[opensuse] Disturbing puzzle about 13.2 (and Firefox 35.0)
My wife and I are using 13.2 installed from the same DVD, and I update the systems daily using zypper. The only difference is that her computer has an Intel 4-core CPU with 8GB of RAM and I have an AMD 8-core CPU with 16GB of RAM. (Yes, OK, the graphics cards are also different.) Earlier today my wife received a post giving her an URL to some video on YouTube. She tried to play it and found that Firefox 35.0 refused to open the video because the flashplayer was out-of-date and therefore was a "security" risk. I went thru the motions of trying to upgrade flashplayer to the new version but- 1) the "1-click" install (from Adobe) produced the error message that 'my' backside did not have the necessary doohickies to do such an installation; and 2) when I tried to manually install the downloaded RPM I got a bunch of "file dependency" errors. So, no upgrade to the latest flashplayer from Adobe! (I tried doing the same upgrade of flashplayer on my computer and got the same results: my butt has not the ability to do these upgrades, and "dependency errors".) Now, there *IS* an upgrade of Adobe flash for Firefox so why isn't this upgrade made available in openSUSE 13.2 for Firefox 35.0? ....................................................................... There is one more puzzle :-( . On both our systems we have the OpenH264 Video Codec from Cisco installed. When I go to YouTube and select to use HTML5 I get the result that my Firefox can handle html5, but when I do the same on my wife's computer I get the result that Firefox *cannot* handle html5! ............................................................... I have to conclude that most, if not all, developers are not married and so they do not know what it is like to handle the high pitched accusation flung at you when your wife comes out with, "WHAT have you done NOW?! WHY isn't this working?! STOP updating my system!" So, developers/packagers, get things straightened out and get things to work properly, OK? :'( BC -- Using openSUSE 13.2, KDE 4.14.3 & kernel 3.18.5-1 on a system with- AMD FX 8-core 3.6/4.2GHz processor 16GB PC14900/1866MHz Quad Channel RAM Gigabyte AMD3+ m/board; Gigabyte nVidia GTX660 GPU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I came to post about the same issue, because it looks like this is going to become a regular thing (second time already). It's not so much a problem for me but for others who are unable to maintain their own system without external help. Such as my parents, who live in another country. For one reason or another, not least my being at their place for limited periods of time, I've never been able to get around to implementing remote desktop, but having their system auto-update would also be a risky business because there's been occasions in the past where an update has created new issues such as graphics crashes or the inability to login. I think the policy needs looking at. openSUSE might claim it's a new Firefox policy to prevent the plugin from running by default and so Mozilla should deal with it, whilst Firefox will probably advise that the distro is responsible for putting out updates in a timely manner. Meanwhile, Adobe will wash their hands of supplying Linux updates via their site saying that the fragmented Linux distro package ecosystem is the bottleneck. It's all very well for Windows users who, upon checking for the latest update, can install it directly, but when it has to come through the official distribution channels, and that process takes a couple of days or more, it's going to become unreasonable if that occurs once a month or whenever there's a new Flash vulnerability. I'm not complaining about the delay - I know openSUSE devs have things to do and two days isn't a disaster, rather that this is exactly the sort of crap situation that plagues Linux and shows us up in front of Basil's wife, my parents and all other 'regular computer users' who don't understand why this has to be a problem. Ultimately, I understand that the real problem is Flash and that it needs to die, but does its slow death have to inflict misery on us all like this?

A few minutes ago I went to update TUMBLEWEED on my laptop and flash was *NOT* upgraded. (So much for Tumbleweed being "at the bleeding edge" :-( .)

If you want updates in a big hurry, standard repos are usually the wrong places to be depending on exclusively. OBS repos are where the things in Tumbleweed originate. IIUC, individuals are responsible for maintaining most packages in "normal required repos". Coolo, Yamaban, Mkubecek and the other major producers can't do everything without help from people not working on openSUSE to the exclusion of other things.

