 Yes. 

Install FlashPlayer via urpmi or RPMDRAKE as root.

You will have your dependances figured out for you. by compiling it you are 
missing a crucial file.

I had this problem a little while ago, and it was solved when I used urpmi and 
it found the extra rpm I needed.

I wish I knew the name of that file

And, he makes sure they work right in Mandrake-Linux. Sometimes the RH rpms 
didn't play well with ML, they played, they just didn't play well, so Texstar

Hi Andrei, 
I don't know a lot about Texstar, but he is very highly respected in Linux circles, 
and he produces a lot of really cool software packages. You can check out his stuff 
for Mdk 9.0 here:
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.0/

You can learn more about Texstar at this site:
http://www.pclinuxonline.com/index.php

Others on this list can probably tell you much more than I can about Tex. I'm new to 
the world of Linux. :-)

All the best to you!

PS. If you install Tex's rpms, you may get a warning about bad signatures or some 
such. It is safe to ignore the warning for Tex's packages. This I have been told. I 
have installed several of Tex's rpms with good results.

Greetings, I can recall someone on the list looking for an rpm package to 
install Flash. Well, I see that Tex has released an rpm of the latest 
6.0beta plugin for Mozilla 1.1.

It would be available for Galeon to use w/this rpm install too I believe.

I use the Flash 6.0beta and it's working great.w/Opera too!

It can be had here:
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.0/rpms/mozilla-flash-6.0beta1-1tex.i586.rpm

All the best.

RPMs for flash are available from Mandrake Club, but membership is required.
You can find a binary installer at 
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P5_Language=English
The instructions are quite straightforward.
For Mozilla just make sure you copy the plugin and java class file into 
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.1/plugins
Galeon will work if Mozilla works.
For Konqueror open KDEControlCentre>WebBrowsing>Netscapeplugins and make sure 
that /usr/lib/mozilla-1.1 is one of the paths specified, then 'Scan for new 
plugins'

I'm pretty sure that if you go to the mozilla.org website there are link for 
all the most popular plugins.  If y ou install for mozilla they will 
automatically be available for Galeon.

Step-by-Step (this is the way I do it, you may modify if you wish)

Download the gzipped file  (flash_linux.tar.gz or whatever this version 
happens to be named)
At this point I usually copy the tarball to /usr
As root, I Cd to the directory the file is in (in my case #cd /usr) and 
unpack it with the command:

#tar -xzvf flash_linux.tar.gz  
the command is:   
 tar -xzvf the_flashplayer_tarfile_name

A directory /usr/flash_linux will be created.  Inside that directory will be 
two files --libflashplayer.so & ShockwaveFlash.class

Copy these two files to your /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory  (and to your 
/usr/lib/netscape/plugins directory if you use Netscape)

Now, when you open Mozilla, the Help>about Plug-ins list will have Shockwave 
Flash.  It should work for you (always has for me)

Thats the easier (and my preferred) way of doing it, but you can also 
right-click on the file, pick "extract here", and then "all" with the same 
effect.

Alexa, the file is in a tar zip format. you can upackage it by going into a console and navigating to the folder that the installer is in. Do a change directory command like: cd Documents . Then at the prompt type  "tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz" and hit enter. The file will unzip and place its pacakages. Then you should install as per the instructions in the readme file or on the web page.

Any productive discussion is fine with me whatever the topic.  Your problem is 
somewhat different then mine.  The whole browser freezes?  Mine will load the 
site just not the flash portion.  I guess this is pretty mysterious bcause 
nobody seems to know what the solution is.  Does KDE have a list of any kind 
for Konqueror?

The compact flash media is a different beast. It's just a storage device

http://www.ronniewood.com

Some sites just are not bothering to visit.  That site is covered in microsoft 
javascript.  Even with Flash 6 (Codeweavers crossover ) it does not work.

Opera (Identified as IE5) - Fails to detect Flash  6 is loaded. If I press the 
button to 'Enter Anyway' a blank window pops up.

Mozilla - Same, no detection of Flash6,  blank window if I try to enter.

Konqueror - Does not detect Flash6, but the javascript to enter the site does 
work and a window pops up saying 'URL not found'

Internet Explorer 5 (Under Crossover Office) - Demands to download javascript 
updates. There ain't no way I am letting Microsoft put stuff on my computer 
so I gave up.

