll be back to Slackware sooner or later. I guess I'm still a member of distro-hoppers anonymous.

You should also try launching the browser from an XTerm, and see if any messages are printed out when the browser launches Flash.

marnold, what is this 'convertpkg' you refer to?

Thanks. Yes, after running "ldd libflashplayer" it reported 52 missing dependencies which I'm not about to run down and install. I've gone back to a 64 bit browser and the last release of the 64 flash player. Let us hope Adobe releases a new 64 bit version as soon as possible.

It's included with Alien Bob's multilib stuff (scroll down):

Update: Ignore everything in italics below. Per a post later in this thread, all you need to install is AlienBob's multilib stuff and the converted 32bit Firefox package. Much easier that way.

Those are easy to fix, following the instructions earlier in this thread. This is assuming you've already followed AlienBob's multilib instructions:

1) Copy dbus-glib, curl, libidn, esound, and audiofile off the Slackware 13.1 32-bit CD. (Note that all of those are in l/ except for curl which is in n/). You'll also want Firefox out of xap/ if you want to run a 32bit browser instead of dealing with nspluginwrapper.
2) Run convertpkg-compat32 -i * -d . in the directory where you copied those packages.
3) Install those newly created packages (the ones with "-compat32" in their filename.
4) ldd should now report that all those dependencies are met.
5) Run the 32bit Firefox via /usr/bin/32/firefox

you need only to convert the mozilla-firefox package, the others should be in the standard default multilib set.

Hmm. Well that certainly would make things much easier. Hmm. Doesn't installpkg normally warn you if you are installing a package that already is installed? It didn't when I reinstalled those packages. Weird. So, yeah, ignore me

- setted it up with

Code:

/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/x86_64/linux/npconfig -v -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

- relaunched firefox (deleted pluginreg.dat in .mozilla/firefox/*my_profile* before too)

I have to fix the procedure above, because adding /usr/lib/seamonkey to /etc/ld.so.conf revealed not a good idea (mplayer playback stutters, my beloved enemy territory laggs, etc.).

prerequisite is a full multilib slackware64 (with massconverted libraries too).

so, to solve the missing library dependencies of libflashplayer.so located in /usr/lib/seamonkey (you need seamonkey-solibs-compat32 too, but it should be in the default set of compat32 libs) I have done like this, using the LD_PRELOAD trick:

- installed the packages of the new flash-player-plugin and nspluginwrapper
- setted it up with (I ignored the errors)

Code:

LD_PRELOAD="${LD_PRELOAD}:/usr/lib/seamonkey/libnspr4.so:/usr/lib/seamonkey/libnss3.so:/usr/lib/seamonkey/libnssutil3.so:/usr/lib/seamonkey/libplc4.so:/usr/lib/seamonkey/libplds4.so:/usr/lib/seamonkey/libsmime3.so:/usr/lib/seamonkey/libssl3.so" /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/x86_64/linux/npconfig -v -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

then I edited /usr/lib64/firefox-3.6.4/run-mozilla.sh, changing line 143 like this

Code:

LD_PRELOAD="${LD_PRELOAD}:/usr/lib/seamonkey/libnspr4.so:/usr/lib/seamonkey/libnss3.so:/usr/lib/seamonkey/libnssutil3.so:/usr/lib/seamonkey/libplc4.so:/usr/lib/seamonkey/libplds4.so:/usr/lib/seamonkey/libsmime3.so:/usr/lib/seamonkey/libssl3.so" "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

and with firefox 3.6.4 the problems with controls partially working described above seems to be fixed too

if anyone has a cleaner fix to run 32bit flash plugin in 64bit firefox I'm all ears.

michelino · 06-29-2010, 02:54 AM

It works for me!
:-)
Thank's ponce

@ponce:
I'm having trouble wiht that setup:

If it doesn't work I think you have to go multilib first.

Dankles · 07-20-2010, 01:10 AM

I've followed the instructions and have the multilib env setup. I've also installed the other pkgs too (after installing multilib). I've just re-installed everything to make sure, and i still have the same error.
