Brian: When I ran nspluginscan, a bunch of unfriendly messages also flew by, but I decided to ignore them, and so far I have not had any problems.
Let's make sure we're talking about the same things here -- I have a (fairly) clean new install of 8.2 and KDE 2.2.2. I installed Flash from the PowerPack Commercial CD. (Netscape 6 had already been installed.) This put ShockwaveFlash.class and libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/netscape/plugins; it also put README and readme.html in /usr/share/doc/FlashPlayer-5.0. I then downloaded kdebase-plugins-2.2.2-93mdk.i586.rpm and installed it with Software Manager, ran nspluginscan and rebooted. After that, it was just a matter of running the Scan for new plugins function from Konquer --> Settings --> Configure --> Netscape Plugins. Possible problems: 1. Check that /usr/lib/netscape/plugins does contain the two Flash files mentioned above. It's possible that Flash may have put them someplace else -- perhaps a /flash_linux directory. 2. Did you close and re-open KDE after running nspluginscan? (Hmm -- my notes show that I did a reboot -- old habits are hard to break. Think it makes any difference?) 3. Did then you run the Scan for new plugins in Konqueror? -- cmg On Thursday 23 May 2002 10:30 pm, you wrote: > Sorry to have appeared dim here, but after another careful look I think > maybe it's not me - something is screwy.
