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:
Because let’s face it, the unfortunate aspect of software development is that it involves humans. Mewling, disorganized, miserably analog humans. Sometimes they smell bad.

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 $*#*(# $*@()#!! ;)

I am using FF44b6

Code: Select all

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10601968 Sep 19 01:34 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
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.

http://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer
Debian 5.0 'Lenny' amd64

In September 2010 Adobe announced Flash Player "Square". As of September 17 it is a fully working preview release.

Flash Player Square Installation

First remove the version you may have installed (it's probably a 32 bit version or too old):

$ apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree nspluginwrapper (the same applies to the 32bit version from debian-multimedia)

Get the Flash Player "Square" binary from Adobe (look for the Download plug-in for 64-bit Linux (TAR.GZ, 4.1 MB) link.

Extract the tar ball:

$ tar xvzf flashplayer_square_p1_64bit_linux_091510.tar.gz

As root copy the extracted file to the mozilla plugins folder(this will work with Google Chrome as well):

$ cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

Hi there, first post here :-)

I've followed the instructions from the flash player Debian wiki page and the sound does not work. I've also tried the "square" flash player version from Adobe directly (now there's a .deb in the wiki) and the results are the same (obviously, since the .deb only automates the process but does not change other things).

I'm using "squeeze" and the KDE 4.5 repositories. Anyone has a clue of what can be happening? Or has the same symptoms?

Thanks in advance!
Álex

Whoops!

I just read this thread via google and didn't know it's under the Howto/Docs subforum. Sorry for the previous support question, I'll move it to other (more appropiate) subforum. Now I understand why there's a forum etiquette you must read before the first post :-(

Hmmm...can anyone confirm that the new 10.2 version causes QTWebkit based browsers, such as Arora and ReKonq, to segfault as soon as they hit some Flash content? The Sid version has a patch to fix the issue for Flash 10.1, but 10.2 causes the same crash.

Well, yeah...just backported the QT 4.6.3 from Sid for a Lenny-based distro, saw a new release of Arora 0.11.0 that would use the new QT Webkit, reused the /debian folder from the Debian 0.10.0 version to build 0.11.0, only to get immediate crashes on the 64-bit--but it seems to be due to this issue. Since Rekonq may be the default browser for Kubuntu Maverick, this may be causing some trouble.

Nerdy backporters note:

* (had an "lrelease" error building Arora---turns out I had both QT 3 and QT4 build tools installed. Solved by running

su -c 'update-alternatives --config lrelease'

and making the QT 4 version the default)
