[Bug 443772] New: Flash broken on beta4+/x86_64
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443772 Summary: Flash broken on beta4+/x86_64 Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta4 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jthorell@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Not sure if this is the best component category to place this bug in, so feel free to move it if it should have been placed elsewhere. Starting between beta4 and beta4.6 (and still present in beta5), nspluginwrapper does not like Adobe flash version 10. It may have been a problem earlier too, but I didn't try to update it until flash10 was available in the factory/non-oss repo. About:plugins in Firefox lists the plugin as installed, but trying to view a page with flash (i.e. youtube) just provides a grey box where the movie should be. I even tried to disable all firefox extensions to see if one of those was the culprit but that didn't help. I've also tried: 1. Completely purged the 9.x version of flash, and installing version 10 to see if something had been corrupted along the way (that is, not updating but installing the player/plugin from scratch). 2. Downloaded the tarball from Adobe's site and install it manually (without flash being installed from any repo). This I did by: sudo mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser-plugins sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so I didn't get any error-message, and a npwrapper.libflashplayer.so was created in /usr/lib64/browser-plugins. About:plugins also tells me that version 10 is now installed. ldd /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so doesn't give any clues whether anything is missing either. But apparently something is wrong since it still doesn't work. Downgrading to version 9 from the default non-oss repo makes flash work again, although obviously not the latest version. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Thanks to a helpful comment on the forums, it turns out it was a broken dependency:
libcurl4-32bit needs to be installed along with mozilla-nss-32bit
The latter was installed on my system (don't know if it was by default) but the latter was not, so it is needed to be added to packages required by flash10.
I need to learn how to type...libcurl4-32bit was not installed but mozilla-nss-32bit was and both need to be dependencies on flash10 to make sure it will always work. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

From a user in the forums: To fix this issue libcurl.so.4 needs to be symlinked to libcurl.so.3 so there are clearly problems with the dependencies.

I don't think that is necessary. I don't have libcurl.so.3 anywhere, neither as a regular file or as a symlink. All it took (for me that is) was to make sure libcurl4-32bit was installed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
