I have enabled this plugin in OpenOffice as directed. When I try to view an .odt document in firefox all I get is a blank grey page. Are there any other instructions to get this working. I have a Windows laptop for work and the plugin worked first time without any tweaking. I have openSuSE 10.2. Regards Garry Saddington

Hi Garry,

I'd be interested in looking at this. Can you point me to a link for the "directions" you were following?

I used the OpenOffice help and searched for 'mozilla plug-in' then enabled the plugin as directed. Regards Garry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What arch? x86_64? 32 bit If you run the 64 bit OS, it uses a 32 bit Firefox for more plugin compatibility. If you run the default OO with 10.2, which is 32 bit, it actually should just work. If you run the 64 bit OO, this will not work, because of a 64bit-32bit incompatibility. Of course, you WOULD need to restart Several times including full system restart. I didn't even get the grey screen when I tried on my Ubuntu box! Regards Garry

Hi Garry,

Have you looked under /usr/lib/browser-plugins? This is the SUSE default plug-ins directory, so when I install a piece of software that has been packaged for SUSE, either by SUSE or by another 'third party' packager like Packman or Guru:

a. if the package suppies a plug-in, it is 'landed' or is symlinked into that directory, or

b. if it uses plug-ins, it 'looks' in that directory to see what plug-ins are available.

So, did you install the 'stock' SUSE OOo package?

Thanks!

Carl

All software is from a straight install of OpenSuSE 10.2. I have manually copied nsplugin from oo2 dir to the browser plugins but nothing has changed. regards garry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

nsplugin is executable program, not a shared object file that can be loaded by the browser. So it cannot be used in this context. I am not sure what

nsplugin is. Maybe the browser plugin is a wrapper around that program? Or maybe this is the opposite of what is wanted: nsplugin may allow netscape to

be a plugin for OO.

I would like to have this netscape feature as well. If it exists.
