Flash9, nspluginwrapper and Freebsd7

L

Lupin_IV

Hello everybody, I followed the instructions on http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/desktop-browsers.html, in order to activate the Flash plugin on my FreeBSD 7.4 (i386).
So, now I have:

Code: 
linux_base-fc-4_16  Base set of packages needed in Linux mode (for i386/amd64)
linux-flashplugin-9.0r289_1 Adobe Flash Player NPAPI Plugin
nspluginwrapper-1.4.0 A compatibility plugin for Mozilla NPAPI plugins
But, if I try to run:

$ nspluginwrapper -v -i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so

the result is:

Code: 
nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so


Any help is appreciated!

Try as it says in the pkg-message:
$ nspluginwrapper -v -a -i

I already did it, but the result was:

Code: 
Auto-install plugins from /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins
Looking for plugins in /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins
Auto-install plugins from /usr/local/lib/seamonkey/plugins
Looking for plugins in /usr/local/lib/seamonkey/plugins
Auto-install plugins from /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin
Looking for plugins in /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin
Auto-install plugins from /home/marco/.mozilla/plugins
Looking for plugins in /home/marco/.mozilla/plugins

and it basically didn't find any plugin...

As a side note there shouldn't be a problem with www/linux-f10-flashplugin10. I had it running when I was still on 7.x.

The problem is Flash10 seems to require the linux_base-f10 port, and they say it doesn't work properly on FreeBSD 7.

As far as I know only certain specific Linux things don't seem to work on 7.x. I never had any issues with the flashplayer though. Not sure about other Linux applications.

If this is the only solution, we should upgrade the FreeBSD Handbook too, don't you think so? ;)

Dunno if this is the only solution, maybe Handbook is outdated, I haven't used 7.x since 8.0-RELEASE and I also use linux_base F10 and Flash 10 without any problems here.

Any reason to stick with 7.x tree?
