Then I reinstalled from Yast, just firefox and flash-plugin-9.0.124.0-release Then I did "rpm -q -filesbypkg flash-plugin-9.0.124.0-release" to determine the name of the actual plugin file (which was reported as /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so) Then I used "nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so" to get the wrapper to notice the 32-bit driver Then I restarted firefox, and it works a treat :) It does seem to be generating some warning messages to stderr, but these don't seem to prevent it from working properly
------ That isn't the way it works normally. Browser plugins are installed to /usr/{_lib}/browser-plugins. So, joe@jmorris:~> rpm -qf /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so flash-player-9.0.124.0-0.1 joe@jmorris:~> rpm -qa | grep flash flash-player-9.0.124.0-0.1 nspluginwrapper automatically installs, I believe via a post-install script, the plugins it finds in the 32 bit location, i.e. /usr/lib/browser-plugins. Since you installed something that did not install in the default location, i.e. a non suse package according to pin, you needed to setup nspluginwrapper manually. If you would have installed the flash-player from the install media (which would have been upgraded via online update), it would have worked out-of-the-box. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unfortunately, that's not quite true either. It's now lost in a long string of messages, responses, and so forth, but this all started with a completely virgin install of 10.3. Not an upgrade, but completely new install on a fresh partition. It did _not_ work out of the box. After much messing around, trying many things (both reasonable and unreasonable :) I cleaned out a lot of accumulated junk and went back to Yast and those were the packages that came from the OpenSuSE 10.3 repositories. After telling Yast to install the packages, it still did not work, however, when I configured nspluginwrapper by hand, that's how I got it to work. The only thing about my install that wasn't "textbook" was that due to a dying CD/DVD drive, I was forced to install from the 10.3_Gnome CD, rather than using the DVD.
