How to enable flash plugin in Chromium

[Yuwen Dai]

Dear all,

I use the chromium browser in Debina 7(wheezy).  To enable Adobe Flash
plugin, I download the plugin for debian, and copy the "libflashplayer.so"
to ~/.config/chromium/Default/Extensions.  But flash is still disabled.
chrome://version shows flash is disable, and chrom://plugins shows there's
no flash plugin.  Any suggestion?   Thanks.

Yuwen

The problem is that Adobe does nothing well while other companies _do_ 
and this remains true not only for their linux apps but also for their 
windows product line so this is not a casualty, something fails within 
Adobe.

P.S. Ralf, I like to see deviations from the main subject but consider in

There's no reason for even market economy to be evil. Of course, there's
a small border between social market and "vanilla market economy".

Yup... and the worst thing is that "nspluginwrapper" used to be quite 
problematic (leading to browser freeze) or at least that's what I recall 
when we had to use it because no native flash player plugin was available 
for 64 bits.

I wonder if Adobe is going to do something right any time. What a 
deficient company, gosh...

Hmmm ... I've found this post[1]. It signals the same issue I'm
having. I guess I would have to install the 32 bit version of
libflashplayer.so; it looks weird to have a functional 64 bit version
for Iceweasel/Midori but a nspluginwrapper-endorsed 32 bit version for Epiphany.

First, ensure the "about:plugins" lists the Adobe Flash plugin.

Wait... the above links seems to point that the newer Epiphany is based 
in GTK3 and thus cannot work with Adobe Flash Player which is GTK2 based 
so it needs "nspluginwrapper". I wonder if this really the problem

Flash plugin not working in Epiphany

[Razvan Deaconescu]

Hi!

I'm using Debian Wheezy, updated, on AMD64, with Gnome 3.4,
flashplugin-nonfree 2.8.3. Flash plugin is working in Iceweasel and
Midori but not under Epiphany.

I've followed the steps here[1] but with no success.

Could you please point me to a solution to this issue?

That all looks OK; the problem with flashplayer is that it blindly uses
alsa card 0 to play its sound, regardless of how you configured your
desktop environment and/or pulseaudio. This means that you have to
reorder the cards (as far as alsa is concerned) if you want flashplayer
to use the CA0106. Try this sequence of commands as root or with sudo:

  modprobe -r snd_intel8x0
  modprobe -r snd_ca0106
  modprobe snd_ca0106 index=0
  modprobe snd_intel8x0 index=1

If there are any errors with the first two commands ("FATAL: Module
snd_XXX is in use.") then you have to log out from your desktop
environment and issue the commands on a VT. The four modprobe commands
will unload the drivers of both soundcards and then reload them with an
explicit assignment of card index 0 to the CA0106. You can check if this
has worked with "cat /proc/asound/cards" and then try flashplayer again.

The ordering of the cards can be made persistent across reboots by
creating a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ with the following content (three
lines):

# added by Sian on 2012-02-19 to ensure that CA0106 is card 0
options snd_ca0106 index=0
options snd_intel8x0 index=1

If you want an Open Source flash player implementation try gnash 
otherwise the flashplugin-nonfree will basically download and install 
the player from Adobe.

flash plugin for firefox and chrome

[J. Bakshi]

Hello list,

What packages should I install in debian so that firefox and chrome can
play flash?  It is already there in ububtu. Don't know the name though
of those packages in ubuntu.

Wow, that's great, thanks. That works for me here on fluxbox (should
have mentioned I'm using fluxbox earlier).

A workaround that seems to fix the problem for me is to add the
following to ~/.mozilla/firefox/rc, or /etc/iceweasel/iceweaselrc for a
global setting:

---
# This is to fix flash where left-clicks dont work:
# See

GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS

Thanks for you help, Tyler.

I forgot to mention that I am using Iceweasel, although that was
probably assumed.

Thanks to the info reported by Kumar, Camaleón and Tyler, I've isolated
the problem to my window manager - fvwm2.

If I start a gnome session with metacity, the flash plugin works
properly. When running with fvwm2, I get the problems described above.

Camaleón's workaround works for me too - that is, right click for the
context menu, then double left-click on the button you want to activate.

Why a left-click seems to go "through" the window, but a right-click
does not is beyond me. I'll fiddle with my fvwm config and see if I can
make a difference.

