problems with flashplugin in Slackware x86_64

I have installed Slackware x86_64 in my computer and everything was fine until I realized that the flashplugin didn't work well. When I want to play a video on youtube the browser crashes.
I installed the flashplugin from Slackbuilds. In the Slacbuild file I just check the version and set ARCH to x86_64, What can I do?

Go to http://labs.adobe.com and get beta version of flash player plugin for x86_64 arch. It doesn't work fine, but it work and doesn't crash the browser.

The flash plugin on SBo is the same version as the Adobe Labs site.

guthan, what error messages do you get when you launch the browser from a terminal and it crashes after going to youtube?

See this thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ware64-728558/
Maybe it can help.

Please check if this is your problem: http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/flas...fox-on-x86_64/ - there is a solution too at that URL if indeed you have an Athlon64 CPU without the “lahf_lm” processor flag.

Hi, thank you for responding....
This is the error that I've got from the terminal:
/usr/lib64/firefox-3.5.2/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 4508 Illegal instruction "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

Guthan, see the above link on Alien Bob's blog. That has the fix for you.

Thanks a lot!
I did exactly what the Alien Bob's blog says and now I have a working flash for firefox.
really thanks.

I have tried everything nothing give me a solution. I don't no why. Please help.

My System is Slackware64-current latest update.

Firefox 3.6

1.tried both version (which one is the best ??):
flashplayer-plugin-10.0.42.34-x86_64
flash-player-plugin-10.0_r45-x86_64

2.then i tried aliens solution although my cpu has "lahf_lm" see here
cat /proc/cpuinfo give me:

3. after that i installed:
depencies for pulseaudio like described on SlackBuilds.org
and then
libflashsupport-20080328-x86_64 (without pulseaudio, because with pulsaudio won't build)

I can play Flash, but no Sound. Why?

Anywere else like in Amarok, i have Sound.

What can i do???

Flash Plugin don't work

Any ideas?

Flash should be configured to use ALSA by default (without the additional flash library), so if you're not getting sound it probably means that something is hogging your sound device. Anything configured to use OSS instead of ALSA will steal your sound device directly and you will not be able to get any sound from another application, so that is one thing to look into. I am much more versed in artsd than phonon, but since you're using -current I'm assuming you're using KDE4. I only use KDE4 on one user account and that is pretty rarely, but sound has 'just worked' with Flash there. I would check any settings you have for any software sound mixers or other sound daemons, as well as any applications you may have running (music players, for example, even if they're paused) and check to make sure that you are using ALSA as the output device and not OSS or any other software device. You should also make sure you user is a member of the audio group if you haven't already.

If you really do want to use the additional library with pulse audio, you would *need* pulse to build properly for it to work, since it uses pulse as an engine. You would of course then need to start the pulseaudio daemon to grab the sound from Flash. If it is not building properly on -current it is likely because of the switch to bash 4, so you may need to adjust the SlackBuild script to stop exiting from non-crucial errors. Search these forums for that. If it is still not working with pulse you may wish to take the easy way out and configure pulse to act as the backend for all audio...but I have not tested this on KDE4 (just 3.5 and other WMs) so I don't know what conflicts it would have with phonon. Just create a .asoundrc file with the following:

Code:

pcm.!default {

    type pulse

}

ctl.!default {

    type pulse

}

And restart X (or possibly your PC). Make sure pulse is running or you will get no sound at all.

That's a lot of information, some of it simplified beyond recognition, but it should get you started anyway.

Yes you are right! Here my Story or Solution :-)

----------------------------------long Story short-------------------------------------
I use hda_intel, because i have onboard sound.

root@slack64:~# lspci
00:07.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP67 High Definition Audio (rev a1)
In Kde 4.4.1 Multimedia i see HDA NVidia (ALC 888 Analog) i use Backend Xine.

I created a new user "test" and added too group audio

root@slack64:~# adduser test

check /etc/group
audio:x:17:root,test

After then i restart X an login to new user "test", kde sound appear ,because user is in group audio.

But this new Session created a new /etc/asound.state !!! This was the fix, to get flash in Firefox.

I login in my old user and here also flash is fine, Yeah!

Now i can also play mp3 files with mpg123 without Segmenationt fault

last test if you can see firefox here all is fine:

The only thing i couldn't find out is, why the mixer are not visible in kmix in my old account?
In the new account "test" i can see these in HDA NVidia mixer and can set up these under channels settings.

@slackcracker

did you do a full install of Slackware?

flash and or fire fox may require a compile time and or run time dependency that you excluded from your install of Slackware.

Yes, in the past i updated my maschine from Slackware64-13.0 to Slackware64-current, included aaa_elflibs-13.013-x86_64-4 from my local mirror, so this is a 100% full install of Slackware64.

But, i have Multilib and KDE 4.4.1, maybe this is development an thats the reason, something crashes.

after my sound was broken again i did this:

remove all other files beginning with sound in /etc/modprobe.d/
only keep sound.conf

edit sound.conf so it looks like this

root@slack64:~# more /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel

options snd-hda-intel index=0 id=default

reboot and all is fine hopefully :)

ok, so tonight none of this helped. i guess i didn't check the website google sent me to when i searched for "64bit flash for linux". somehow i accidentally downloaded the 32bit version.

If your flash plugin doesn't show on about:plugins, and nothing seems to work, run:

"file ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so"

If it returns "32bit executable", etc, you got the wrong version if you're on Slackware64 (and visa versa).

