Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Today, I have visited a webpage which has requested me to have installed a plugin called 'SVG Viewer 3'. As I hadn't it, I have been automatically redirected to http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/auto/. There you can download the plugin as you can download the flash plugin for firefox. But it doesn't work for me. I have followed the instructions (untar and run install.sh) and the only thing that the script has done is creating a symbolic link. ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 2008-09-02 18:38 flashplugin-alternative.so -> /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 2008-09-14 20:30 libNPSVG3.so -> /home/murdok/Download/adobesvg-3.0/libNPSVG3.so Firefox doesn't recognize this plugin. It doesn't appear when I type about:plugins in the address bar. Besides, Firefox doesn't output too much information when is run on a terminal so I don't know what else to do. Adobe has also a test page to see if your plugin is working. Here: http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/svgtest.html firefox reports that you need a plugin to view all the contents of the webpage (good!), but if you click on 'install missing plugins...', firefox finds nothing. In my opinion, Ubuntu should provide a package for firefox similar to flashplugin-nonfree (svgplugin-nonfree). Thank you for reading me.
