Hi all, I installed the http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_Formats/11.1 - the http://opensuse-community.org/codecs-kde.ymp install. Nothing changed. No sound form Firefox (e.g. YouTube sound).

If you have not installed NoScript plugin for Firefox, you might do so and see if video works better. YouTube, etc. started (intermittantly) working for me on Suse 11.0 after I switched to FIrefox with NoScript. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Maybe there's an obvious answer here that I'm missing, but why use 32 bit firefox and plugins when there are 64 bit flash and java plugins available? I've been using 64 bit flash ever since it was released last year and never had any issues. Download from here: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.22.... Extract and copy the plugin to /usr/lib64/browser-plugins. Your 64 bit firefox should work with flash the next time you open it.

If you still really really want to go ahead with your 32 bit version of firefox, you have to remove the plugins folder under the directory you expanded from your download and replace it with a symlink to /usr/lib/browser-plugins. It would probably be faster if you install the 32 bit version of firefox from yast (there's a versions tab where you can choose the version you want to install), as it will recognize the default opensuse browser-plugins folder location automatically.

Thanx Nicolai for the link. I downloaded and placed it in the /usr/lib64/browser-plugins directory, killed all firefox processes, and restarted. No sound. I installed with YaST the newer version of Firefox afterwards, but it also did not work with the plugin.

That's a real good question. My flash player is from the standard openSUSE repositories... I'm not using any special version of flash... it was installed when I installed 11.1.

Nspluginwrapper is a wrapper for 32 bit plugins that make them compatible with 64 bit applications. That's how 64 bit distros handled java and flash when only 32 bit plugins were available. Opensuse 11.1 comes with nsplugin + 32 bit flash because the 64 bit version of flash is still alpha 1 according to adobe, even though it works fine. Either way, the '64 bit problem' disappeared before opensuse 11.0, when nsplugin finally came into its own. Before I get too far off topic... :-P LLLActive - I think you may be missing gstreamer plugins. Make sure you have the gstreamer good, bad and ugly plugins installed. I don't recall which two out of those three flash needs... I usually just install all three. Goodluck.

Guess what happened earlier today. All was working well with flash, plugin and gstreamer. I got a message for updates of various security issues, and saw flash and gstreamer there as well. I thought "just do not install those!". Then I thought the folks at the update rollout will make no mess, so decided to update. I updated, ... now nothing works. I can not figure out which gstreamer files are the culprit; too many and one click and a dependency hell of 556 packages screaming. Shht. Now I need a list of all working and up to date flash, plugin and gstreamer that work together. Got the flash and plugin as before, but have three red gstreamer files : gstreamer-0_10-plugins-base - Installed - 0.10.22-42.pm.2 - Alternate Version Avalable 0.10.21-2.21.2 gstreamer-0_10-plugins-base-lang - Installed - 0.10.22-42.pm.2 - Alternate Version Available - 0.10.21-2.21.2 libgstinterfaces-0_10-0 - Installed - 0.10.22-42.pm.2 - Alternate Version Available - 0.10.21-2.21.2 I tried the whole process again that worked in the thread - no go. This is annoying from OpenSUSE to F-U such things with updates. It all worked! (It's getting like WinDos - new installation necessary - ubuntu?) Will try again in the morning .......... :-( Al Sht-Sht-Sht -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

My system is completely up to date and I have no problems with Flash. In fact, I have never had any problems with Flash. I still can't figure out why some people have so much trouble. The only difference between my system and a stock install is that I don't use pulseaudio (and I do have a multi-channeled card).

In YaST, no firefox is installed. I am trying to get it all to 32 bit and get past the flash 64 bit problem.

What flash64 problem? I'm using 64-bit Firefox with 64-bit Flash... and I'm not having any problems. YouTube works fine as does any other Flash content (eg Hulu, Zattoo etc). C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
