I don't think so, anyway take a look at

Firefox menu "Tools" > Add-on > Tab: "Extensions"

it might be that you also did install some add-on that is able to block
Flash-stuff.

You can try the following too.

Launch synaptic and if needed remove "flashplugin-nonfree" and "gnash".
After that install "flashplugin-nonfree" (again).

If this doesn't work try to

1. Download and extract http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Internet/HTTP-WWW-/Adobe-Flash-Player-for-64-bit-Linux-42958.shtml
2. Close Firefox
3. Make directory /plugins in ~/.mozilla
4. Move libflashplayer.so to the ~/.mozilla/plugins directory

I've forgotten to add one step.
First remove the package "flashplugin-nonfree" again, resp. any lib it
has installed manually.

Also you should enable the security updates apt source when using 3.0
beta3. There is a new Firefox and a new Adobe Flash plugin in the Ubuntu
security archive today.

Security updates are always enabled for my 64 Studio, so I already have
Firefox's current version for Hardy.
I'm not sure if I should add flashplugin-nonfree, because I once
installed a version manually and it's working ok, but maybe not secure
any more.

Hm, I guess I only add a directory
/home/spinymouse-sudo/.mozilla/*plugins* and copied libflashplayer.so to
this directory.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Anyhow, if somebody did add the 64-bit flashplayer manually it might be
important to take care about this, to avoid confusion between different
versions of flashplayer:

I'm not sure if pluginreg.dat isn't needed for anything else, but the
upgraded falshplayer is ok. However, the version installed by the
package is in /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree, while howtos for manually
installation refer to ~/.mozilla/plugins.

Thank you for the information that the package version now is ok.

Cheers!
Ralf

Half OT: I'm sharing one profile for 64 Studio's Firefox with a profile
for Suse 11.2, it's ok for browsing, but 64 Studio isn't able to play
flash videos when using this profile. For another profile, that isn't
shared it was and is ok.

Flash-Player - was Auto Tune
 

Hi All
I have now re-installed 64studio beta 3
Cannot get HDSPcinf to run at all The card is now a RME 9632.
Also I have treid to get flash running:


Launch synaptic and if needed remove "flashplugin-nonfree" and "gnash".

After that install "flashplugin-nonfree" (again).


I get an error now saying nsplugin not found and cannot be installed.

Any ideas for now

I have never used this particular card. I only have experience with
the 9652s, and they have always just worked. Does the card show up in
lspci?

What about an entry in /proc/interrupts

Does the 9632 use the same driver as the 9652 (hdsp)? If so, is the
module loaded (lsmod |grep hdsp)? Anything interesting in the logs?
Try "grep hdsp /var/log/messages" or "grep hdsp /var/log/syslog" or
"grep /var/log/udev".

I would not bother using apt for flash. I now get flash directly from adobe:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

1. gnash is complete bull shit, if you wist to use the Internet
2. take care to get an amd64 version of flash, if your 64 Studio is at
this architecture
3. Do you use a 'clean' 64 Studio regarding to pulseaudio?
As soon as pulseaudio is included to a Linux, you need to become a
Voodoo priest to fix all the issues and note that you can't become a
Voodoo priest just by reading a Wiki, you need to slaughter chickens for
several years, eat puffer fishs completely etc.

But lets imagine you'll fix your issues regarding to rt audio (and I'm
sure you'll be able to do it), while flash still might not work, perhaps
you could use your good sound card for rt audio only, but use an
elcheapo onboard sound card for desktop sound, such as sound for flash.

Did you read the messages while the proprietary flash seems to be
installed by apt or synaptic? Take care of the messages, sometimes you
just install the package that should install the proprietary flash, but
even if the package is installed, this is no guarantee that also the
proprietary flash is installed, because very often this packages tries
to get the proprietary flash from an outdated URL.

PS:

If you shouldn't find the current flash, I can send you the 64-bit file
from my install.

Hi Bob,

> I get an error now saying nsplugin not found and cannot be installed.

As Ralf mentioned, the download URL gets broken every time Adobe changes
their website. Instead, I would recommend you try either the native
64-bit beta of Adobe's 10.1 plugin:

http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/

or to compile your own Gnash, because the Ubuntu version of Gnash is too
far behind upstream to be useful.

Cheers!

Daniel
