Package: swf-player Version: 0.3.4-2sarge0.1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Hi! I'm trying to use swf-player as a plugin with Galeon. Galeon about:plugins page does *not* show libswfdecmozilla.so as an installed plugin, even though the file lives in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/, besides the other installed plugins (libnullplugin.so and libmozsvgdec.so, that are correctly shown as installed and enabled). So I thought something else was required so that Galeon can see the swf plugin... But then I noticed that, when visiting a web page that includes SWF animations (I tried several ones, one example is http://www.westtoeast.it/), Galeon spawns some defunct (zombie) processes: $ ps aux | grep -i defunct frx 1427 0.0 0.0 0 0 pts/5 Z+ 12:36 0:00 [swfdec-mozilla-] <defunct> frx 1428 0.0 0.0 0 0 pts/5 Z+ 12:36 0:00 [swfdec-mozilla-] <defunct> frx 1429 0.0 0.0 0 0 pts/5 Z+ 12:36 0:00 [swfdec-mozilla-] <defunct> frx 1430 0.0 0.0 0 0 pts/5 Z+ 12:36 0:00 [swfdec-mozilla-] <defunct> frx 1431 0.0 0.0 0 0 pts/5 Z+ 12:36 0:00 [swfdec-mozilla-] <defunct> frx 1432 0.0 0.0 0 0 pts/5 Z+ 12:36 0:00 [swfdec-mozilla-] <defunct> frx 1540 0.0 0.3 1536 468 pts/6 S+ 13:08 0:00 grep -i defunct But this is the only tangible effect of the swf plugin... :-( I still see the default-plugin symbol as a placeholder for unplayed SWFs animations and clicking on the symbols brings on the Default Plugin dialog that reads: | This page contains information of a type (application/x-shockwave-flash) | that can only be viewed with the appropriate Plug-in. What's wrong?
