If you have additions to this please post a followup to this thread, keeping the Cc: (I'm not on -questions...) 1. You need RELENG_7 from at least Mon Oct 20 11:15:57 2008 UTC (the relevant MFC commits are: http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revisionrevision=183819 http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revisionrevision=184075 - a recent HEAD should also work of course.) There are linprocfs patches for RELENG_6 too (merging the former commit), but the latter commit can't be merged to 6 (and 7.0) since they lack the cpuset bits, so flash9 probably won't work on SMP there. (Although if you have SMP you probably should be running 7 anyway. :) Oh and if you do have SMP you also need to use the ULE scheduler, the cpuset syscalls are not supported with 4BSD. linprocfs patches for 6: http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/linprocfs-6.3.patchhttp://people.freebsd.org/%7Enox/linprocfs-6.3.patch http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/linprocfs-6.4.patchhttp://people.freebsd.org/%7Enox/linprocfs-6.4.patch 2. Your portstree needs to be from at least Sun Oct 19 17:37:28 2008 UTC (the last www/linux-flashplugin9 commit is: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-ports/2008-October/158404.html ) 3. Make sure linprocfs is mounted to /compat/linux/proc . 4. Make sure www/nspluginwrapper, www/linux-flashplugin9 and dependencies are installed and up to date(!). (the default emulators/linux_base-fc4 should work, if you want to use a later one don't forget to set compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 in sysctl.conf and OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT to whichever version you use in make.conf. Note however that on 6, only the default compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.2 really works.) 5. If the plugin doesnt show up in firefox' about:plugins, run nspluginwrapper -i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so and restart firefox. 6. And remember there's a security advisory for the current version of flash9, http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/portaudit/78f456fd-9c87-11dd-a55e-00163e00 0016.html (if you use portaudit you need to `make -DDISABLE_VULNERABILITIES ...' to be able to install the port), and fc4 seems to be eol'd too, so you probably want to install something like the noscript firefox extension, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722 and only allow plugins (and scripts, tho thats a different problem) on sites you trust... And finally, if you still get crashes after following the above even on pages that are reported to work now (like youtube) you probably want to run `ktrace -di firefox...' and look at the output using linux_kdump (thats the devel/linux_kdump port, you want to use a package), paying specific attention to the lines above `PSIG SIGSEGV' (or whichever signal you got), maybe there are still shlibs missing that the plugin needs (NAMI ...something.so...), and if this is the case tell us about it so the appropriate dependencies can be added to the relevant ports. If you can't figure it out I guess it doesn't hurt to post the last few 100 lines of the dump up to the relevant PSIG on -emulation... You may also want to check linked shlibs like this: /compat/linux/bin/sh /compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so and /compat/linux/bin/sh /compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd /usr/local/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin (if you see `not found' in there you know something is wrong) - although that doesn't show libs that may be dlopen()d at runtime. Thanks for this. I was able to get linux-flashplugin9 working in native Firefox 3.0.3 on FreeBSD 7-STABLE i386. The only additional thing I had to do was copy /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so into ~/.mozilla/plugins/ for Firefox to recognize the plugin. Yeah I forgot to note that you want to run nspluginwrapper -i as the user that will run the native browser, not as root, then the wrapper will go into ~/.mozilla/plugins/... After that Youtube, google video, and google maps (incl. street view) work fine, but slow. A friend of mine with a very similar setup was not so lucky and still has problems with flash9 locking up FF. Hmm, lockups I haven't seen yet here.

Read the system logs, basically. /var/log/messages or /var/log/all.log (if you've enabled it). The shutdown(8) command will always write syslog messages when invoked. halt(8) or reboot(8) will write a 'shutdown' record into wtmp (ie. look at 'last shutdown') but don't log anything to syslog. However, you're quite likely to find that there is nothing in the log or wtmp files to explain what happened. All this means is that the system went down suddenly -- perhaps power dropped out momentarily, or a thermal cutout tripped or the system panic'd for one of any number of reasons. You'ld be able to detect log file traces showing fsck(8) being run on the root f/s following any of those sort of unclean shutdowns, and if the system panic'd then you may well have a core dump sitting in /var/db/crash -- depends whether you've enabled that functionality or not.
