[opensuse-factory] Why does flash fail
Why is it that Firefox will not see a flash document. In 11.4 it worked correctly and in 12.1 it fails This is a 64bit machine and I have tried openSuSE flash in /usr/lib64/browser-plugin and it never has worked here. So I have downloaded a flash plugin that works like crazy as "root" but not as a "user". My guess is it is a permission issue. Has anyone fixed this issue. Well at this point I have replaced many things thought off as possible defective software like flash and firefox as tests. Made sure perrmissions and chmod was allowing it to work. Problem is nothing has changed it still is a permission problem as proven by the root user is working and all users are not able to see any flash type files. The browser comes up and all you see is a black small screen with no image. I have even completely tarred up and removed all /usr/lib64/browser-plugins only leaving libflashplayer.so with root.root and 755. Nothing seems to change the image. This is a recent 12.1 M2 The libflashplayer.so (64bit) version is the same one that works for another openSuSE user. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb@comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Skype:n5xwbg BMWMOA #:4146 Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

It's always worked for me with flash "square" and the directory is /usr/lib64/browser-plugins, it's plural. I installed it manually and as far as I recall, it needs to have 0755 permissions (manually), assuming that the libflashplayer.so there is actually the 64bit one.