   Yep, doesn't work.  I've resisted Flash6 since I can't get my head 
around where it wants to install, and I have some contempt for tainting 
my system with their binary junk anyhow. Fortunately I only place their 
crap on my system to avoid gettin endless pop-up pages askin me if I 
want to d/l Flash. Same with Sun's java. (j2re-1.4.0_01-1mdk)

 FWIW, Flash can cause nasty crashes with KDE 3.1rc2 and still in rc3. I 
doubt it'll be solved with 3.1 final.  As Civileme said, 'the more 
closed source proprietary secret stuff you inject into your first class 
Linux OS, the less you own it' (paraprhrase)

You could be right - Mozilla and Galleon perform fine, but Konq freezes every 
time I try to load any of the test sites.

Re: [newbie] flash in Konqueror

[Noah Hicks]

Well I'm not having a problem with the flash version.  The problem for me 
seems to be that Konqueror is not using the plugin.  I am pretty sure I did 
what I was supposed to: untared the files, put them in ~/.mozilla/plugins, 
put that dir in the Konq settings, scanned for new pugins, and still no joy.  
What's up?  Does it matter where I put the files?  As long as I tell 
Konqueror where to scan it should pick up the libflashplayer.so and 
ShockwaveFlash.class file shouldn't it work?  As far as I can tell Konqueror 
can't read any part of a website that has a *.swf.
Thanks for pointers

Interesting.  I tried the site, and the first one I tried said:

YOU DO NOT HAVE THE CORRECT VERSION OF
THE FLASH PLAYER INSTALLED

This site requires the Macromedia Flash 6 plug-in. This is a free
plug-in which allows you to view animated content on the web.
The download is quick and it is easy to install.

Click here to download the Flash 6 plug-in.

When I did it offered my v.5, which is installed!  The others work OK though, 
so no worries.  I'm still wondering why I can't see any of the tabs or 
buttons on Amazon's site in Mozilla but they're fine in Galleon.

Re: [newbie] flash in Konqueror

[Noah Hicks]

Well 
I applied the method you described and no joy.  Going to the URL:
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome/
Gives me the message:
Unable to load Netscape plugin for 
www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/triggerpages_mmcom/'
I get this message in the "Macromedia Flash Player" box under the macromedia 
player.  
Since this works in Mozzila I assumed it would work in Konqueror using the 
method you gave.
Any ideas?  Could this be because I'm using 9.0 Beta 4?
Thanks

   Here's how I do it. I don't use the .netscape dir. d/l and extract 
the flash files, libflashplayer.so*   andShockwaveFlash.class   to 
/home//.mozilla/plugins.  You may need to create a plugins dir if 
it doesn't exist.  If you have flash in Mozilla, you've already done 
something like this.  So.

In Control Center | Web browsing | Plugins, edit the top line to 
read   $HOME/.mozilla/plugins Click on  "Enable plugins globally", 
and then click on "Scan for new plugins".  I leave "Scan for plugins at 
KDE startup" unchecked.  Done, go to Google and search 'flash test'.
You can then go to several sites to test your new flash with Konqueror.

If y'all have already installed the flash files in 
../.netscape/plugins, omit my edit above, leave the line reading   
$HOME/.netscape/plugins   on top, then do the rest.  I don't know why 
Mandrake still configures to use the .netscape dir, since NutScrape 
(thankfully) has been gone for a long time now.

Open up KONQUEROR, choose SETTINGS, then CONFIGURE KONQUEROR, then
scroll down the left side to the BOTTOM where you find NETSCAPE PLUGINS,
click that icon, then in the right side, you get an option to SCAN FOR
NEW PLUGINS (and also check the little box that says to scan at start of

Ok, at last "I" get to help someone.  Payback time.  :^)

Download the flash plugins.  I have a file called flash_linux.tar.gz that I 
got hold of from the flash site I was taken to the last time I tried to 
access a flash site.  You need to get two files out of this archive.

libflashplayer.so
and
ShockwaveFlash.class

and put them into /usr/lib/mozilla-1.1/plugins directory.

Then go into Konqueror,  Settings>Netscape Plugins> and add the above path. 
When you've done that click 'scan for new plugins' and wallah  It had 
better work or I'm gonna look silly.  Let me know how you go.

