[gentoo-user] netscape-flash only works once

[gentoo-user] netscape-flash only works once

[Grant]

Flash used to work perfectly, but now it only works once between
netscape-flash emerges.  When I emerge netscape-flash, open firefox,
and visit youtube.com, it works.  But if I then close firefox, re-open
it, and visit youtube.com, flash doesn't work.  If I re-emerge
netscape-flash it starts working again.  I'm using
netscape-flash-10.0.15.3.  Any ideas?

what arch are you running? If am64, try the
net-www/netscape-flash-10.0.21.1_alpha which is a native 64-bit (and
you can unmerge nspluginwrapper)

I had the exact same problems when using the 32-bit flash in 64-bit
pluginwrapper

If you're not using that setup, then ignore this message :)

Thanks Paul, I am on amd64 and I think this means no more firefox-bin
which is great.  I'm getting this after upgrading netscape-flash and
visiting youtube.com with firefox (no -bin):

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/home/marant/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[/home/marant/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so: cannot make segment
writable for relocation: Permission denied]

Do I need to re-emerge firefox or could this have to do with my
hardened kernel settings?

Actually it looks like I don't even have mozilla-firefox installed so
I must have been launching firefox-bin with 'firefox'.

That looks suspiciously like its to do with your hardened setup.
I too have 64bit FF and 64 flash working nicely here, so glad to be done
with nspluginwrapper, which barely ever worked for me anyway :(

Thanks working great now except cnn.com videos crash the browser.  Do
they work for anyone else?
