Opensuse 11.2 Firefox unresponsive to Flash Player Standard

#1

For some reason in with flash websites, which is most of the websites, although the content loads and plays fine, i can’t click on any of the flash buttons or UI, which gets annoying on product websites ( Alienware Computers - Custom-Built Gaming Desktops and Laptops ) or to rewind parts of a youtube video or go HD (like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uuc7FuNvCYw) ) but videos like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6aEWrsLFWs

I had some problems with the flash UI also. This is how I managed to fix it:

Edit → Preferences → Applications

Under ‘Content Type’ I changed the Shockwave flash file to “Use shockwave flash (in firefox).” It was originally set to “Use flashplayer (default).”

#3

it was already set to that, and setting it the reversed way still doesn’t make a difference…

#4

Which version of adobe flash is installed on your system?

#5

Flash Player 10.0.32.18

#6

ok im on to something, i just reinstalled

flashplayer works perfectly fine in everything, but once i downloaded packman gstreamer bad and ugly (for mp4 playback) now flashplayer only works in only a handful of videos/playback.

#7

uh anyone? this is an annoying issue…

#8

ok issue solved by myself, i uninstalled the packman flashplayer, and installed the 64 bit flash player from adobe labs, works fine now.

[solved]

#9

Hmmmm,

I installed the latest flash, flash-plugin/10.0.32.18-release/Adobe Flash PlugIn and standalone Player, but still no controls as in the you-tube video posted in this thread.

deinstall your falshplayer from adobe and reinstall it with the package pullin-flashplayer. Thats a package which will download the appropriate version of flash.

#11

I had this problem with mouse click not registering in flash windows. Found it particularly annoying not being able to close ads in youtube vids. Heres a bug report with workaround that solved the problem for me

THANKS!

file: /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer

#!/bin/sh
TARGET_OS=linux
TARGET_ARCH=i386
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
. /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/noarch/npviewer

That did the trick … flash works correctly now!

#13

openSUSE released new versions of flash player and pullin flashplayer. The online update will solve all problems.

#14

so i deleted flash and flash pullin. reinstalled the puller and now…what next.
reinstalling flahs via yast doesn’t help at all.

no such file!
file: /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer

even starting in the term after: export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true
doesn’t hlep although that helps with eclipse

Hello,

On my system, the file /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer is owned by the package nspluginwrapper-1.2.2-5.6.1.i586. It would be a slightly different location on a 64 bit install. Make sure you have the nspluginwrapper package …

FYI … I also installed the flash plugin from the adobe site:
[root@dolphin]# rpm -qa |grep -i flash
pullin-flash-player-11.2.1-0.1.1.i586
flash-player-10.0.32.18-3.2.1.i586
flash-plugin-10.0.32.18-release.i386

Good luck!

wow a much annoying bug has gone. Thanks.

installed flash-plugin. i only had pullin and player and finally added that line to npviewer.
Works rotfl!

#17

This is what I had to do. I also had to uninstall nspluginwrapper.
