Same-old Same-old Flash problem
in [Suse]

From: Michael Soibelman on 31 Mar 2008 14:02 Aren't we just sick and tired of flash problems ? Well, I've tried just about everything to get Flash working in either/or Firefox (2 & 3), Konqueror & Opera. I've copied the libflashplayer.so file manually to all relevant folders. Still doesn't work. This is the latest version available. What to do, what to do ? It would be nice to be able to see the 'street view' maps at Google, not to mention my local install of visuwords, etc... P.S. I don't particularly like flash enabled sites but there ubiquitous and sometimes the only way to view something important.. Too bad we don't have an equivalent open source application/plugin.. Oh well.

I tried to do as suggested at the link you pointed to but to no avail. This is one of those times when ya just gotta say......uggghhhhhh!! So, since I really want to view an online (not downloadable !) flash tutorial I finally broke down and......pauses...holds nose.... .....I started up IE4L (Internet Explorer for Linux) and that works. This sucks !! A proprietary browser for a proprietary plugin to view a proprietary formated tutorial.... Adobe should wake up and fix this....stability problem, or whatever problem this is. Better yet would be for people to stop using FLASH for ANYTHING !!!! As I stated earlier, it would be nice if we had an open source application for displaying animated presentations... Hmmm.. This looks promising: http://www.salasaga.org/ Here's hoping. P.S. I haven't given up yet. I've got a couple of ideas to try still. I'll report back when I figure this out.

Everyday I read about Flash fsckups like this, of some form or another, and I'm truly grateful I never found Flash useful for anything I want to do. It should come as no surprise I have no burning need for YouTube, etc. Also, I fortunately find kpdf a perfectly adequate substitute for the other Adobe trapware, Acroread. I have yet to install either Adobe abomination: Flash, or Acroread. I don't miss them at all, ever. Naturally, YMMV... Please note I didn't say Adobe was hopeless; they're just useless to me. -- Regards, Weird (Harold Stevens) * IMPORTANT EMAIL INFO FOLLOWS * Pardon any bogus email addresses (wookie) in place for spambots.

As this shockwave flash plugin did work when I initially installed openSUSE-10.3 (<-see Houghi, I was paying attention !) I don't see that there should be a problem with x-server... Anyone see something in this error message that might be of significance ?? Thanks.

Now I launched Konqueror in a terminal and first tried to load the localhost 'swf' page (visuwords) and then the flash tutorialI'm trying to see and this is the error message I get: mike(a)jupiter:~> konqueror ERROR: ld.so: object '/opt/kde3/\/libartsdsp.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

My guess is this is a Gtk problem. Using gtk2-2.12.5-1.1. |
