Firefox5 plugin folder

[bsd5543]

Hi all,

I've set up a fresh gnome 2.3.1 desktop with firefox5.

Now I am trying to get the flash and java plugin running.

I created symbolic links in:

/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins
/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/symlinks/gecko19
$HOME/.mozilla/plugins

But "aboutlugins" still doesn't discovers any plugin.

Any hints?

Install www/nspluginwrapper to get flash working.

 

[bsd5543]

It is already installed

Then run what it's pkg-message said.

sry, but how can I run it?

If you run # nspluginwrapper without arguments, you'll see some help. The "-a" flag might be helpful, at least for getting started.

This is the output of nspluginwrapper:

$ nspluginwrapper 
nspluginwrapper, configuration tool.  Version 1.4.4

   usage: nspluginwrapper [flags] [command [plugin(s)]]

   -h --help               print this message
   -v --verbose            flag: set verbose mode
   -a --auto               flag: set automatic mode for plugins discovery
   -n --native             flag: allow native plugin(s) to be wrapped
   -l --list               list plugins currently installed
   -u --update [FILE(S)]   update plugin(s) currently installed
   -i --install [FILE(S)]  install plugin(s)
   -r --remove [FILE(S)]   remove plugin(s)

$ nspluginwrapper -a
$ nspluginwrapper -l
$

The flash plugin isn't listed although I have installed it:

$ pkg_version -Iv | grep flash
linux-f10-flashplugin-10.3r181.34   =   up-to-date with index
$

Seems to work after

$ nspluginwrapper -i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
$ nspluginwrapper -l
  /home/rich/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
