after upgrading adobe-flash to 10.1.53.64, chromium-bin (5.0.376.0_p44230) does not show any flash content and gives information about missing plugin. downgrading to 10.0.45.2-r1 fix that issue. my emerge --info: Portage 2.1.8.3 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde, gcc-4.3.4, glibc-2.11.2-r0, 2.6.32-gentoo-r7 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.32-gentoo-r7-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_P9700_@_2.80GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Sat, 19 Jun 2010 10:00:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.1_p7 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11 dev-lang/python: 2.6.5-r2, 3.1.2-r3 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.1-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.6.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.65 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r3, 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.3.4, 4.4.4-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.10 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.34 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="*" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=nocona" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/eselect/postgresql /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=nocona" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests distlocks fixpackages news parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LANG="en_US" LC_ALL="" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="pl" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac aalib acpi alsa amd64 amr bash-completion bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdr chm cli consolekit cracklib crypt cups cvs cxx dbus dell djvu dri dts dvd dvdr ebook emboss encode exif fam ffmpeg firefox flac fortran gdbm gif git gphoto2 gpm gtk hal hpijs iconv java jpeg jpeg2k kde lame laptop lcms libnotify lzma mad mikmod mmx mng modules mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap multilib ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp pam pango pcre pdf perl png postgres ppds pppd python qt3support qt4 readline reflection samba scanner sdl semantic-desktop session spell spl sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg sysfs taglib tcpd theora threads tiff truetype unicode usb vcd vorbis x264 xcb xml xorg xulrunner xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="pl" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="vesa nvidia" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
FLASH 10.1.53.64 is 32bit only you will need nsplugin wrapper for it to function until Adobe releases a 64bit plugin
so it should be masked on amd64, am i right?
Actually, it is supposed to work on amd64 in 32-bit mode, and it is important to upgrade to 10.1 because 10.0 has significant security problems. So, is there any chance you would try out another browser (e.g. firefox-bin) with the upgraded flash to determine whether the 10.1 flash plugin is totally broken on your box or just has an incompatibility with chromium-bin?
it works well in firefox
Ok, time to assign yet another flash 10.1 bug to the poor maintainers ;)
If I am not mistaken, the chromium-bin doesn't behave like firefox-bin and install a 64bits binary version instead of a 32bits one : SRC_URI="x86? ( http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/${MY_PV}/chrome-linux.zip -> ${PN}-x86-${MY_PV}.zip ) amd64? ( http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux-64/${MY_PV}/chrome-linux.zip -> ${PN}-amd64-${MY_PV}.zip )" Simply removing the 64bits or having a forcing flag for the 32 bits version could help here ?
I'm pretty sure that using flash 10.1 in nspluginwrapper within a new-enough 64-bit chromium is okay, see discussion in bug #324365 for details. Adding Chromium-bin maintainers for an official answer: What about chromium-bin? Are any versions there safe to use with flash 10.1 and nspluginwrapper?
Indeed! The version needs to be new enough to have the workaround upstream added for flash 10.1 As chromium-bin only follows trunk versions, I've added 6.0.451.0_p51005 to the tree, tested and working on amd64/nspluginwrapper/latest flash
Added 6.0.470.0_p52843 for people using chromium-bin and nvidia binary drivers, so far so good with nspluginwrapper So we should be all good here :)
