[nspluginwrapper] npviewer does not respond

[Zenigata]

Binary package hint: nspluginwrapper

Since yesterday (13/10/2007) update of gusty, I am unable to use nspluginwrapper : each time I bump into a site with flash or a pdf page I want to see in firefox, it give me an not responsive firefox.

I am using an up to date gutsy 64 bit, and before yesterday, nsplugin wrapper was working quite right (only a little sound issue).

Regards.

It seems that the installation script do not properly run nspluginwrapper -u to update the wrapped plugin for each installed plugin.

nspluginwrapper -l did report that the wrapper was 0.91.94 when the current version is 0.91.95

I do not know if the -u option works, I remove (-r) every plugin and reinstalled them (-i) and now it works.

One should maybe verify the installation script in the package to be sure that there is a "nspluginwrapper -u", and if there is, then the -u option is probably broken in nspluginwrapper

I think I may have this problem as well. I can't get any of my flash sites to run, but I don't know if it's been doing this since the update. Just noticed today when I needed to do some homework.

I can confirm Zenigata's fix worked for me.

64-bit firefox was hanging on sites with Flash. To fix:

1) Uninstall flashplugin-nonfree if installed through synaptic.
2) Get a list of any Flash remains with nspluginwrapper -l
3) For me this showed a combination of 0.91.94 and 0.91.95 versions. I manually deleted every file listed.
4) Run nspluginwrapper -l again and confirm no files listed.
5) Then I installed flashplugin-nonfree again through synaptic.

i Follow your suggestion and Mozilla Firefox now don't play *.swf any more. What do i do to reinstall correctly..

When i reinstall nspluginwrapper -l don`t list nothing and sites give me plugg in but it is installed.

Problema con la targeta de video
no reconoce la targeta de video
con el compix se le trata de cambiar la visuallización pero no responde (al reiniciar el sistema despues de este proceso la pantalla se pone oscura y no da video despues de que carga el sistema)

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?

[Francois Huaulme (francois-huaulme)]

I can't reproduce this because I can't install Flash 10 on 8.10 (AMD64). This is related to bug #272314 I think. However, before the upgrade to 8.10, everything was working fine.

This did not occur for me until I upgraded to v9.10.