Open up Konqueror and click SETTINGS, then CONFIGURE KONQUEROR then
scroll down on the left hand side and you'll see the NETSCAPE PLUGINS
icon - click that and you should have that all enabled and the likes,
and you can do a SCAN for plugins and whatnot...also, double-check on
the PLUGINS tab to see if it's already in there...?? (You did install
the Flash plugin, right?)

If Flash in konq is working then just open KDE 
ControlCentre>WebBrowsing>NetscapePlugins

Ensure the path to your Mozilla-1.1  plugin directory is listed , and press 
the 'scan for new plugins' button.

if you have the 3 cd set the nsplugins rpm should be on your cds.  if you 
don't see it with software manager have a look manually.  it should be 
there.  since i still have the 8.1 cds _somewhere_ here i can get it to you

I am using KDE 2.2.1-7 It installed with my Mandrake 3 CD set.
I found this URL for the rpm, but it won't download.
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/8.1/i586/Mandrake/RPMS//kdebase-nsplugins-2.2.1-7mdk.i586.rpm

Does anyone happen to have this RPM?  And can I get it.

Time for some kind person to write a Flash wizard!

In my own case, I don't really need or want flash - I'd just like
something that will zap websites that write their jaascript so badly
that my screen fills up with dozens of invitations to download Flash.

Gerald:
OK, what I did was based on Flash 5.0, KDE 2.2.2 and Mandrake 8.2 (fresh 
install -- pretty much workstation default). Reckon that's a clue?

On a more serious note, I don't understand why it's necessary to jump through 
all of these hoops just so a two-year-old can watch Tebo slide down 
Clifford's back. There's just gotta be an easier way; makes me wish I knew

BTW, I have given up on Konq for flash stuff.  Even after getting it
going, whether I used 4.0 or 5.0 plugins, I found it freezing up
frequently on sites using flash.  Galeon works just fine, so my kids can
neopet using that.

I looked in help and found the following,

   Netscape® Plugins

   Currently, Konqueror supports Netscape® 4.x plugins.

   If you select Preferences->Web Browsing->Netscape Plugins from the K menu  
   you will get a dialog box with two tabbed pages; Scan and Plugins.

I can't do this because I don't have Netscape Plugins option.
WHY?

OK, this worked nicely for me too. You're right - the flash player that
comes on the distro doesn't work at all sites.  My 7 year old can now
happily click away on neopets.

Carroll, 
I removed all the defaults from Konqueror then clicked on add new and
that brought up my /home/tom, double clicked on flash_linux and
basically gave Konqueror no other options when I scanned for plugins. 
BTW, this is Flash 5.0 also, I also copy it to my mozilla plugins. My

Re: [newbie] Flash plugin in Konq again

[Carroll Grigsby]

Tom:
How did you convince Konqueror that Flash was available? I didn't have any 
problems installing Flash in Mandrake 8.1. Perhaps that's because 8.1 
installed Netscape 4.x as part of the default installation, so that the 
necessary file structure was present when Flash was installed. In 8.2, 
however, Netscape is _not_ installed unless it is explicitly specified (which 
I didn't do). Konqueror seems to want the necessary Flash references 
installed in /netscape/plugins. And, if you don't go through the 
kdebase-nsplugins installation and then run nspluginscan, there isn't any way 
to tell Konqueror to look for Flash -- at least from the GUI side.

If I may chip in my two cents worth I've had a great deal of success
with flash by downloading the Macromedia Flash Player from
http://macromedia.com to my home directory and just unpacking the files
there. This will leave you with /home/myname/flash_linux folder, then
the directory to be scanned for plugins in my case as
/home/tom/flash_linux. Substitute the myname for whatever you've named
your home directory of course.

Re: [newbie] Flash plugin in Konq again

[Carroll Grigsby]

Brian:

When I ran nspluginscan, a bunch of unfriendly messages also flew by, but I 
decided to ignore them, and so far I have not had any problems.

Let's make sure we're talking about the same things here -- I have a (fairly) 
clean new install of 8.2 and KDE 2.2.2. I installed Flash from the PowerPack 
Commercial CD. (Netscape 6 had already been installed.) This put 
ShockwaveFlash.class and libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/netscape/plugins; it 
also put README and readme.html in /usr/share/doc/FlashPlayer-5.0.

