Chrome Updated, Now Flash Won't Work In Firefox
 
|
Thanks first of all to anybody for your kind attention.
Last Thursday, (28/JN/2012), Google Chrome updated. Ever since then, Chrome will not load and Flash applications will not play in Firefox. (Firefox V13.0.1 is my regular browser, I only keep Chrome around in case Ff can't do something I need.) When I try to load Chrome, the mouse pointer turns into a bouncy Chrome icon, a Chrome bar appears in Task Manager, then the mouse pointer reverts, the bar disappears and no Chrome window ever opens. In Firefox, when for instance I try to watch a Youtube video, all I see is a black box which allows me the option to block that video and nothing else. I've tried playing other Flash apps, none of them work. I have Flash-Aid 2.2.3 installed in Ff. I tried using it to re-install Adobe Flash Player, both stable and beta versions; no joy. I tried using apt-get to un-install and re-install Google Chrome, (I accidentally installed Chromium instead and it won't play Flash apps either); no joy. I tried using apt-get to un-install and re-install the flash player, several times and in several ways; no joy. I tried using KPackageKit to install Gnash, (because it's easier and it was possible); no joy. I even tried installing KlamAV in case I took a virus that's affecting Flash; I'm having trouble with the installation writing to it's own directories, but that's a matter for another time and anyway I was just being thorough. I'm running an AMD XP-M 1900+ system with 768MB RAM and a Geforce 5500 card, driver version 173. I'm using Kubuntu V10.04, KDE V4.4.5, core version 2.6.32-41-generic. I'm pretty sure everything else works. Please, how can I get Flash apps to work again? (Please note that I'm not a very advanced user, I'll probably need some hand-holding through this.) -- Allan -- kubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users |

Chrome and FF and Flash work fine here on an AMD64 kubuntu 12.04 Do you really only have 768mb of ram?? I have 8GB maybe memory is your problem but I doubt it.

I doubt my old L7VMMS motherboard could take much more RAM and I can't afford it now anyway. Besides, I was using Flash apps on Ff just minutes before the Chrome update. It must have been the update that did it! -- kubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users |

Can you check in folder /etc/alternatives, if a file like "mozilla-flashplugin"
exists?
If it is a link, can you check to what file is pointing to? (executing 'ls -lrt' on /etc/alternatives) Does the destination of the link really exist?

It exists and it's a link. /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin points to /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so And /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so seems to exist. And ls -ls gives this info about it. 17000 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17406436 2012-07-03 20:51 /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so Does that name and directory seem a little odd to you?

There is no problem with library ownership, since libraries are used
through the dynamic loader, not directly. And the files/links seems OK. If you go to "Add Ons" (Firefox menu) what flash related plugins can you see? On 07/09/2012 04:18 PM, A.D.

Once again, my thanks to Dimitris for his help as well as to Jose.

I was pretty sure I'd tried that, (I made what I thought was a good faith effort with Google before asking here), but I tried it again anyway using the apt-get call you suggested; no joy. I performed apt-get update, (three times, the second time because apt-get suggested it and the third because the second time it didn't get all the packages expected), then apt-get upgrade, then tried a forced reinstall you gave me again; still no joy. BTW, when I did the forced reinstall, the package it installed was adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.236.orig.tar.gz in case that matters.

Well, Adobe will not release Linux versions of Flash anymore. But this
does not mean that the last release (11.2) is not functional :) It's normal to see all installed plugins in Firefox addons menu. Unfortunately, a conflict seems to have occurred. I'd suggest the following: 1. Try disabling the flash players plugins apart from the Adobe one (Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202), either from Firefox addons menu or, if you are risk prone, editing ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxx.default 2. If this does not work, try removing completely (purge) firefox, chrome and flash plugins, and perform a new installation of firefox and adobe flash plugin. Good luck! On 07/10/2012 05:27 PM, A.D.

I even tried enabling Gnash and diasbling Adobe; at least I got controls, but no joy on apps actually running. With a little extra help from you, I apt-get purged Firefox, Chrome and Chromium, Gnash and the Adobe flash player, deleted the .mozilla directory, then re-installed Firefox and Adobe. Just to be sure, I ran apt-get autoremove then restarted Lucid. I first realized something was wrong when I ran Firefox and saw the same theme as I'd been using before the purge. All my bookmarks were still there, too. Sure enough, no joy playing a Flash app, (and I tried three different ones.) I repeated the purging procedure and noticed this time that apt-get hadn't deleted two directories because they were not empty; /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins. After purging everything, I went back and deleted them manually, (sudo rm -rf.) Again I did apt-get autoremove and tried Ff. Again the same theme and bookmarks were there and again, no joy on Flash apps. But I did find a single Flash movie I could play; a short advert running in a small window. So apparently Adobe Shockwave _does_ work, just not on very much! And I remembered something else; I _think_ I had Firefox using Chrome's Flash player before somehow, which would explain why the update killed Flash on Firefox. Dimitris, you've been a great help to me and I want to tell you again that I appreciate all your help.

Really no idea why after manually removing .mozilla directory bookmarks
are still there.... Can you post the content of ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/pluginreg.dat ? On 07/12/2012 12:47 AM, A.D.

Thanks, Errol. this might be an approach worth pursuing. Can you tell me how to downgrade an application in Kubuntu? From what I've seen in this list, it's a notoriously difficult thing to do. But I'm willing to try if you can give me an idea how. BTW, Errol, aren't we supposed to send replies to this list as in-line text rather than as attachments? I had to call up your scrubbed attachment, wade through a mass of HTML code, then copy-and-paste your actual message and manually format it. Not that I mind a little extra work in exchange for the help you're trying to give.

There are double entries for libflashplayer library, in your plugin list. Try to remove the second one from firefox menu. If in firefox menu just one is shown, try removing it from the pluginreg.dat file. On 07/13/2012 04:55 PM, A.D.

From what I've seen in this list, it's a notoriously difficult thing to do. But I'm willing to try if you can give me an idea how. BTW, Errol, aren't we supposed to send replies to this list as in-line text rather than as attachments? I had to call up your scrubbed attachment, wade through a mass of HTML code, then copy-and-paste your actual message and manually format it. Not that I mind a little extra work in exchange for the help you're trying to give.

Really no idea why after manually removing .mozilla directory bookmarks are still there.... Maybe Firefox Sync or Xmarks saved them. -- kubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users |

I tried deleting the second entry from the pluginreg.dat file; no joy. I'd saved the file as pluginreg.dat.old first; I retrieved it and deleted the first entry, then saved as pluginreg.dat and tried again; no joy on playing apps, but loading pages with Flash movies no longer causes Ff to crash.
