[SOLVED] Slackware 14.2 - Pipelight - User Agent

glupa4e · 08-22-2016, 01:50 PM

Hi,

i tried to follow Eric's instructions. Everything went smoothly until i had to test pipelight on that site.
I have enabled silverlight

Code:

bash-4.3$ pipelight-plugin --list-enabled
silverlight5.1

When i do the pipelight-test, i am getting the error that silverlight has not been installed on my computer (see screenshot). What could be wrong?

What browser are you using?

glupa4e · 08-23-2016, 01:13 AM

I use Firefox ESR 45.2.0.

heitorlinks · 09-14-2016, 04:06 PM

I have the same problem using firefox 45 in slackware 14.2 64bits

OpenAL (OpenAL-compat32-1.15.1-x86_64-1aliencompat32.tgz)
cabextract (64bits)
pipelight (32bits)
webcore-fonts-installer(64bits)
wine-pipelight(32bits)

and wine(32bits)

I have multilib.
The pipelight created /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libpipelight5.1.so

Your problem may be that on a 64bit Slackware using 64bit browser, you need a 64bit pipelight package instead of a 32bit pipelight; and the 64bit wine package (not wine-pipelight unless you are still running Slackware 14.0).
You also need to install the 64bit version of OpenAL (because my wine package also contains a 64bit variant of wine, supporting 64bit Windows apps). And my recent wine packages also depend on the libva package so you need to install that too (plus its 'compat32' version) if you are running Slackware 14.1. The libva package was added in Slackware 14.2 and the 'compat32' variant of libva is part of multilib for Slackware 14.2.
Plus you need multilib of course (but you already have that).

Thanks, worked perfect, I installed the following packages.

OpenAL compat32 + OpenAL 64
cabextract 64
wine 64
webcorefonts 64
pipelight 64

Hello i am still not able to get it working.
I installed all 64bit packages listed below using installpkg:
OpenAl64
cabextract64
wine64
wine-pipelight64
webcorefonts64
pipelight64

I do not know how to install compat32 of OpenAL.

I have multilib.

Pipelight did not create

Code:

/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libpipelight5.1.so

Do i have to remove any package? Have i isntalled the wrong ones? What else do i need to install?

Read http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/pipelight-update/ please, you will find that the wine-pipelight package is no longer needed (for Slackware 14.1 and newer). My regular wine package has been patched well and through, and it works with pipelight now.
Note that I do not have a wine-pipelight package in my repository at all for Slackware 14.1 and newer. What version of Slackware are you running?

The blog article I linked you to contains a reference to my earlier article about pipelight (http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/pipe...inux-browsers/) which has the details about creating a "compat32" multilib package for OpenAL.

Hi Alien Bob and thank you for your post. I removed wine-pipelight package. Now i have the following ones:

Code:

OpenAL-1.17.1-x86_64-2alien
OpenAL-compat32-1.17.1-x86_64-1aliencompat32
cabextract-1.4-x86_64-1alien
pipelight-0.2.8.2-x86_64-1alien
webcore-fonts-installer-3.0-noarch-2alien
pipelight-0.2.8.2-x86_64-1alien
wine-1.9.15-x86_64-1alien

I do not know if the packages must be installed the way they are listed. I mean if they depend on each other. So I am running Slackware 14.2 which is also multilib.

I tried once again to enable silverlight5.1 with the silverlight-plugin as my own user and not the root user. When i started Firefox, I had a prompt to install Silverlight and i did it. Nevertheless i still do not have the library

Code:

/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libpipelight5.1.so

and the pipelight test still fails:

Code:

User agent (Javascript)
Checking for Windows user agent ...okay
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko
Please note: not every user agent works on every site, try multiple ones if something doesn't work!

Silverlight (as seen by a website)
Checking for Silverlight ...failed

Pipelight
Checking for Pipelight ...failed
Do you have Pipelight installed and enabled the Silverlight5.1 plugin ?

Result
Result from all tests ...failed
Something is wrong with your pipelight installation

Do you know how could i debug?

Alien Bob · 10-24-2016, 04:31 AM

I wonder if you have actually read the full instructions? Seems like you missed this:

Code:

Then, open a terminal and check out the new functionality by running the “pipelight-plugin” program.
Use it to list the available plugins and to enable/disable one or more of these plugins.
Do this as your own user account, not as the root user!
The result of enabling a plugin is that a symbolic link to the corresponding shared library
will be created in your ~/.mozilla/plugins/ directory.

$ pipelight-plugin –help
…
Supported plugins:
silverlight5.1
silverlight5.0
silverlight4
flash
shockwave
unity3d
$ pipelight-plugin –enable silverlight
Plugin silverlight5.1 is now enabled
$ pipelight-plugin –list-enabled
silverlight5.1

Hi Alien Bob,

i appreciate your willingness to help. I read the instructions and had also done what you posted.
I tried also something else you had written
As root i ran

Code:

pipelight-plugin –update

Update was installed.
Then i tried the silverlight test and it was successful. Although i do not have the symbolic link

Code:

/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libpipelight5.1.so

the silverlight plugin works again for me.

Thanks to all who posted!