I then downloaded kdebase-plugins-2.2.2-93mdk.i586.rpm and installed it with 
Software Manager, ran nspluginscan and rebooted. After that, it was just a 
matter of running the Scan for new plugins function from Konquer --> Settings 
--> Configure --> Netscape Plugins.

Possible problems:
1. Check that /usr/lib/netscape/plugins does contain the two Flash files 
mentioned above. It's possible that Flash may have put them someplace else -- 
perhaps a /flash_linux directory.
2. Did you close and re-open KDE after running nspluginscan? (Hmm -- my notes 
show that I did a reboot -- old habits are hard to break. Think it makes any 
difference?)
3. Did then you run the Scan for new plugins in Konqueror?

Re: [newbie] Flash plugin in Konq again

[Brian Parish]

Sorry to have appeared dim here, but after another careful look I think
maybe it's not me - something is screwy.  I have visited the path you
describe before (also available from the KDE config menu).

After clicking on the Scan for nsplugins button I see under the plugins
tab:

Mozilla's real audio plugin
Mozilla's pdf plugin
Netscape's real audio plugin
Netscape's pdf plugin

No flash or whatever.  For the record, when I run nspluginscan, I get:

kdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING: KLibrary: /usr/lib/libkdecore.so.3:
undefined symbol: NP_GetValue
kdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING:

A look at the rpm shows that the plugin files end up in /usr/lib. 
Presumably they are linked to other locations, but just for fun I added
/usr/lib to the paths in the nsplugins window and clicked the scan
button again.  Took a long time, but eventually it finished and made no
difference at all.  Still the same four listed in the plugins windows. 
Still no flash.

Any more ideas anyone?  Can anyone shed some light on whether the
warnings from nspluginscan are normal or fatal?

TIA
Brian

Open Konqueror. Select Settings and then Configure Konqueror. There should be

Carroll, many of the e-mail systems now have a catch all basket. It doesn't 
matter if you write to [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
or [EMAIL PROTECTED] They get filtered to someones inbox. Of course 
d*[EMAIL PROTECTED] is likely to get biffed unopened.

So if i find a broken link or whatever and there is no contact page i just 
fire the e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usually somebody gets it and 
fixes it. 90% or more of the time they send back a thankyou.

After all if there is no such e-mail address the mail bounces and you get to 
know it.

Thanks. As I said, I wasn't too sure if it was me or them. In cases like 
that, I usually take the easy way out, and blame it on them.
Your comment about writing to the webmaster is interesting. When I first

AFAIK, it's bad javascript.  I wrote to the webmaster of a site that
filled my desktop with twelve macromedia popups, and he fixed it the

if you are suffering foggy brain, first check that you have flash.  :)  i 
know that would be were i would mess up.  the most obvious place, cot 
copying the flash files to /usr/lib/netscape/plugins

then, did you run the nsplugins thing and tell it to scan for plugins?

OK! That seemed to work (fortunately, I have the 8.1 PP, so I was able to 
get the Flash rpm), and now most sites work for me. Some still don't - I

Roger:
Here's what I ended up doing:
1. Installed the Flash rpm from the Commercial Apps disk.
2. Downloaded kdebase-nsplugins-2.2.2-93mdk.i586.rpm from www.rpmfind.net, 
and installed it. (It seems that this file may be on one of the PowerPack 
CD's, but somehow Software Manager isn't aware of it. It's not a very big 
download (roughly 700K or so.)
3. Ran nspluginscan from the command line.
4. Rebooted KDE. Voila! The Netscape Plugins option showed up in the 
Konqueror configuration menu.
5. Called Will (two-year-old grandson, and the prime mover behind this 
project), and we watched Tebo slide down Clifford's back. Much joy. One 
thing: When I ran nspluginscan, a lot of messages flew by, and some of them 
didn't seem too friendly, but it worked. I suppose I should look in the logs.

