Figuring out how to install adobe/ Understand the file sytem

pottzie · 10-05-2010, 07:47 PM

OK, I've been banging around trying to get youtube to work. That means I need Adobe, or some form of a flash player. I've downloaded about every flash player I can find, and I've even got to the point that I can change to the home directory and open it/them with the tar -xzvf command, but what do I need to do to make it DO something? May (probably!) sounds dumb, but from what I've read I need to whack it into a directory that either I am supposed to create, or the tar.gz file creates. What is supposed to happen after I get to the directory where I've downloaded it to?

First time for everything, I guess.

Here's one way to do it:

Visit http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13...player-plugin/

and download these files:

Code:

• flash-player-plugin.SlackBuild
• flash-player-plugin.info
• slack-desc

and download one of the appropriate flashplayers from the link(s) given on that page. Select the one for your machine + OS, so either 32bit or 64bit. Put all files in the same directory.

Now, you need to open the slackbuild script in a text editor, and make sure the script has the correct version information so it can find the flashplayer you just downloaded. For example, I downloaded the 64bit flashplayer, and I renamed it like so:

Code:

mv flashplayer_square_p2_64bit_linux_092710.tar.gz libflashplayer-square-p2-092710.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz

Now, in the slackbuild, I had to edit the version. Open the slackbuild in your editor and notice the following line near the beginning of the script. Note the red text, identical to how I renamed my downloaded flashplayer thing:

Code:

VERSION=${VERSION:-square-p2-092710}

Now, save the slackbuild file and exit your text editor. In your console, while inside the directory where the above files are, you're gojng to execute the slackbuild script:

Code:

# make it executable:
chmod a+x <flash-player-SlackBuild> # Note, put the correct name of the slackbuild script here!

# now execute it:
./slackbuild-script.sh # again use the correct filename.

That should, if all is well, produce some output like below:

Code:

++
|| flashplayer-plugin-square-p2-092710
++

libflashplayer.so

blah blah blah ..

Slackware package /tmp/flashplayer-plugin-square-p2-092710-x86_64-1.txz created.

Now, install that new package:

Code:

installpkg /tmp/flashplayer-plugin-square-p2-092710-x86_64-1.txz

Done! Restart your browser and see if that works.

I've been to Slackbuilds, and have flash-player-plugin.SlackBuild in my home directory. When I click on the source downloads for 32 bit, it returns "URL not found."
I also have mozzilla-ns-3 in the home directory, without knowing how to install it. Also "install flashplayer 10"
The 3 flashplayer files look to me like a file that I can read, not something that would install a flash player. For instance, I can open flash-player-plugin.SlackBuild and see:"PRGNAM=flash-player-plugin
VERSION=10.2_d161
BUILD=${BUILD:-1}
TAG=${TAG:-_SBo}', etc. In fact, is it possible or prudent to just copy the text into a text editor? Crude, I know, but if it works...?

pottzie · 10-05-2010, 09:44 PM

Sorry, double post due to wireless crapping out on me. Does that a lot. Sorry.

hoodooman · 10-05-2010, 10:07 PM

OK Im guessing from the other posts that you are using Slackware.Can you confirm this.If so you should install sbopkg http://www.sbopkg.org/ and install it by opening a terminal in the folder that you have downloaded sbopkg too.Become root by typing su and entering your root password.Type installpkg sbopkg.tgz.Once installed,use this to get flash plugin.Again open a terminal..become root again and type sbopkg.Once it comes up hit sync to start with.Once it is done hit search.In the search type in flash-player-plugin and choose build from the options.This will install it in the correct place.

Squall90 · 10-06-2010, 01:57 AM

Wow, there's a SlackBuild for it? Until now I just downloaded the package and put the libflashplayer.so in the ~/.mozilla/plugins directory.

GrapefruiTgirl · 10-06-2010, 05:07 AM

OK, if you want to try sbopkg, see hoodooman's post #5. I haven't used sbopkg, so if you do that, tell me/us how it goes.

If you go the other route - it probably tells you it's a bad URL because Adobe is always working on and fiddling with the plugin releases, and so the names of the files (and the URL's) change often. Here's a page to download the plugins:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
Select the appropriate one. Note too, that I used an older Slackbuild script than the one currently available at slackbuilds.org. There's little difference, except you just have to still make sure the name(s) of the plugin file that you downloaded, are the same as in the script, so that the script can find your plugin file and unpack it.

