Flash puzzler.

OK, I've got a bit of a puzzle maybe someone can help me with. Until recently, I was running KDE 3.5.5 on OpenSuse 10.1. I had flash working great with the version 9 beta. This week, I upgraded to OpenSuse 10.2, got the latest KDE 3.5.6, and the rpm for the official flash 9. Now flash should still work, right (BTW, I'm talking Konq, here)? Nope. Any page I visit just skips right past the flash images like they're not even there. No errors, they just don't appear; not even empty frames. I'm still using my old home drive and user account, so all my settings came over. I tried creating a new test user; that account gets the same result. Root user gets same result. Firefox shows flash just fine under any account. Java is working fine, too. In Konq settings, the plugins show up in the plugin list. Did I miss anything? Does anyone know if there is some odd setting that I'm overlooking here? I'm at a loss.

Remove flash rpm, download in tar format and copy

Source code

 
1

libflashplayer.so

to

Source code

 
1

/usr/lib/browser-plugins/


This rpm might installed plugin in some other folder, that konqueror doesn't have on search list.

Plugin is there.

The plugin is in the default folder for Konq plugins. It is even listed in the plugins list.

In konqueror configuration:
plugins->plugins
do you see libflashplayer.so? Otherwise click scan->scan for new plugins.

Do you have Enable plugins globally checked?
Works fine here, have you tried in other browsers (opera, ff)?

did you remove the beta plugin of flash?

You can also checkout the file ~/.kde/share/apps/nsplugins/pluginsinfo to see if konqueror got the correct version of flash.

Yes, Enable plugins globally is checked. It does work fine in Firefox under and user account. Something just seems to have gone wrong with Konqueror. I looked at the pluginsinfo file, and it lists flash player version 9 right at the top. I checked the version number and it matches the current release, not the beta. I'm still open to suggestions. Thanks.

you could try to rename/delete that nsplugin directory, start konqueror, and make konqueror look for plugins again.
