[gentoo-user] What are you using to display Flash in Firefox?

[Dan Johansson]

As the subject says: What are you using to display Flash in Firefox?

Reason for my question is quite simple, today I am using
www-plugins/adobe-flash which works well for simple .swf files (where
gnash & lightspark fails), but I have problems displaying a lot of
Videos on Facebook & YouTube.
95% of the time I get the following message when I try to watch a Video
on FB or YT:
"The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed. Reload the page to try again."
For YT it is really not that a big problem as I can download the Videos
using a FF AddOn - but this does not work with FB.

I am using the "default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde" profile.

Any suggestions...

Regards,

Hello

I'm using https://github.com/i-rinat/freshplayerplugin, a wrapper around
the PPAPI version bundled in chrome (I'm not sure but I think the package
www-plugis/chrome-binary-plugins has it).

It works really well nowadays, it used to crash a lot in the past.

Highly recommended.

net-misc/youtube-dl lists facebook among the things it can handle,
though I've never used it for fb videos.  It works well with the
sites on which I've used it, including yt.  (Occasionally, yt changes
something which breaks things, but there's always a youtube-dl update
within a day or two with a fix.)

[gentoo-user] gummiboot does not display new kernel

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

Hmm, what is my mistake ...

I compiled the latest gentoo-sources-3.19.1 with Canek's kerninst tool.

It is configured to generate a "loader-entry" for the gummiboot bootloader.

That bootloader is the default entry in the UEFI boot order and it works
... I can boot the older kernels ... but it does not show me the latest
kernel 3.19.1  but why?

I edited /boot/loader/loader.conf ... a changed timeout gets read ...
but 3.19.1 is never displayed.

Are the ownership and mode of
"e55a6b6a09bd2b1c50216272545a8d1f-3.19.1-gentoo.conf" the same as the
two others (although I'd assume that it wouldn't matter) and is it
formatted correctly?

moved e55a6b6a09bd2b1c50216272545a8d1f-3.19.1-gentoo.conf to simply
"stefan.conf" ... then it gets displayed (and boots fine as well)

maybe we should name the conf-files in a different way?

The /boot partition in UEFI systems needs to be vfat. Permissions are not
gonna matter that much in that.

I just followed the examples in the gummiboot homepage[1].  It's weird that
you need to change the name.

I listed my "/boot" set up in my previous email.

It's from my single-boot laptop so the machine-id UUID directory and
file names are unnecessary.

But filename lengths may do. What is the maximum length for FAT32? Is it
possible both files are considered the same?

I generally find Google gives better results than many sites' own search

In that case, it would not work in my case, and it does (see my last
 reply). Besides, it has been working with those filenames for months now.

FAT32 supports (IIRC) 256 long filenames.

Thanks. I'm sure that I've read this page in the past so I must've
either ignored or forgotten the title/version combo. I've just checked
the Arch and Gentoo wikis and neither mention "version" so I'm in more
or less good company.

And not any closer to understanding the reason for Stefan's problem. :(

It's 255 or 256.

Yes, I played with grub in a second UEFI-"slot" to be able to boot from
iso-images. But that stuff was there when I installed 3.19.0 back then
... so ...

The UEFI-level of things won't matter, I assume. UEFI chooses and starts
gummiboot, from there the two bootloaders shouldn't collide, I think.

-

Additionally the same new kernel installed without a problem on my
thinkpad (3.19.1 ... with kerninst as well).

No idea.

But no big problem, I can edit that conf-file whenever I install a new
kernel. Sure, would be nice to solve.

thanks @all

fun fact:

compiled and installed 4.0.0-rc2 ... visible at boot time at first try

Just a guess, if you move it back to the original name, does it boot?
Maybe there was something funny with the directory entry that confused the 
bootloader's FAT driver and got fixed when you moved it.

will try .. right now I don't want to reboot  some work to do ...

Maybe I should have partitioned the ESP bigger ... I chose 100M and
that fills up rather quickly (at 88% now ... no space for another
kernel+initrd ... why my initrd is 21M is another question ..)

Do you have proprietary video drivers in it? fglrx alone is 13 megs and if 
it's for plymouth it doesnt use them so it's just taking space.