I also have mozzilla-ns-3 in the home directory, without knowing how to install it.

I'm not sure what that is that you're referring to.

Quote:

Also "install flashplayer 10"
The 3 flashplayer files look to me like a file that I can read, not something that would install a flash player. For instance, I can open flash-player-plugin.SlackBuild and see:
PRGNAM=flash-player-plugin
VERSION=10.2_d161
BUILD=${BUILD:-1}
TAG=${TAG:-_SBo}
etc... In fact, is it possible or prudent to just copy the text into a text editor? Crude, I know, but if it works...?

The three files you got from slackbuild.org are indeed "files you can read" to some degree. They're supposed to be.

The Slackbuild itself is a "shell script". It contains a sequence of commands that your bash shell executes, to download and/or build the flash plugin package for Slackware. You shouldn't need to "copy text into a text editor", except if you open one of these files in a text editor (like the slackbuild script), and then you can edit the file appropriately to see that the right version and filename for the downloaded thing from Adobe, are in the script.

If you're having difficulty grasping the concept here of the slackbuild and how it works, that's OK - it will come to you sooner or later! If you want instead, go ahead and try hoodooman's suggestion of sbopkg and let us know how that goes.

@ Squall - Post #6 Yep, you can simply plop the library in place and it will work just fine - but that way doesn't provide any mechanism for removing, upgrading, etc., because the package manager is not aware that it's installed... You're left to do it manually with a copy/paste. Of course, if that's the way you want to do it, well, by all means, it's your machine.

GrapefruiTgirl · 10-06-2010, 08:47 AM

@ pottzie,

as I mentioned above I haven't used sbopkg so I don't know how it works. However, given that the filename of the download from Adobe website (and hence the URL too) seems to change sort of often, and not just the version number but the entire syntax of the filename changes, I'm not sure how using sbopkg can find the right file to download either. If it works for you, that's great! If you're still looking at the Slackbuild install method, read on:

I have here a Slackbuild script which I have modified so that it "should" work** without needing further editing, and it should work for the adobe filenames that are available as of today at the Adobe link given earlier in this thread [ ** see NOTES inside script comments ].

Here's a copy + paste of me using the script:

Code:

root@reactor: sh flashplayer-plugin.SlackBuild

(y/n) Is libflashplayer-square-p2-092710.linux-x86-64.so.tar.gz the correct file to repackage? y

|| flashplayer-plugin-square-p2-092710

libflashplayer.so

Searching for symbolic links:

No symbolic links were found, so we won't make an installation script.
You can make your own later in ./install/doinst.sh and rebuild the
package if you like.

This next step is optional - you can set the directories in your package
to some sane permissions. If any of the directories in your package have
special permissions, then DO NOT reset them here!

Would you like to reset all directory permissions to 755 (drwxr-xr-x) and
directory ownerships to root.root ([y]es, [n]o)? n

Creating Slackware package:  /home/sasha/Downloads/FLASH-PLUGIN/flashplayer-plugin-square-p2-092710-x86_64-1.txz

root@reactor:

So it's kind of automatic. BUT: it doesn't download the thing from Adobe (due to the changing filenames mentioned, too hassle-y), you have to download it yourself. Also download the slack-desc file from slackbuilds.org. Put both of those files in the same location as my Slackbuild script, and execute the script as I have shown above, like this:

Code:

root# sh flashplayer-plugin.SlackBuild

It should ask you if it has identified the correct file for processing. See the red text above. If the filename is that which you just download from Adobe, hit "y" and the script should do its thing; a moment later, you'll see the output location and name of your new package, like:

Code:

Slackware package /home/sasha/Downloads/FLASH-PLUGIN/flashplayer-plugin-square-p2-092710-x86_64-1.txz created.

