I recently ditched using the linux-firefox port in favor of the native version when I read a post about nspluginwrapper. I've spent the last 2 days upgrading many ports on my system. I think I've got things A-OK, but I cannot get nspluginwrapper to do anything meaningful with the native firefox. My config: 6.2-STABLE as of april 10th CVSup'ed ports tree as of April 10th linux_base-fc-4_9 installed--do I need fc-6?? linux-alsa-lib-1.0.10.3 also installed firefox-2.0.0.3,1 compiled and installed linux-flashplugin9 installed I did the following: % nspluginwrapper -v -i /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so saw: Install plugin /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so into /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so after firing firefox back up and doing about:plugins I see what I hoped to see: Shockwave Flash File name: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 9.0 r31 MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes However whenever I visit a site that utilizes Flash, nothing shows up--not even an 'outline' of what should be a flash file playing. I've tried using nspluginwrapper -r to uninstall the plugin and use linux-flashplugin7 but the results are the same. I've also tried using linux-mplayer-plugin which yielded similar results: about:plugins showed a plethora of MIME type's, descriptions, etc. but no dice. Does anybody have any clues as to what's going wrong or things I could possibly try? From all accounts seen via google, this has "just worked" for people ... :( Thanks in advance. -Jr -- John & Jennifer Reynolds johnjen at reynoldsnet.org www.reynoldsnet.org Structural/Physical Design - some group - Intel jreynold at sedona.ch.intel.com Running FreeBSD since 2.1.5-RELEASE.
