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).

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)
iceweasel started with :
schroot iceweasel

I didn't find the flashplayer-mozilla package, so the ndiswrapper howto posted in the first post doesn't work for me.

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#  
Craigevil, has anything changed since it was written?

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.
It's weird, because it's there, according to this website:
http://debian-multimedia.org/dists/unst ... ary-amd64/

Any ideas what's wrong :?:

You want nspluginwrapper not ndiswrapper, that was typo on my part.

Ah, I commute them often myself, it's possible that the error was on my side. However it doesn't change anything on the fact, that apt (aptitude as well as apt-cache (and apt-get)) don't see flashplayer-mozilla, though it should be in the repository.

I DID "aptitude update" after I added debian-multimedia.org, in fact I did it quite many times since I've added it to sources.list about a year ago...

Maybe try using mirror, as I do?

Try a different mirror http://debian-multimedia.org/debian-m.php

Why do you have Squeeze, sid and experimental all uncommented? which release are you running?

That was it, thank you! It apparently got an error when seeing a non-existant repository (contrib) and didn't parse the non-free part :roll:

I have a related problem which is very unique I can find no other mention of it anywhere.

I installed the 32-bit Flash plugin as per the instructions of the debian wiki (with Bartm's method). PulseAudio generally works fine, I can play sound simultaneously from mplayer, kmess, etc. Flash, however, refuses to work at the same time with anything else: If I have a browser with a flash video playing, then no other program can use sound, they freeze up. If I stop the video and close the browser, sound works fine again.

When the sound card is used and I try to play a flash video, I get this error, in both Opera and Firefox:

Code: Select all

ALSA lib ../../pulse/pulse.c:229:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused
I have also set up alsa to use PulseAudio as the default device. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem:

Pulseaudio working (pulse-enabled programs can play simultaneously and all show up in pavucontrol's Playback tab).
Flash Player audio working (when nothing else is playing, Flash is able to play audio just fine)

Flash Player seemingly not using pulse. It doesn't show up in pavucontrol's playback tab). When playing sound via flash, all other pulse-enabled audio apps block/hang until I quite iceweasel.

Anybody else have ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk in conflict with each other? There is some dependency hell in it:

Code: Select all

~$ apt-cache depends ia32-libs
ia32-libs
  [...]
  Sugeruje: ia32-libs-gtk
  [...]
  Psuje: ia32-libs-gtk
  [...]
So, it suggests and breaks ia32-libs-gtk in the same time. That's not all:

Code: Select all

~$ apt-cache depends ia32-libs-gtk
ia32-libs-gtk
  Wymaga: ia32-libs
  [...]
  Jest w konflikcie z: ia32-libs
  Zastępuje: ia32-libs
This one here depends, is in conflict and replaces ia32-libs :roll:
Basically it all means, that way of installing flash provided on Debian Wiki (link) won't work.

Wow! I can verify it works, with sound, on my 64-bit Debian Lenny LTSP server simply by uninstalling nspluginwrapper, closing Iceweasel, and copying libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins.

Thanks Adobe - now how about open sourcing that $*#*(# $*@()#!! ;)

One of these settings worked with both Minefield and Iceweasel. I am suspecting /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/. Where i had to manually copy the file rather than symlink if it is the winner.