So you now use `installpkg` to install it:

Code:

root# installpkg /home/sasha/Downloads/FLASH-PLUGIN/flashplayer-plugin-square-p2-092710-x86_64-1.txz

Here's the Slackbuild script I used for this process:

#
# Oct 6 2010  : Mods by Sasha. Script has been altered to:
#               --not bother trying to download files; filenames change too much.
#               --asks user to select *flash* file in $CWD to build pkg from.
#               --converts filename underscores to dashes.
#               --drops final package in $CWD instead of /tmp
# SASHA'S NOTES:
#       Due to the various formats of the filenames given to the archives that
#       Adobe puts for download, the $VERSION string can be non-conformant with
#       what the Slackware packagetools understands. Therefore, The final package
#       name may not adhere to Slackware package naming conventions. While this
#       poses no functional problem, it does cause the slack-desc description to
#       not be shown when package is installed/removed/etc.. This doesn't bother
#       me any, but if it bothers you, you'll need to hack this script up a little
#       bit more, to _really_ process & fix the incoming filename.
#
# SASHA'S HOW TO USE:
# -- Download the Adobe flashplayer-plugin archive from adobe.com making sure
#    to get the correct $ARCH for your machine + OS.
# -- Download or create an appropriate slack-desc file.
# -- Place those two things in a directory alongside this script.
# -- Run this script like: sh flashplayer-plugin.SlackBuild
# -- The package (.txz) and .txt file will appear in $CWD/FLASH-PLUGIN
# -- Install it using `installpkg`
#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A quick thanks to everybody. I'm checking this out during my lunch hour, and will try this later. For now let me say how much I appreciate everyone's input. What I want to learn from this is how packages are installed and what has to happen to make files work. Even deciphering what files have to be included with Slackbuids is "strange", at least to me now. For instance, it makes sense to get the script telling bash to install, but the "read me" files are needed too?
I tinkered around with Arch Linux for a bit. I decided to replace it with Slackware, and now realize that the problems I had with Arch were probably caused by a conflict between newer kernel and my older Intel motherboard. I'm using 12.2 because of that now on this machine. But Arch used a lot of BSD framework, and I see that Slack (and maybe Gentoo?) does too. Sounds like a great way to learn, if I don't try the patience of everyone who has helped. I'm slow to learn sometimes.

I tried the sbopkg option, but when I entered "installpkg sbopkg.tgz" it said that it couldn't open it since it wasn't a .tgz file. I've seen that several times, and it seems odd. Although it does have a cng.tgz ending. as I said, installpkg hasn't actually installed anything yet for me! And everything I've tried has been a .tgz file.

I was able to open it by cd'ing to the Desktop directory and tar -xzvf, but I don't know where it went, and typing sbopkg in the terminal isn't recognized. Too bad,I'd like to see what it does!

pottzie · 10-06-2010, 04:23 PM

Tried "sh flashplayer-plugin.SlackBuild" and while that didn't work, I saw that I had "flash-player-plugin", and when I did "sh", it said that "flash-player-plugin: flash-player-plugin: is a directory" Interesting!
I can cd into it, but didn't make anything happen. Just surprised to find that it's a directory. And wondering how I do anything with it.

For trying to diagnose what's going on in your above posts #10 and #11, please copy + paste for us, right from your terminal, the commands you're running and the output or errors they produce. Also, please show us the output of these two commands:

Code:

ls -l
pwd

so that we can see the full filenames of whatever files you're trying to work with, and your current directory name/path.

GrapefruiTgirl · 10-06-2010, 05:24 PM

And, for the heck of it, here's a(nother) step-by-step for flash plugin, using the procedure I've outlined above:

1)
Download either 32bit plugin or 64bit plugin.

2)
Download or copy+save from your browser, the slack-desc file from sbo.

3)
copy the slackbuild script I posted above, into a text editor. Save the file. Exit the text editor.

4)
Observe below, I put the mentioned 3 items in a folder:

Code:

root@reactor: pwd
/home/sasha/Downloads/BUILD
root@reactor: ls -l

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    1017 Oct  6 18:57 slack-desc

# So, you see the 3 files in the above directory.
# Now I'll execute the slackbuild:

Or get a package plus SlackBuild for the latest version of the flashplayer-plugin at http://slackware.com/~alien/slackbui...player-plugin/

By the way, VLC is perfectly capable of playing youtube videos directly without requiring a flash player to be installed at all; a command like this will play the video while omitting all the other stuff on the web page.