Michael,
I had problems with Konqueror the other day (nothing to do with the 
nsplugins tho).  It might pay to check this file which affects starting 
KDE:  ~/.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc

Remove any references to Konqueror.  For example, this is my ksmserverrc 
after removing the konqueror stuff:

[General]
confirmLogout=true
saveSession=false
screenCount=1

[Session]
count=3
discardCommand1=
discardCommand2=
discardCommand3=rm,/home/skinky/.kde/share/config/konsole:11c0a800010001004
6775910072210021
program1=konsole
restartCommand1=konsole,-session,11c0a8000100010046775910072210021
restartStyleHint1=0
restartStyleHint2=0
restartStyleHint3=0
userId1=skinky
userId2=skinky
userId3=skinky


Prior to editing this file a few days ago, it looked something like:

[General]
confirmLogout=true
saveSession=false
screenCount=1

[Session]
count=3
discardCommand1=
discardCommand2=
discardCommand3=rm,/home/skinky/.kde/share/config/konsole:11c0a8000100010046775910072210021
program1=konqueror
program2=konsole
restartCommand1=konqueror,-session,117f010001002773127003029
restartCommand2=konsole,-session,11c0a8000100010046775910072210021
restartStyleHint1=0
restartStyleHint2=0
restartStyleHint3=0
userId1=skinky
userId2=skinky
userId3=skinky

It worked for me.  If you don't have any references to konqueror in this 
file, I'm no help at all and I just wasted your time ; )  Good luck.

When I install that rpm (from a command line - I always boot into

If I remove that rpm, it starts fine ... but won't play Flash. 

If I install the RPM while *in* a KDE session, Flash works; konq works.

How to get Flash running in Konqueror:

1. Install the Flash plug-in from macromedia.com as normal.

2. Install the kdebase-nsplugins package. It is included in Mandrake.

3. In the KDE Control Centre and go to "WebBrowsing" -> "Netscape Plugins".

4. Click "Scan for new plugins".

[shane]

this seems to come up a lot lately

to quote myself:

"if flash is in netscape, go to configuration > kde > webbrowsing > netscape 
plugins.

if you don't see that you need an rpm from the cd called kdebase-nsplugins 
which oddly does not install with konq by default."

good luck.

Re: [newbie] Flash and Shockwave

[Paul Rodríguez]

My guess is that this uses the latest flash player.  The latest one
Macromedia has released for GNU/Linux doesn't have the functionality of
the latest they've released for other platforms.  That's proprietary
software for you...  I'm not sure when the next plugin for Linux is
coming out.  Why don't we write and ask?

   No, I upgraded over 9.2 using rpm -Fvh. I'm in the habit of getting 
the mozilla src.rpm from cooker and rebuilding it. Sometimes I use the 
Red Hat src.rpm, as it's often available before Mandrake's. I use -Fvh 
so that I don't install mozilla mail or irc, neither of which I want.

Re: [newbie] Flash player plugin Mozilla 0.9.3

Hi,

I am using LM8.0, and the default plugin dir for mozilla, as installed
using rpmdrake, is /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin.  When I copied
libflashplayer.so and ShockwaveFlash.class into that folder, and tried
about:plugins, it showed up;  What version Mandrake are you running, and
how did you install mozilla (where/from what pkg)?

Re: [newbie] Flash in Netscape-6.01 -- How?

try running netscape 6 this way:
   /usr/local/netscape/netscape &

if from a terminal you type "netscape", it will run the command in the PATH.

i have both netscape 6 and netscape 4.76 installed, and have to run the 
6.01 version manually (actually i placed a shortcut in a panel)

Re: [newbie] Flash in Netscape-6.01 -- How?

[Benjamin Sher]

Dear Mike and friends:

OK, here is the lowdown on Netscape 6.01:

I initially installed it in /usr/local/netscape. But after installation,
when I tried to run it by typing in xterm "netscape", it would
invariably bring up Netscape 4.76 (which is located in
/usr/bin/netscape). So, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it in my home
directory under NET6. Well, that has apparently caused other problems.

So, I have uninstalled it once again and reinstalled by default in
/usr/local/netscape. However, there is no Netscape 6 or any Netscape
executable in /usr/local/netscape or /usr/local/bin. But I did copy the
plugins from /usr/lib/netscape/plugins into /usr/local/netscape/plugins
(without overwriting the ones that were already there -- thanks for the
tip -- but I still don't know how to launch Netscape 6. Please remember
that I have both Netscape 4.76 and Netscape 6 installed on my LM72. How
do I now launch Netscape 6, please?

Thanks so very much.
