Hi, |
2 |
I'm wondering what the best solutions are right now for a full |
3 |
featured browser in GentooAMD64? |
4 |
|
5 |
I use a number of Investing web sites. Some of them won't even try |
6 |
to run certain features telling me I'm on an unsupported OS. The ones |
7 |
that do try to run the features seem to fail in one area or another. |
8 |
Is it possible to make all 3 of these technologies work in a single |
9 |
browser on AMD64? |
10 |
|
11 |
1) Java |
12 |
2) Flash |
13 |
3) 32-bit streaming media? |
14 |
|
15 |
It seems that if I run firefox-bin I get most Flash and streaming |
16 |
media, or at least as much as I think I need. However I definitely do |
17 |
not get Java. |
18 |
|
19 |
It seems that if I run firefox compiled for 64-bit then Flash |
20 |
doesn't work and I don't think all Java does either, or at least on my |
21 |
system. |
22 |
|
23 |
I did for a while try playing with a 32-bit chroot but that was a |
24 |
lot of work to use and keep up to date. I stopped using it. It's now |
25 |
out of date and frankly I don't even remember how to start it anymore |
26 |
but will go back to it if necessary. |
27 |
|
28 |
Here is a quick view of what's installed. If it's a question of USE |
29 |
flags I'll post back more info if needed: |