Yes, I'm having the same problem you described (below) on testing on a
32 bit machine. We're not alone, when I tried to trouble shoot this I
found a bunch of forum posts
( http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=650257 ) detailing the
issue.

A 'fix' that works for me is to right-click on the flash screen, then
double-left click on the flash button (play, pause, full-screen etc).
This works on Hulu, the only way I can view videos full screen.

Hopefully this will be resolved in the next version of the flash plugin
or gtk, but I don't understand the details.

Cheers,

Tyler

It runs fine (all the "fine" flashpayer can run) under Lenny.

That site is working here. The "play" button starts the movie.

Have you seen any warning message logged in the Iceweasel "console error" 
once you click in the play button? Maybe your problem comes from browser 
(and javacript), and not from flashplayer plugin itself.

I have faced several problems; non-free software is often not so
reliable.

I am able to play that video; I am using Adobe Labs' amd64 Flash
plugin (a web search will get you the plugin). However, do note that
that plugin does not work well with Lenny, due to some issues with the
minimum required versions libraries it is linked with.

Sorry for not being much help.

Flash plugin problem - cant click - amd64 unstable

[Cameron Hutchison]

Is anyone else having problems with the flash plugin
(flashplugin-nonfree) on unstable on a 64-bit platform?

On some sites, the flash videos load but the plugin seems to ignore my
mouse clicks so I can't start the video playing. This does not happen on
all sites - snotr.com works ok, but the video on this page:

http://www.heatbeads.com.au/bbq-tips/44-bbq-tips/149-how-to-light-weber-bbq-heat-beads.html

does not work. I cannot interact with the player at all. All my clicks
are ignored. I can right click to get the context menu, but if I select
"Settings..." I get a dialog that I cannot interact with.

This started happening not so long ago (sometime in the last month I
guess, but I dont use flash sites much so I dont know exactly).

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling flashplugin-nonfree but that
made no difference.

adobe flash plugin, missing dependencies

[Peter Mueller]

Hi Debian fellows,

is it possible that you can add two more dependencies to synaptic to
make the Adobe flash plugin from the  debian (non free) repo proper
running? (tested with Lenny x386 32 Bits)

libnspr4-dev
libnss3-dev


background: tested with manual install of the Adobe flash player
file that was directly obtained from Adobe after deinstalling of flash
with syaptic

# dpkg -i install_flash_player_10_linux.deb 
(Reading database ... 183405
files and directories currently installed.) 
Unpacking adobe-flashplugin (from
install_flash_player_10_linux.deb) ... 
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of adobe-flashplugin:
adobe-flashplugin depends on libnspr4-dev; however: Package
libnspr4-dev is not installed. 
adobe-flashplugin depends on libnss3-dev; however: Package libnss3-dev
is not installed.


Best regards and keep on rocking

It's slightly trickier than that, because the mozilla apps create a
random profile directory for each user.  Mine looks like this:
2mcnlajk.default

That makes it tricky to cp to all users at once, and makes it damn hard
to include in /etc/skel.  I'll keep working on it though...

Thank you and well done.  The only small problem remaining is that you are
still posting in html (that is, in plain text and also in html).

In gmail, is there not something to click to select "plain text" or
deselect "rich text formatting" or similar?

Er, I meant "reply to recipients". It's actually labeled Reply to All in
Evolution, so I got confused. :/

Dear Star Liu,

This is top posting. It means writing your reply *above* what you are
replying to, instead of *below*. People are asking you to stop doing
that; finding out how to turn off HTML mail *does* depend on which
e-mail provider you use, but top posting *doesn't*!

Also, please don't send your debian-user messages to list servers other
than lists.debian.org! If you do, and we hit "reply to sender" in our
e-mail clients, we can't be certain it will get to debian-users. Plus,
it gets such a high volume of messages that some of us have filters to
send messages from it to a special folder; sending to anything but
debian-user@lists.debian.org can defeat such filters (it did for me)!

Which bit of "please don't top post" don't you understand?

It really does make it very difficult for other people reading this
thread.

Also, it is best if you use plain text only.  Please lose the html part.
Thank you.

