The last upgrade of flashplayer-mozilla to v10.0.12.36-0.4 (amd-64) from
v9.0.124 killed flash for me in all browsers. I tried removing and
re-installing, but no joy.


My PIII, 32 bit, latest upgrade is to 9.0.124.0-0.0 0, and it still
works just fine.


Both machines' /etc/apt/sources.list point to
http://www.debian-multimedia.org lenny/main Packages

Is this a known issue, or have I screwed up? If so, how do I go about
fixing it?

I found I was still using v9.0.124 (or seemed to be) until I copied
libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins. Maybe that will fix your
problem.

The only things I found were
/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/npwrapper.libflashwrapper.so
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/npwrapper.libflashwrapper.so

After creatin the plugins directory, I copied the file to
~/.mozilla/plugins/, and restarted iceweasel. No change.


There is this file, ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat which has this:

14:video/flv:Flash video:flv:$
/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so:$
:$
1215282747000:1:5:$
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124:$
Shockwave Flash:$
2
0:application/x-shockwave-flash:Shockwave Flash:swf:$
1:application/futuresplash:FutureSplash Player:spl:$

I don't know how that works, but I'd guess it tells Iceweasel, at least,
where to look.


cheers,

What about /usr/lib/flashplayer-mozilla/libflashplayer.so, which is where
mine was copied from.

I've never been able to successfully correlate what's in the plugin
register with what's listed by aboutlugins (typed into the address bar
of IceWeasel), so can't help with that, sorry.

Having just double checked my aboutlugins, I see I have a ref to
9.0.124 there too. Goodness only knows where it's picking that up,
because I can be 100% sure I'm actually using 10.0.12

I'm also aware you're using AMD-64 whereas I'm using a 32 bit system, so
there could be issues there, too.

Not much extra for you to go on I'm afraid, but fingers crossed.....

Try deleting the file and then restart IW. On my system, IW picks up
~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [1] if it's there. Otherwise it
uses the new [2] alternatives system flash support
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flash-mozilla.so . Note: I don't use the
backport's flashplugin-nonfree or debian-multimedia's
flashplayer-mozilla packages.

Try running ldd on them.
