Question? Is it better to put it in /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so and link everything to it there, or is the better choice to put it in /usr/lib/flash-plugin/ and link to it there?

i put it into /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins and all browsers i'm using (FF, chromium, konqueror) pick it up from there w/o need to link anything. seems fine to me...

phani, I have an issue with an older flash install that keeps flash from working with FF. Works perfect with Opera. The file I think is the problem is: /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so which I believe is an old ndiswrapper libflashplayer install.

That should be fine, so long as the new libflashplayer is there instead. If you have any doubs then simply move the npwrapper file elsewhere temporarily to test. And note - npwrapper is not ndiswrapper: the only similarity is "wrapper" in the name ... Dx -- “ ‘... but there is so much else behind what I say.

Thanks Patrick, I did that and it isn't owned by anyone. It must have come from an earlier get.adobe.com rpm or .tgz. I'll move test and report back. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

if you're using the new 64-bit flashplayer, you shouldn't need any ndiswrapper stuff. i just renamed everything related and copied the new player into /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/. works for me, but if it will for you, who knows? i'm really no expert on the intricacies of mozilla & co. couldn't get the 32-bit flashplayer (w. ndiswrapper) from the repos working; have been using an outdated, insecure 64-bit player from long ago instead. something is weird with my system in this regard, so it may not be an overall valid example... -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I've removed the package nspluginwrapper completely for now. It's actually only useful for Flash and not needed with a native 64bit plugin.

Where it's copied is not really important once you know what is installed where. RPM packages place the stuff under /usr/$LIB/browser-plugins by convention. Since some Mozilla versions there is also /usr/$LIB/mozilla/plugins which is always scanned for plugins.

Phani, Wolfgang, All, I think I may have found the real problem with my flash install on FF 3.6.9. Looking at add-ons -> plugins, I somehow have 2 shockwave flash players installed (screenshot of plugins page below): [120k] http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/img/ss/moz/ff-plugins-swflash.jpg The screenshot shows both: Shockwave Flash 10.2 d161 (the new one) Shockwave Flash 9.0 r100 (the one causing problems) If I disable the old 9.0 r100 flash just quits completely (yep, I restarted FF after disabling it). Where does this thing hide and how can I remove it? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

This might help. Here is what I have in /usr/lib64/browser-plugins. What can/should I nuke?

Huh, Son-of-a-gun, I fixed it by trial and error. I moved all the libtotem and libswdec files to a dir, then copied new libtotem files from an 11.3 box and softlinked libflashplyer.so and flash started working just like it should.