From then on, flash-player is marked as "coming from 'Vendor' mm:apps" and will get updated (with a 'zypper up') from there, but no other
Ahem, e.g. multimedia:apps is maintained by a group of people, and is the official devel-repo for flash for Factory! Sooner or later, what you have there, will end up in Factory and the next oS version. DO NOT confuse home:* with the official devel-repos, starting with Base:System... And, case in point, multimedia:apps is providing flash ..442 for all maintained oS versions. When the maintainers of the devel-repo deem an update as fit (or urgent) enough[0], then push it to factory and create an maintainance request/incident for the supported versions (13.{1,2} currently) "requesting" the official update. It takes some time for that. Anyway, you end up with the version from mm:apps as your official update patch for e.g. 13.2. Oh, and BTW: it is easy to "take" just one package from an devel-repo (e.g. flash from mm:apps) and not to use anything else from that repo that the app does not directly depend on and is not available from the distro-repos. You just need to: 1. add the repo with a lower priority (i.e. higher number, say 142) 2. _ONCE_ switch the package manually over to the devel-repo, e.g. by explicitly choosing the mm:apps version in the version-tab of flash-player in yast2 online_update or explicitly specifying the mm:apps version in zypper. package will. You won't see updates in the "Patch" panel in yast2 online_update though, you need to switch to "Installation summary", activate "keep" filter, right click and go to "all in this list -> Update if newer version ...", etc... or just use 'zypper up'. -dnh [0] not that that matters much in the case of flash, as it's basically a binary blob repackaged, you can do a basic "does it work?"-check and then it's either take it or leave it. -- "Der Vorteil von Computern ist, das sie genau das tun, was man ihnen sagt.

It seems to me that some popular sites such as eBay are still very 'flash' oriented. Last week I was searching for some items and opened a pile of tabs as I worked though the search list. The vendor(s) had a flash video in them. After half a dozen my machine was crippled: 'w' showed a load factor creeping up to five point something and growing. I restarted the machine with the little CPU monitor in the KDE bottom panel, I had it set to show all 4 CPU cores just in case FF was only using one. No, all were being used and all were up there over 50%, sometime higher. Now that flash is 'disabled' I can do the same and no such overload happens. It makes me wonder about many things, the efficiency of embedded videos, the efficiency of flash, the value of all the embedded videos and animation since some of them were simply rolling text.

Ever heard of the FF add-on "Flash Block" ? There are two: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/flash-block/ https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/flashblock/ Please read the reviews before installing, both seem to be a mixed bag.

I learned early on to live without Flash. I skipped over Windows by going from DesqView to Warp 4 on discovering need for Internet. Linux for me came many years later. In the OS/2 years, Flash was all trouble for those attempting to use it, so I never installed it, and thus learned life without it. During that OS/2 time I spent a lot of time in Mozilla QA, so learned MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 and -P early on. The former was later expanded to -no-remote as a cmdline option. On this OS box this user currently has 7 Firefox profiles and 5 SeaMonkey. Only 1 profile is used with an rpm's installation, and that is the only combination that knows how to find the Flash plugin. All other profiles and the Mozillas used with them are mozilla.org binaries lacking instruction how to find the rpm-installed Flash plugin. For those rare times I find Flash necessary or desirable, I use the OS profile. The rest, and the DE, remain protected from the resource hogging and often crashing that results from the web scourge that is Flash. https://web.archive.org/web/20001110133000/http://www.useit.com/alertbox/200... -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

I can't. Some crucial (for me) sites (meaning: not entertainment, but business) use flash for things as important as displaying the menu. Without flash the site does not work at all. I hate it, but can't help it. Instead, I block flash routinely with Flashblock (1.5.18). It displays an empty box of the appropriate size where the flash would display, and clicking on it loads it. Ie, flash runs on request (or if you allow an exception rule, I think). If CPU load is too high, reloading a FF tab, a page, makes it reload without flash (because of the flashblock extension). Another trick is killing the separate flash process. The page does not die, but the frames with flash inside do. FF survives just fine, it simply thinks that flash crashed, which is an occurrence that it is prepared for. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Don't I wish! My #1 on that list is eBay. I have some retired friends who supplement their (inadequate) pension by trading there. Getting eBay to ban flash, getting eBay to have all its clients and sellers etc use HTML5 instead of flash would greatly benefit the 'Net in many ways. I realise that eBay is not quite up there in volume with YouTube and some other social media sites, but its a very public site.

I'm wondering if Firefox 35 on YouTube uses openh264 or GStreamer if available. Anyone an idea how to check? Before openh264 was delivered the openSUSE version was able to use GStreamer for MPEG4 decoding already. In the beginning openh264 was only dedicated to be used for WebRTC. I'm not sure if that changed already. So I would guess that you need the GStreamer H264 things to get MPEG4 played on Youtube still.
