How can I remove npviewer?

[  784.064765] npviewer.bin[2641]: segfault at ff99cd48 ip 00000000ff99cd48 sp 00000000ffae852c error 14

It seems to be related to nspluginswrapperr, which I would prefer not to use.

nspluginwrapper is required on _64 machines using the 32 bit flash-player

If you want to try removing them both and manually installing the _64bit flash-player

Download here: Adobe Labs - Downloads: Flash Player 10 for 64-bit Linux

• Extract the plugin, and place a copy of it in /usr/lib64/browser-plugins
• Restart firefox. Check that firefox sees the plugin by looking in the Add-ons.

I guess nspluginwrapper is a default part of 11.2 RC 64 bit. I certainly didn't install it.

However, as a matter of habit, I always install the 64 bit flash player manually. I did this without even realizing the nspluginwrapper was installed.

Now I'll try removing nspluginwrapper with

# zypper remove nspluginwrapper

EDIT: success. And my previously installed 64 bit flash still works (as tested on YouTube just now).

Great news. You are really getting the hang of it now!
