Gnash on ppc
Hi, I compiled from cvs gnash, according to the manual it should work smoothly, though it doesn't specify if that includes pcc arch. I followed the man and added the gnash support in the mozplugger. ¤ gnash --version Gnash 0.7.1 ¤ firefox about:plugins MozPlugger 1.7.3 handles QuickTime Windows Media Player Plugin [...] application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Gnash swf Yes The standalone player seems to work, veeery slowly, but the embed does not.

I've never tried Gnash, but if you're specifically looking for youtube and google video, then try the following site: http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php I've used it a couple of times before to download a video from youtube.

Hello!

I think the installer of that flavor (with the most minimal initrd) is supposed to get the needed modules from the net (which IMHO is a very cool property of d-i). However, my own experience with this stems from boot-floppies of different flavors, not CDs. Before anything can be fetched from the net, the nic must be recognized. If the installer does not recognize your nic then I would suspect one of the following: A) wrong flavor used: (a initrd that has modules for different cd:s rather than different nics B) a bug in the installer (the nic module for your particular nic should have been included in the initrd). > >B.

Yeah, that does sounds like what you need. Now, since you are netbooting, everything needed must reside in the initrd (it doesn't help if its on the business-image outside the initrd). Have you looked on the cd and can you verify that there is no other needed files on that cd than the initrd and the kernel. > After having installed the very base system my idea is to perform an > apt-get upgrade and give the list of packages to download to a friend > of mine with a fast connection. Sure, but "the very base system" (the base system) is a lot more than what is included in the initrd. So, you have to get the installer to recognize your nic (and download the packages that makes up the base system) in order to install the base system. > This way: > dpkg --get-selection >list.txt from my x86 > dpkg --set-selections and i'll need a way to transfer this list, usb key or via net in some way. > apt-get --print-uris -s dselect-upgrade > > And then, once i have got the packages, i'll try to install an ftp > server on my x86 to finish the install ( even if i don't know how i can > organize the structure of the dirs, iirc there is an automated tool but > i don't remember its name ).

The latest (and only) release of Gnash is currently waiting in the NEW queue to enter experimental. It is the 1st alpha release, according to upstream. Standalone gnash works quite good for me. There seem to be some instability problems with the plugins though. Upstream are working on that. My latest CVS-based packages of Gnash are from 30th of May, and (after some days of problems in building the original sources) seem to be OK. I'm not really willing to maintain a CVS-based version inside Debian's repositories, but I'd prefer to wait until a new release is done. I probably won't get it out of experimental until upstream formally releases a beta version. > Is it done? Usable? Testable? Any idea about the problems ancountered > by Federico? > "The standalone player seems to work, veeery slowly, but the embed does > not.

It's testeable and maybe usable for some things, but it's not in the state to be given to end users yet. It seems you might be having some problem with OpenGL acceleration. Gnash uses OpenGL right now for rendering, although Upstream is working on that too. The README file in the release waiting in the NEW queue says: The first alpha release of Gnash has just been made at version 0.7.1. Gnash is a GPL'd Flash movie player and browser plugin for Firefox, Mozilla, Konqueror, and Opera. Gnash supports many SWF v7 features and ActionScript3 classes. Gnash also runs on many GNU/Linux distributions, embedded GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, non x86 processors, and 64 bit architectures. Ports to Darwin and Windows are in progress for a future release. The plugin works best with Firefox 1.5 or newer, and should work in any Mozilla based browser. There is also a standalone player for GNOME or KDE based desktops. Gnash supports the majority of Flash opcodes up to SWF version 7, and a wide sampling of ActionScript classes for SWF version 8.5. All the core ones are implemented, and many of the newer ones work, but may be missing some of their methods. If the browser only displays a blank window, it is likely because of an unimplemented feature. All unimplemented opcodes and ActionScript classes and methods print a warning when using -v with gnash or gprocessor. Using gprocessor -v is a quick way to see why a movie isn't playing correctly.
