Re: Flash Player

2007-02-02 Thread Michael M. Press

I am running firefox from the ports and have the following ports installed to 
try and make this work but it will not.


flashplugin-mozilla-0.4.13 A GPL standalone Flash (TM) plugin for Mozilla web 
browser
libflash-0.4.13_1 GPL Flash (TM) Library
linux-flashplugin-7.0r69 Adobe Flash Player NPAPI Plugin

gnash-0.7.1_1 GNU Flash movie player

firefox-2.0.0.1_1,1 Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla



I would recommend installing the linux-firefox port. It can coexist
with the native freebsd firefox that you already have (in case you
want to keep it for some reason), and it is an easy way to fix all the
flash player problems.

Re: Firefox mess in Freebsd 6.1

2007-01-17 Thread Michael M. Press


The flash plugin works great with linux-firefox; but how do you get the
java plugin to work with it?



I don't know if there is a way to get a FreeBSD version of the Java
plugin to work. If you have a Linux version of it sitting around:

cd /usr/local/lib/linux-firefox/plugins
ln -s 
/usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so

...should do it. Of course your libjavaplugin might be in a different
location than mine.

Re: Firefox mess in Freebsd 6.1

2007-01-17 Thread Michael M. Press

I need to try  the Warren's method  to see if that is going to help me,
first of all I need to read man portupgrade to perform the upgrade from 6.1to
6.2 , as i am new into this freebsd world.


The really easy way out is to install the linux-firefox port. If you
do this, flash
should just work. There shouldn't be any noticeable performance difference
between the native FreeBSD Firefox browser and the emulated Linux one, either.

Re: USB drive is a CDROM drive and is not writable

2007-01-08 Thread Michael M. Press

This sounds like a Smart drive - can you confirm?


I plugged it into a Windows system and it also recognized a CD drive.
In addition, it vomited out a few popup windows and started something
in the system tray. This is so ingenious that I think it must be a 'smart'
drive. An article from the following URL tells me it is a 'U3 smart drive':
http://www.everythingusb.com/u3.html

I didn't know such a thing existed before today.


I have one of these devices myself and simply removed the Smart
partition to reclaim the space it takes up.


Apparently there is a U3 uninstaller:
http://www.u3.com/uninstall/default.aspx


Thanks for the responses everyone. My confusion is gone.

Re: Linux Kernel Drivers in Under FreeBSD

2007-01-08 Thread Michael M. Press

Is it possible to get Linux kernel drivers working under FreeBSD?  If
so, how?  (Specifically Garmin_USB)


I have never heard of anything that would allow a Linux binary driver
to be loaded by FreeBSD, and I doubt it exists. Linux binary applications
certainly can be run on FreeBSD, but not drivers. The only way would be
to get the source code and port it over, and you'd probably have to make
major changes.

USB drive is a CDROM drive and is not writable

2007-01-07 Thread Michael M. Press

I have a 2 gigabyte USB memory stick from made by PNY. When I plug it in, I
get the following:

umass0: vendor 0x0930 USB Flash Memory, rev 2.00/2.00, addr 2
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0:  USB Flash Memory 6.50 Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 40.000MB/s transfers
da0: 1901MB (3894975 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 242C)
cd1 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 1
cd1:  USB Flash Memory 6.50 Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device
cd1: 40.000MB/s transfers
cd1: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present

I want to be able to mount the device read-write, so I use the
following command:

mount -t cd9660 -o rw /dev/cd1 /media/flashdrv

The command runs without spitting any errors at me, but it does a read-only
mount. I can see files on the drive, but (of course) I can't change them. Does
my problem have anything to do with the device being detected as a CD-ROM
drive? If that is what's wrong I don't really know where to start
looking to fix it.
Any ideas?

-- I have 'device pass' in my kernel
-- I am using 6.2 prerelease
