if i do it that (the chroot thing) - does it eliminate the need for nspluginwrapper? the problem i have is not being able to watch the mlb live streams (life long red sox fan, shoot me ...), when using the nsplugingwrapper i suspect that it (mlb) is looking for the file libflashplayer.so and it's finding npwrapper.libflashplayer.so and the mlb media player isn't smart enough to figure it out.craigevil wrote:Use a 32bit browser in chroot with the 32bit flash.

Re: Howto get Adobe Flash working in 64bit
yes using chroot you are using a 32bit browser and the 32bit flash plugin.
Take a look at "Using an IA32 chroot to run 32bit applications"

Re: Howto get Adobe Flash working in 64bit
for setting up a 32bit chroot on amd64 or i386:
i just wrote this guide: http://sicnarf.com/articles/secure-flas ... debian.txt
the guide is still in a early version, but it should be enough for daily browsing. enjoy
i'm going to update it and try to streamline it for general usage.

I take it you find the Debian doc too complicated?

Re: Howto get Adobe Flash working in 64bit
that's a good guide, however i wouldn't necessarily recommend it for running flash.craigevil wrote:I take it you find the Debian doc too complicated?

the main issue i see, is mounting your home directory inside the chroot, running the browser as the same user.
thereby allowing access to your files, if there is a severe exploit in flash.
further, the commands use debian sid/unstable, whereas packages in testing are more likely to get patches quicker.
just did a major rewrite. sudo is only used to launch or update the chroot browser, without asking for a password.craigevil wrote: get rid of all of the sudo references, it is not setup by default on Debian.

Re: Howto get Adobe Flash working in 64bit
HI,
I followed the installation notes from Wiki on a fresh Squeeze 64bit install, but I get this message :
Download done.
ERROR: checksum mismatch install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz
The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
More information might be available at:
http://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer
Did anyone got the same issue and maybe a solution ?
Regards,
Henri

Re: Howto get Adobe Flash working in 64bit
apt-get install flashplayer-mozilla from debian-multimedia.org will install all of the files needed to run flash in 64bit.
That was the whole point of the howto. Downloading from Adobe or any other way just complicates things.
BTW unstable gets updates before testing then usually 7-10 days later the update moves into testing, that is when testing isn't frozen like it is now.

Re: Howto get Adobe Flash working in 64bit
Hi,
I did try the plugin from multimedia, it works for most sites but not for metalink.oracle.com.
A non flash version of the site exists, but anyyway, it works in Fedora13.
The iceweasel from experimental and the ipc value change did not solve the issue.

I seem to recall that Adobe does not support 64 bit flash anymore.

Re: Howto get Adobe Flash working in 64bit
Correct that is the point of the Howto. You either have to use nspluginwrapper or a 32bit chroot environment.jheaton5 wrote:I seem to recall that Adobe does not support 64 bit flash anymore.
Installing flashplayer-mozilla from dmm installs all of the necessary packages for flash using nspluginwrapper.
The chroot method is a bit more detailed.

Re: Howto get Adobe Flash working in 64bit
Here is how I did the chroot, info borrowed from various Howto on the net, credit goes to them.
Another good feature provided by the chroot + schroot is that I can have the Sun java plugin for my browser (32bit chroot),
while only having the default openjdk on the main 64bit.
(the sun java plugin is needed/better for some old ilo we use here)
With schroot configured like that, no need to premount the /proc and so,
home directory is shared (bookmarks, ..) (well possible security issue here but anyway).
iceweasel started with :
schroot iceweasel

home directory is shared (bookmarks, ..) (well possible security issue here but anyway).
Code: Select all
mkdir /mnt/chroot32
mount -a /dev/vg01/lvchroot32 /mnt/chroot32/
debootstrap --arch i386 squeeze /mnt/chroot32 http://ftp.belnet.be/debian /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/squeeze
cd /mnt/chroot32
chroot /mnt/chroot32 /bin/bash
main # echo "8:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/chroot /mnt/chroot32 " \
"/sbin/getty 38400 tty8" >> /etc/inittab
[ define a login tty that will use this system ]
main # init q
[ reload init ]
chroot /mnt/chroot32
LANG= apt-get install locales
eval `locale 2> /dev/null`
sed -ri 's/^([^#].*)/# \1/;s/^# ('$LC_CTYPE'($| .*))/\1/' /etc/locale.gen
locale-gen
now configure schroot :
[squeeze]
description=Debian squeeze (stable) 32-bit
directory=/mnt/chroot32
priority=3
groups=hch,root
root-groups=root
aliases=default,ia32
personality=linux32
type=directory
preserve-environment=true
script-config=desktop/config
back to term with your user :
schroot
(now you're inside the 32 bit chroot)
(test with uname -a)
in chroot :
su -
(add non-free + contrib in /etc/apt/source..)
aptitude update
apt-get install msttcorefonts
aptitude install iceweasel
aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree
if you get the message :
sha512sum rejected install_flash_player_
cd /tmp
wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz
tar -xzvf install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz
mkdir -p /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/
mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/
aptitude install sun-java6-plugin
(to get the java plugin)
schroot iceweasel
Re: Howto get Adobe Flash working in 64bit
I didn't find the flashplayer-mozilla package, so the ndiswrapper howto posted in the first post doesn't work for me.
Craigevil, has anything changed since it was written?
Code: Select all
debian:/home/garion# cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep multimedia
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main contrib non-free
debian:/home/garion# aptitude search flashplayer-mozilla
debian:/home/garion#

Re: Howto get Adobe Flash working in 64bit
Flashplayer-mozilla is now in the "nonfree" section of debian-multimedia, so add that section to its entry in sources.list.

It's not there, according to aptitude, see my previous post.stevepusser wrote:Flashplayer-mozilla is now in the "nonfree" section of debian-multimedia, so add that section to its entry in sources.list.
It's weird, because it's there, according to this website:

Any ideas what's wrong
