Hi all, |
| 2 |
Just a thanks up front for all your help so far. Possibly the |
| 3 |
crashing is behind me. I appreciate all the attention. Now, on to |
| 4 |
Flash and Java... |

Drake, |
| 16 |
Indeed, somewhere along the way Beso suggested removing things to |
| 17 |
look for what might be causing the crash. nspluginwrapper was one I |
| 18 |
had removed. I reinstalled it and now going to the video.yahoo.com |
| 19 |
page doesn't cause a warning anymore. However when I try to play any |
| 20 |
video I see the first couple of frames and then I see a gray box drawn |
| 21 |
over the top. Audio continues as the video plays but I no longer see |
| 22 |
any video. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Lest I sound like I'm complaining I do think we're making progress. |
| 25 |
I rebooted the machine and started the 64-bit browser. Always before |
| 26 |
if I created a second tab and tried to rearrange tabs the browser |
| 27 |
crashed. It no longer does that. (Maybe simply because I;m using the |
| 28 |
64-bit version. I don't know...) |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
I wonder if I should be deleting the .mozilla directory to properly |
| 31 |
test this stuff? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
OK, so here's what I'm currently seeing in about:plugins: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Shockwave Flash |
| 36 |
npwrapper.libflashplayer.so |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Helix DNA Plugin: RealPlayer G2 Plug-In Compatible |
| 39 |
npwrapper.nphelix.so |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
NPAPI Plugins Wrapper 0.9.91.4 |
| 42 |
npwrapper.so |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
VLC Multimedia Plugin |
| 45 |
libvlcplugin.so |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
QuickTime Plug-in 6.0 / 7 |
| 48 |
mplayerplug-in-qt.so |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
mplayerplug-in 3.45 |
| 51 |
mplayerplug-in.so |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Currently if I go to this page Java isn't working at all. |

Not my biggest problem but I need to solve it. |

STATUS: |

|
| 61 |
1) Firefox crashing - Possibly fixed. Thanks! |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
2) Flash video - gray box. This is what I'd like to solve first if possible. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
3) Java - not seen by the browser. Have done very little work on it |
| 66 |
yet but building a little on Jeffery's idea I tried to do it with the |
| 67 |
currently installed version of Java: |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
lightning ~ # slocate libjavaplugin_oji.so |
| 70 |
/opt/emul-linux-x86-java-1.6.0.03/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so |
| 71 |
/opt/emul-linux-x86-java-1.6.0.03/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so |
| 72 |
lightning ~ # |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
mark@lightning ~ $ ls -la .mozilla/plugins |
| 75 |
ls: cannot access .mozilla/plugins: No such file or directory |
| 76 |
mark@lightning ~ $ |
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
So I have no .mozilla/plugins directory to build the link. I tried |
| 79 |
adding a plugins directory and creating a link as shown but the |
| 80 |
Prophet web site still says no Java. |
| 81 |
|
| 82 |
mark@lightning ~/.mozilla/plugins $ ls -la |
| 83 |
total 12 |
| 84 |
drwxr-xr-x 2 mark users 4096 2007-11-12 12:56 . |
| 85 |
drwx------ 4 mark users 4096 2007-11-12 12:56 .. |
| 86 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mark users 70 2007-11-12 12:56 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> |
| 87 |
/opt/emul-linux-x86-java-1.6.0.03/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so |
| 88 |
mark@lightning ~/.mozilla/plugins $ |
| 89 |
|
| 90 |
I used the first link but maybe that's wrong since it points at the |
| 91 |
emul-linux directory? |
| 92 |
|
| 93 |
Thanks, |
| 94 |