PEBKAC

Flash for 64 bit linux is trash. To get decent flash on 64 bit Slack, I installed the multilib files and then installed 32 bit browsers (Firefox and google chrome from slackbuilds--the 32 bit chrome now comes with it's own flash plugin).

Nothing else that I tried really worked.

Ok, that is an solution. I don't know really (maybe 80%) why my sound was broken the last weeks so often, but as long as i use slackware64 i had no problems with flash 64bit. I only use multilib for some programs, where no 64bit is available.

1. check your bios features for sound, try auto

2. check your hardware, to see if the kernel see them, for my intel-hd-onboard-sound ALC888 (ASRock 939N68PV-GLAN) it looks like this

root@slack64:~# lspci
00:07.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP67 High Definition Audio (rev a1)

root@slack64:~# dmesg | grep hd

HDA Intel 0000:00:07.0: setting latency timer to 64

3. check your sounddevices, if you use only alsa (recommended) like me

4. try playing, to check your sound, and sounddevices by playing

root@slack64:~# mpg123 Test.mp3
High Performance MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 Audio Player for Layers 1, 2 and 3
version 1.11.0; written and copyright by Michael Hipp and others
free software (LGPL/GPL) without any warranty but with best wishes

Playing MPEG stream 1 of 1: Test.mp3 ...
Title: Artist: Test
Comment: Album: Test

root@slack64:~# aplay Front_Center.wav
Playing WAVE 'Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono

mplayer and amarok works in most cases, but mpg123 shows me often when sound was broken

5. If no sound try using the programm alsaconf, an choose your soundcard

root@slack64:~# alsaconf

6. But i figured out that sometimes not all or wrong modules was loaded from the kernel. So check the modules loaded by the kernel, here my modules

root@slack64:~# lsmod | grep snd
snd_seq_dummy 1487 0
snd_seq_oss 29991 0
snd_seq_midi_event 5620 1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq 52679 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device 5459 3 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq
snd_pcm_oss 39975 0
snd_mixer_oss 16022 1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_hda_codec_realtek 257222 1
snd_hda_intel 21704 5
snd_hda_codec 65095 2 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel
snd_hwdep 6456 1 snd_hda_codec
snd_pcm 72035 4 snd_pcm_oss,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec
snd_timer 19512 3 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd 57492 19 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel,snd _hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore 5839 1 snd
snd_page_alloc 7145 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm

7. and yes, check your flash version if it is 64bit
root@slack64:~# file /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped

8. i also tried to remove alsound.state, alsaconf generate a new one
root@slack64:~# rm /etc/asound.state

9. my last solution was to remove all sound modules an rerun alsaconf, after this sound was also ok, because alsaconf load the right modules for you, try this

hopefully this helps :)

My Sound was broken again. :-( after a little Update.

I tried to play root@slack64:~# mpg123 Test.mp3 but an Error occured:
[oss.c:182] error: Can't open default sound device!

First i go to http://www.slackware.com/faq/do_faq.php?faq=distro#4
and reading Q: How do I get my sound card to work?

1. looking my configuration with: cat /proc/asound/oss/sndstat
2. changed my /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf and disabled OSS

root@slack64:~# cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf
#ALSA
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
#OSS
#alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel

3. after reboot my Audio devices changed, before change my USB Audio (my Webcam) was 0: see bottom
Audio devices:
0: ALC888 Analog (DUPLEX)
1: USB Audio

4. now my alsamixer points to my soundcard!
before it points to my USB Audio (my Webcam) which hasn't volume control, maybe that was the conflict

5. now i have sound again in Flash-Plugin, hope this help

After probing and testing much with Alsa /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf nothing helps, but i found a first solution for me. :-) Flash-Plugin and Alsa are not the Problem! The Audio Device Order is my problem. How can i fix this better?

My Logitech Usb-Webcam C300 block the first sound-device /dev/dsp, because it is loaded first by the module snd_usb_audio,
then my onboard sound card Realtek ALC888 hda-intel is loaded by the module snd_hda_intel as second device

then it looks like this:
root@slack64:~# cat /proc/asound/oss/sndstat
...
Audio devices:
0: USB Audio
1: ALC888 Analog (DUPLEX)
...

mpg123 can't play on /dev/dsp

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
here my Solution:
1. blacklist snd_usb_audio in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf (prevent to load the module first)
2. modprobe snd_usb_audio & in /etc/rc.d/rc.local (load the module later)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So my sound card is the first audio device and Flash-Plugin works! :-)

then it looks like this:

SB Live working again

Thanks for the blacklist idea.

Sound was working fine, then one reboot and the HDMI sound onboard soundcard took precedence over the other modules.

A quick way to remove snd modules without rebooting:

lsmod|awk '/snd/{print "modprobe -r "$1}'|sh

Run it a few times, it will unload modules as they no longer have any deps. I use XFCE, so I needed to remove the Mixer app from the panel to free the binding for the Intel sound driver. Then I ran the above again and it removed the remaining modules.

Then I updated /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
added:
blacklist snd_hda_codec_atihdmi
blacklist snd_hda_intel

Then I reran alsaconf - Bingo!
I readded the mixer to the panel and it now picked up SB Live mixer.

mpg321 now worked fine and sound was all back.

cat /proc/asound/oss/sndstat
