(SOLVED) Missing plugin in Firefox and Chromium (images)

[unist]

that sounds like a video card problem

what video card do you have?

I have a AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ with integrated video.
Memory: 2561MB (519MB used)
Display:
Resolution: 1024x768 pixels
OpenGL Renderer: GeForce4 MX Integrated GPU/AGP/SSE/3DNOW!
X11 Vendor: The X.Org Foundation

I replaced
as root
the libflashplayer.so
from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
with the one from the archieved adobe .rpm files

How can I get the libflashplayer.so from the archieved adobe .rpm files? Thank you for your orientation.

close firefox, then open the terminal and type "firefox" and then press enter and firefox will start, go to the web page and then look at the terminal and report firefox output.Clues to why thing dont work on  your system could be there, i saw the animation just fine.

Hi unist,

Just to start at the beginning.

I get this:

@unist
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4043596/libflashplayer.so.rar

both versions, a warning and howto

it is the old nvidia video card combined with the new flash player codec what is giving the problem isn't?

that link, is the old flash that is being used as solution in other posts DeBaas?

[DeBaas]

More ways to a solution from other posts:
If you add testing to your repo there is the alternate solution:
remove flash-player-plugin
add flash-player-plugin11.1
It's the same 11.x as in my dropbox link.
Added also the 10.x (final) version so you have more options.

OK I hate to piggyback on this topic but it fits my problem. I just did an update today and noticed the drivers for nvidia were in the update. Now flash won't work as in the first post (youtube worked last nite). It looks like the fix would work for me also. So I should remove flash from synaptic, D/L rar then unpack and run file as a executable program correct?

Sorry for the noob questions but PCLinuxOS normaly Just Works. BTW have used PCLOS since the 2007 release

TIA

remove flash-player-plugin from Synaptic
add testing in your repo line
change
main updates nonfree kde4 games
to
main updates nonfree kde4 games testing
reload and search for flash-player-plugin11.1
mark and apply
remove testing from repo

should do
Ed

P.S. the download from the rar file is the unofficial way.

Debaas Your The Man
Fixed and done!

Old AMD 2200+ with on board nvidia the updates didn't jive I'm guessing

Super big THANX and such a quick response I love this place and the hard work put out for us all. I've not missed MS Win at all

yes, unfortunately this problem with flash happens from time to time and we used to copy directly the flash plugin by hand, fortunately we can do this now more simply by following those steps

This is the firefox output at the terminal:

Hi unist,

In my case I also have Java and Shockwave Flash up to date.
There are others plugins that require attention.
(I still don't know how to make the insert of my shot.png image as yours, I tried with the Insert Image button but couldn't make it)
Update:
This is what I get: http://postimage.org/image/qg2g2xe7z/969707a7/

the insert image will create this

inside that you can put the address of the image like this

[img ]theaddresoftheimage.theextensionofthefile[/ img]

i added a couple spaces to the img fields so it could be showed

I tried with the insert image [img ]/home/hugo/Documents/shot.png[/ img]
and [img ]http://home/hugo/Documents/shot.png[/ img]
But obviously both are wrong
My file is shot.png and it is located in /home/hugo/Documents