I have a similar problem, but I go to a few sites (namely
www.lexmark.com) and there is the icon about "Click here to download
plugins".  I have clicked on it and nothing happens.  No errors or
anything.  I figure it is java or some plugin like that.  I go to that
site and try to download its browser plugins.  I am using "GNOME Web
Browser 2.14.3" (Epiphany) with "Using “gecko-1.8” backend"

Ps. On a second note similar to the first.  The reason why I am going to

This package contains runtime libraries for the ia32/i386

Do you have the multimedia repository in your sources.list?  If not,
add 

deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org lenny main

to your sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list).  Then, after
updating, install flashplugin-nonfree.  That should work.  If not, you
could also install the flashplayer-mozilla package.

There is no flash player for 64 bit anything, at least not yet. I read that 
the folks at macromedia/adobe were working on it but nothing yet. It's been a 
long time coming, must be something perplexing about getting 64 bit support 
into the flash player.

Well, still no can do!

But found the answer anyway:

   Adobe Flash Player installer.

I downloaded the new plugin from the Adobe page + created

Untarred the tarball as user and ran ./flashplayer-installer.

It told me:
NOTE: Please ask your administrator to remove the xpti.dat from the

which I did. Then about:plugins in iceweasel shows:

Shockwave Flash

Shockwave Flash

File name: libflashplayer.so
Shockwave Flash 7.0 r63
...

which is correct because the global installation still has 7.0 and my 
private installation has 9.0.


However, when I go here:

it still tells me I don't have the latest plugin.

Anybody else see that?

I had the problem of having the correct flash player version show up 
when I first switched too.  I did my install manually, but made it 
global as there are multiple accounts on this computer.  What I did to 
cure this was run "locate libflashplayer.so, or whatever the correct 
name of that file is,  and then copy the new flash player .so file to 
those locations over-writing the old version. 


It cured the problem for me.

Thanks.  My sources were in fact the problem.  I changed the sources to: 

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free 

and then I updated it, and the problem was solved.  It installed the flash 
plugin perfectly after that.

heh. well, sorry to burst your bubble, but sid's not all that

Re: flash plugin

I've got iceweasel installed and the installed files list shows a 
directory called 'plugins', located here:


/usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins

This is where I'd look to put the Flash files, if I wanted them to be 
globally active (for all possible users of the system).  But, you can 
have a private plugin directory, for your account.  Put the files in 
$HOME/.mozilla/plugins, which does *not* exist by default, so you need 
to create it.


The system plugin directory will always exist.  Both Iceweasel and 
Firefox have default plugins that are part of the base package and are 
installed there.


I just downloaded a new plugin, for testing purposes, and put the .so 
file in my .mozilla/plugins directory, and it loaded and ran perfectly. 
 In this case, the plugin loaded and worked without a restart of the 
browser, but you may find it's necessary to exit and restart the browser 
before some plugins work.

I can understand that.  I have all of the above, and yes have to answer

Why are you all making such a big deal of this?  If you're using
IceWeasel, all you have to do it hit any webpage that uses flash
(http://distrowatch.com for example) and click on the install missing
plugin icon.  It will install Flash 9.0... at least it did for me.

In etch or Sid?  Sid has had "release" 9.0 for a few weeks.

as has already been mentioned, just grab the tarball and install it
yourself.

But, you have reminded me... the release went final but the debian
package hasn't been updated so it 1) can't find the file for download
and 2) if you manually download it and rename it, it can't install
because the md5 sum doesn't match... I'm off to check the bug reports
and file one if needed.

Hi.  I use aptitude, and yes, I have run both aptitude update, and aptitude 
dist-upgrade recently.  The mirrors I use are:

deb http://debian.mirrors.tds.net/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.mirrors.tds.net/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
# multimedia
deb http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/os/Linux/distributions/debian-multimedia testing 
main

I tried running aptitude update, and aptitude upgrade, just now, and nothing.  
I then tried apt-get update, followed by apt-get upgrade, and nothing changed.  
The version of flashplugin-nonfree is 9.0.21.78.3.  I'll check and see if this 
is the same as the version I have at work.  Perhaps I should change my sources.

Mark

What version of flashplugin-nonfree is installed? I ask because your
machine is trying to fetch a beta version of Flash. It should be
looking for Flash 9 final. Have done an 'apt-get update && apt-get

Hi Mark,
Just get the tarball directly from Adobe. You can find it here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&promoid=BIOW
The installation instructions are on this link but I just manually stick the
two files in ~/.mozilla/plugins. The files are flashplayer.xpt and
libflashplayer.so. I'm running Firefox and this is where it wants them.
Cheers,
Jonathan

flash plugin

[Mark Grieveson]

Hello.  I'm having problems with the flashplugin-nonfree package.  Both 
installing it, and trying to reconfigure it, fail.  It attempts to download an 
older file that does not exist.  I then downloaded the recent file from the 
adobe site, but the flashplugin-nonfree package did not recognize it.  

