 Has anybody achieved flash on mozilla, firefox or epiphany ?
 I looked for flash-plugin on amd64 but had no success.
 I installed flash-player probing. Announces of flash-plugin needed
 disappeared but now I only get one-color-square in place of flash-spot.
 All suggestions welcomed.
 Thanks.
 
 
 
I recommend chroot+firefox/epiphany/mozilla+macromedia flash player

Re: flash on mozilla

   I spent a bit of time on this - did not succeed but I do think that 
if you are running 32 bit firefox/mozilla and have the necessary 
libraries in your 32 bit emulation area (the default ia32 compat package 
does not have all necessary libs) this is going to work.

Thank you for paying attention,

I've stuck with Ubuntu Server 5.10 AMD64 for time being,
because it's a stable distribution, and recognizes the
 


Debian Sarge (a stable release) is also available on amd64.
   



I've tried that, but it doesn't support the hardware on
that particular motherboard out of the box (e.g. the NIC
is unsupported in stable, but is supported in unstable daily
builds).

Re: Mirror list

Yeah, you really should host a mirror - more mirrors means more places
to distribute the bandwidth load.

Tell me one thing though: is this OC-12 line into your house or
workplace???  I've been trying for ages to get a ISP that'll let me
host with even a bloody cable broadband connexion, however, since my
area was one of the first to be wired with cable broadband, they're
not going to re-wire it until hell freezes over (not the one in
Alaska).

Sorry, ISPs are a major sore-spot of mine...  yeah, you should
certainly make an effort to host a mirror.  What locale would your
mirror be in?  the US?  I think that there's a lack of mirrors in the
US personally...  I would love to remedy that, but as I said before,
I'm in no situation to host anything, the least part of the problem
being that my current ISP has me vow to *not* host anything.  To host
would be a breach of contract and then they could terminate my service
for TV, phone, internet.. the whole works.  If you ever are in a
position to destroy a part of Comcast's property, please do so, since
they've got a abhorrant stranglehold monopoly on my area...


And as to fixing the mirrors list, it didn't change from where I
browse.  You sure it's work'n?  We should certainly try to convince
more of the other mirrors that host other bits of debian to add amd64
to their lists, since the i386 mirrors are many and fast, perhaps some
of the more techno-literate among us should offer to help upgrade
their mirrors, since the mirrors generally run themselves (it looks
like that to me, anyways) and the main bits of pain are adding other
parts of the repositories.  We certainly should work harder to promote
the amd64 architecture... I mean... we've been rather slothful,
haven't we??? RedHat has had amd64 for a long while, and the amd64
architecture has been on the market almost a year in a half now (if
not more... what was the first thing that goes?? I can't seem to
remember... ; )  I can't claim much of the responsibity of not
promoting amd64... but I think that there's a fair number of amd64
people running i386 (all those registers - unused! sniff...) so we
certainly should be working either harder or smarter



32 bit firefox on amd64 system

2005-10-29 Thread Nathan O. Siemers
Related to recent threads (installation of flash on firefox, etc).  I've 
got a debootstrap ia32 system installed in /emul.  The intent is to 
install firefox (i386) from tarballs at mozilla.org and use it without 
chrooting.


I got past an initial missing libgtk-x11 library by installing it in the 
/emul area (by chrooting into the /emul/ia32-linux area and running apt) 
and running ldconfig.


The next issue may be tricker - firefox/gtk seems to be looking in an 
exact location for pango libraries, finding the x86-64 versions, and 
failing:


(firefox-bin:18830): Pango-WARNING **: 
/usr/lib/pango/1.4.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.so: cannot open shared 
object file: No such file or directory


Failed to load Pango module for id: 'BasicScriptEngineFc'

(firefox-bin:18830): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion 
`G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed


(firefox-bin:18830): Pango-CRITICAL **: _pango_engine_shape_shape: 
assertion `PANGO_IS_FONT (font)' failed


NOTE: /usr/lib/pango/1.4.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.so exists on the amd64 
host system.


I'm considering some hacking like:  symlinking /emul/ia32-linux to the 
root directory of the ia32 distribution, modifying ld.so.conf (ia32) to 
point only to these symlinked library areas, and running ldconfig (ia32 
chroot).  I have a funny feeling this is not going to work.  Anyone with 
experience with these types of problems: any advice is appreciated.  If 
I have any success I'll let folks know.


Nathan

Working on it currently.  I will notify all the
appropriate people once I'm done with the initial rsync and am
ready for the push part of the mirror.

 Tell me one thing though: is this OC-12 line into your house or
 workplace???  I've been trying for ages to get a ISP that'll let me

OC-12 at home...  Wouldn't that be nice!  No, that's
definitely at work (Texas AM University).  There is no way I
could afford the cost of that OC-12 personally.  An OC-12 is
roughly 622.08Mbps (either direction) while I only have a 5Mbps
down/768Kbps up cable connection at home.  I think we currently
pay around $120,000USD for the OC-12 at work.

Personally speaking, hosting anything of any size (this
mirror for example) on a home connection is next to useless.  I
feel for you in looking for a decent provider in the boondocks.
I have a friend in Northwest Washington who ended up going with
DirecPC/Direcway (http://www.direcway.com/) because that was
really his only option.  He says the speed is decent (equivalent
to slower DSL or cable modem service) but that the latency is
pretty high.  That's to be expected when the first and last leg
of every route adds an additional 40,000 miles or so to the total
distance!

But I certainly wouldn't want to host any high traffic
services on such a connection.  It would be much better to lease
a dedicated server elsewhere for this type of service, although
prices are pretty high going this route too.  Unmetered 20Mbps
service starts around $239USD to give you an idea.

 Sorry, ISPs are a major sore-spot of mine...  yeah, you should
 certainly make an effort to host a mirror.  What locale would your
 mirror be in?  the US?  I think that there's a lack of mirrors in the
 US personally...  I would love to remedy that, but as I said before,

The mirror will be in Texas.  As long as you have a
decent connection at home, your downlink will most likely be
saturated from this end.
