Flash not working in Midori 0.2.8 (64-bit) [SOLVED]

[caitlyn]

Hi,

I have the newest Flash-Player-Square plugin installed in 64-bit SalixOS 13.1.1. It works just fine with Firefox and Seamonkey. Obviously, I do have Seamonkey installed. I also have my plugin path set correctly:

Code: Select all

caitlyn[~]$ echo $MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins

Any suggestions?

Same here. Strange.

Try:

Code: Select all

unlink /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
cp /usr/lib64/flashplugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

the symlink doesn't seem to work with midori for some reason.

Don't forget to manually remove the /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so file after removing the package.

Yep, that fixed it. Thanks! I should have thought of that one.

Time to update the Wiki?

We'll probably have a proper package that won't need a fix like this when the final version of the new 64bit plugin is out.

I just installed salix 13.1.1 (32bit) as a fresh install rather than and upgrade on a different box.
I was struggling to get flash to work in Midori, then remembered I had to install the seamonkey-solibs which aren't shown as a dependencies. It might be an idea to put in the description "flashplugin will require seamonkey-solibs to be installed".

The information is already in the wiki, but I'm guessing it won't hurt to put it in the description too when midori gets upgraded for the next version.