Here is a printout of the error I get when I try to reconfigure it:

If anyone has any tips on how I can fix this, I would appreciate it.  I did 
manage, on another computer at my work, to get flash installed with this 
package; so, why it won't work on my home computer is a mystery.  I'm using 
Etch.

Hi!

Is there any way I can tell macromedia's (adobe's :) mozilla flash 
plugin to output sound to hw:0,2 instead of default?
(if this is possible with the libflash-mozplugin package, please tell me 
about that instead :)

Thanks!

Hi there,

I had the same problem.  The only thing I could figure was the
obvious.  I downloaded the file from macromedia and installed
following their instructions. It works fine.

Good luck

I too found that FP7 would regularly crash FF 1.0.x.  FF 1.5, though,
is highly stable with FP7.

Since you're Etch, though, you'll either have to get it from mozilla,
or suffer until 1.5 makes it's way to Etch.

Damn!  I visited pier1 to see if I could reproduce the symptoms,
and not only do the drop-down menus not work properly (they hide behind
the flashy graphic) but closing the tab crashed firefox!  (1.0.7

You'll get flashplugin-nonfree 7.0.63.1 that works perfectly.
 


It doesn't work perfectly for me. Either installing the software direct

I see the same problems you describe at toyota.com.

flash 7.0.63.1 from neris.
firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.1-4

In Win2k, using FF 1.5.0.1 and Flash 8.0r24, it works fine.

pier1.com (your wife made you go there, right???) worked fine, with
the little testing I tried.  What exact problem(s) are you having 
with it?


  
Same problem with th drop list: on the the main page the "shop" drop 
down list is hidden?/doesn't drop down. I don't dual boot or have 
immediate access to a windows machine when I am home, but using Firefox 
on winXP on a friends laptop, all seems to work fine. The Toyota site 
doesn't even have an option for a non-flash site.

I see the same problems you describe at toyota.com.

flash 7.0.63.1 from neris.
firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.1-4

In Win2k, using FF 1.5.0.1 and Flash 8.0r24, it works fine.

pier1.com (your wife made you go there, right???) worked fine, with
the little testing I tried.  What exact problem(s) are you having 
with it?

It doesn't work perfectly for me. Either installing the software direct 
from macromedia, or from the above mentioned method. I still have 
trouble with sites like Toyota.com or Pier1.com. The drop down lists 
don't show, or they half show behind the current graphic. Could not  
build a car because the zip code filed remains empty after trying to 
enter any number numerous times.


I have trouble with other sites as well. I still can't figure out if 
something is misconfigured or the Linux package is just buggy. Could 
someone humor me and please try the  (the USA) www.toyota.com website?

Not exactly an answer, but why don't you install
flashplayer-mozilla_7.0.61.0-0.1_i386.deb from ftp.nerim.net. That sets
up things correctly.

 

Not at all the answer I wanted but still much appreciated. After 
removing "flashplugin-nonfree", which conflicted, that works perfectly.


I'd love to understand why the debian system method doesn't work though. 
Clearly it'd be nicer to have a script you can run occasionally that 
checks for and installs updated plugins with little interaction. The 
output message above from the update-flashplugin script suggests it's 
decided there's already a flash player installed, but this is a newly 
built machine with virtually nothing done to it yet except a newly built 
kernel, X and WindowMaker.
   



Put this in your sources.list:
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sid main

Adjust for sid or testing as to your system needs.
# apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

You'll get flashplugin-nonfree 7.0.63.1 that works perfectly.

 



That's what I'm running now, but I pulled the deb package down and 
installed it manually. I run sarge stable, and am nervous about adding 
third party testing or unstable entries to my sources list. Is this even 
advisable?


Both you and Mr Sridhar have suggested exactly the same thing, which 
implies to me that the sarge flashplugin-nonfree package is known to be 
faulty - is that the case?


Thanks for your help.

Put this in your sources.list:
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sid main

Adjust for sid or testing as to your system needs.
# apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

You'll get flashplugin-nonfree 7.0.63.1 that works perfectly.
