[gentoo-user] Konqueror and Flash (again...)

[gentoo-user] Konqueror and Flash (again...)

[Robin Atwood]

A few weeks back the list gave me some advice on using Flash on KDE 3.5 under 
amd64 arch. I ended up with using gnash, which has a kpart, with konqueror 
routinely, and adobe-flash-10.0.22.87 (64 bit) with firefox for when I wanted 
to see a movie. And all was well. :)

Then, in my pride and arrogance, I decided to upgrade my desktop to use KDE 
4.2.3. After two days of hacking away, I now have almost all the functionally 
I had with KDE 3.5.10 (two omissions being amarok and bluetooth). However, 
every time I visit a site with flash I get a segfault in nspluginviewer after 
it's loaded libflashplayer.so. Someone mentioned they had this working, I am 
curious to know how since there are quite a few open tickets for this on 
k.b.o.

TIA
-Robin

On amd64 I have konqueror-4.2.3, nplugins-4.2.3, adobe-flash-10.0.22.87 with 
USE="32bit multilib" (I have a 32 bit Firefox for a Java based vpn - not 
relevant to flash), and no nspluginwrapper. It all JustWorks(tm) out the box, 
and I don't need to fiddle with embedded mplayer stuff either. I used to have 
constant crashes in konqueror with flash which one day just went away after I 
rebuilt all of KDE with USE="-prefix". IIRC it was an upgrade from 4.2.2 as 
well. WHat console output do you get if you launch the browser from the 
command line and view flash? 

Here's my settings:

I have everything at 4.2.3 like you. I rebuilt adobeflash as 32bit but I still 
get the same error:

And since you mention it, the kmplayerpart no longer plays embedded stream 
video, as on http://www.apple.com/trailers/.

I get similar output when viewing flash, right up to PluginHostXEmbed, and yet 
mine works just fine

Shot in the dark: try rebuild konqueror and kdelibs. It's worth a try.

I just installed 4.2.3! I will wait until the next update, they seem to be 
coming fairly frequently.
