Does anyone know what is the status of flash9 or flash10 in RELENG_7 ? Following the thread of a couple of months ago, i tried to: - remove all linux-* ports - set the following in /etc/make.conf OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8 OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f8 - set the following in /etc/sysctl.conf compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 - set the following in /etc/fstab linproc /usr/compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 - reinstall linux_base-f8-8_11 - reinstall linux-flashplugin-10.0r22 (which in turn brings in the relevant linux-f8-* ports) - also install nspluginwrapper and create a firefox plugin - upgrade firefox to firefox-3.5,1 (native), just in case - run firefox with "limit stacksize 4megabytes" (or variants) as recommended to avoid npviewer growing/not dying This was done on 3 different machines (one laptop with a centrino, 2 desktops with AMD X2 dual core running in i386 mode) with mixed [in]success. On one machine thing started working well, but on the other two they did not (the various packages were of course slightly disaligned) and while trying to replicate the configuration i also broke the good one without figuring out why. Symptoms are that on certain sites or actions (e.g. switch to full screen on youtube videos) i get firefox freezing like this 22381 luigi 13 96 0 82580K 57484K ucond 1 0:00 0.20% firefox-bin 22413 luigi 1 97 0 72920K 33448K futex 1 0:00 0.20% npviewer.bin 22414 luigi 1 97 0 72920K 33448K futex 1 0:00 0.20% npviewer.bin and recovering control (but no video) after 10+seconds I also get a lot of the following weak_unref warnings with various addresses (firefox-bin:22381): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_weak_unref: couldn't find weak ref 0x297ba9f0(0x2a10d110) (but not sure how related is this, because it happens even without a flash plugin). I have also tried flash9 instead of flash10, o fc10 instead of fc8, all with similar results. Is there a recipe for a working flas9 or flash10 operation ? cheers luigi
