T0ken Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) I have two installations of Mandriva One 2009 KDE that this is happening on. I never had a problem when I installed with Gnome. This is with: Mandriva One 2009 KDE 4.1.3 Firefox 3.0.4 Shockwave Flash 10.0 r12 all other flash installations were removed prior to installing ver. 10 Here are screenshots of what actually happens. This website is just an example, this issue is seen on ALL websites that use flash. At first, when I got to a site using the flash plugin, it appears to work fine with no issue: After an amount of time (usually 15-30 seconds) the flash object goes "blank", as seen here. Even the ad using flash to the left of the player is blank: Anyone else having this problem? Again, I haven't seen it while using Gnome, and also I have Opera installed and Flash works fine through it.

viking777 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 I'm having flash problems at the moment as well: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtop...st&p=554804 Not quite the same as yours perhaps, but I do have similar problems on occasions and I usually find that clicking the browser 'refresh' button sorts it out. Not exactly a solution I know but a fairly easy work round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0ken Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Thanks for the reply! I've tried refreshing, and it will work again for a good 15 seconds to a minute, then it will go blank again. The weirdest thing to me is that I had no problems when I was running Gnome, so I'm assuming there's something I'm missing w/KDE 4.1.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking777 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Oh you are using KDE4 - Well there is your answer. DONT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0ken Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 But it's so purty!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0ken Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) OK, it appears this problem is fixed. Apparently all I needed to do was enable "smooth scrolling" inside firefox. Seems kinda weird, but it works, so I'll take it. EDIT Wow, nevermind, problem still exists Edited December 18, 2008 by T0ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angst Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) I was having the same problem with flash objects coming up blank on web pages when first loading but found that a page refresh would fix it. I'm not sure when it started as this is still a fairly fresh install of 2009.0 but I had upgraded the flash player from the Adobe web site. Anyway, I ran across a post which said if you had upgraded your flash player then you needed to remove libflashsupport. After doing so I had no more flash problems. Sorry I can't remember where I found the post (probably this board) in order to give props. Check to see if it is installed: rpm -qa | grep libflashsupport remove it: urpme libflashsupport Hope this helps.

medo3891 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Uninstall libflashsupport as angst said. Also a security issue was found with r12 and an update has been issued by Adobe, flash player 10 r15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexicon Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) @T0ken [lex@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep flash flash-plugin-10.0.15.3-release libflashsupport-0-20070927.2mdv2009.0 Browser itself brought me to a page with flash http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flash...elease.i386.rpm Please restart browser, before uninstall/remove old flash-plugin .....Lex Edited December 22, 2008 by Lexicon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0ken Posted December 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hey guys, thanks for the replies. But as I stated in my original post, "all previous flash installations were removed before I installed flash 10." This includes libflashsupport. But just to be certain, I ran the command 'urpme libflashsupport' and got 'unknown package: libflashsupport.' So it's definitely not installed. Might I be missing some files that must be manually removed?? I will try updating to Flash 10 rc15 and report back what happens. Thanks again for the help!

T0ken Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hey I'm still having this issue, is no one else with KDE 4.1.3 having this problem at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcoBgr Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Hi, I had the same problem. It fixed when I removed nspluginwrapper package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camorri Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I was having the same problem, but I was running KDE 3.5. I have Flash 10.0 r22 installed. I removed the nspluginwrapper-1.1.0-7mdv2009.0 and now the flash content works perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux99 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) I was having the same problem, but I was running KDE 3.5. I have Flash 10.0 r22 installed. I removed the nspluginwrapper-1.1.0-7mdv2009.0 and now the flash content works perfectly. nspluginwrapper should not be installed at all on a 32bit Mandriva install, it's only needed on a 64bit install (what matters here is not the 32/64bit capability of the cpu, but the 32 or 64bit version of Mandriva installed), therefore I would recommend anyone to remove it on a 32bit install right after the initial install, not just when experiencing problems. nspluginwrapper caused me problems with the acrobat-reader plugin on a 32bit Mandriva install, it's not just Flash that can be affected.

The Devil Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I've been having the same problem with Mandriva Gnome. Usually a refresh takes care of it, but I ended up installing the Flash 10 driver and am still having problems. I'm going to try uninstalling the libflashsupport...
