RPM can be used on Red Hat, SuSe, Mandriva (Mandrake) and Caldera distributions.

First you may read the man of RPM ’cause rpm have alot of options….

$ man rpm

So, now how to use:

# rpm -option package_name.rpm

Some Options:

-q : show if the package is installed or not.
-a : with the option -q, show all the packages installed.
-i : able to install the package.
-e : unistall the packeage.
-U : this option update and install the package.
-F : this option update the package, but only if is a new version of the package.
-V : show the info of the package
-v : show all the process of the command.

That’s it!

e.g the next line Update/install the package, show the process

# rpm -Uvh package_name.rpm

Tras surcar la web en busca de una solución a los problemas que estaba teniendo con la versión de 32bits de flash player 10 ejecutada mediante “nspluginwrapper” (la que figura en los repositorios) encontré la solución.

Primero vamos a borrar todo vestigio del plugin de 32 bits que puedas tener, para ello haz lo siguiente:

1. <Alt+F2> y teclea: gedit

2. Copia y pega lo siguiente:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Borrar cualquier flash plugin instalado"
sudo apt-get remove -y --purge flashplugin-nonfree gnash gnash-common mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla libflashsupport nspluginwrapper
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/*flash*
sudo rm -f ~/.mozilla/plugins/*flash*
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/*flash*
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/*flash*
sudo rm -rfd /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper

2. Guárdalo como: ~/borrarFlasPlugin32bits.sh

3. Ahora abre un terminal y teclea:

$ sudo sh ./borrarFlasPlugin32bits.sh

Cuando haya terminado sigue los siguientes pasos para instalar la versión de 64 bits.

1. Descargate la última versión del plugin flash player 10 de 64 bits desde aquí.

2. Abre el nautilus como root presionando: <Alt+F2> y tecleando: gksudo nautilus. Luego desplásate a la carpeta donde te descargaste el fichero.

3. Ahora abre el fichero que te bajaste en el paso 1. Verás que contiene un fichero de nombre igual:  libflashplayer.so

4. Presiona <Control+T> para abrir una pestaña nueva en el nautilus. Luego presiona: <Control+L> para acceder a la barra de direcciones e introduce: /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins

5. Desde la ventana con el fichero “tar.gz” abierto arrastra el fichero “libflashplayer.so” hasta la pestaña que acabas de abrir.

Todo esto equivale a descomprimir el fichero que te has bajado y ejecutar:

$ sudo cp ./libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins

Ahora reinicia tu navegador y verás que todo te funciona de maravilla.

A disfrutar!

Actualización del 01/12/2009

Para aquellos que lo anterior no le funciona existe otra forma menos complicada:

1. Mediante synaptic busca por “flas player” y borra el paquete “flasplugin-installer” marcando la opción: borrar definitivamente

2. Visita esta página de adobe donde podrás bajarte la última versión de 64 bits de Flash Player 10

3. Create la carpeta: ~/.mozilla/plugins si no la tienes creada todavía.

4. Extrae del fichero “tar.gz” que te bajaste en el paso 2 el contenido (libflashplayer.so) dentro del directorio indicado en el paso 3

5. Reinicia tu firefox y listo.

A ser felices!!

Hola a todos!

Después de probar muchas de las soluciones que encontraba en la red para solucionar los problemas que estaba teniendo con el plugin de flash player en mi instalación de Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala por fin tengo la solución definitiva.

Los problemas que estaba teniendo eran:

• No funcionaban los controles (play, pause, ver en HQ)
• La visión en pantalla completa a veces funcionaba y otras no
• Cada “X” minutos el flash dejaba de funcionar en el firefox
• Tampoco iba bien en el Google Chrome y el Chromium

Aquí está la solución. Mejor la copias o la imprimes porque tendrás que cerrar todos los navegadores que tengas abierto:

1.  Abre el “gedit” y  copia el siguiente código:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Borrar cualquier flash plugin instalado"
sudo apt-get remove -y --purge flashplugin-nonfree gnash gnash-common mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla libflashsupport nspluginwrapper
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/*flash*
sudo rm -f ~/.mozilla/plugins/*flash*
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/*flash*
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/*flash*
sudo rm -rfd /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper

2. Grábalo como: “~/BorrarFlashPlugin.sh”

3. Abre un terminal y teclea lo siguiente:

miusuario@miequipo:~$ sudo sh ./BorrarFlashPlugin.sh

Este script borrará todo vestigio de cualquier plugin flash player que tengas instalado.

4. Ahora descárgate el paquete debian de flash player para 64bits desde aquí.

5. Instálalo y ya está.

La primera vez que lo ejecuté me dio un error. Lo ignoré y desde entonces todo va como la seda. Lo digo por si a ti también te pasa que no te asustes

A disfrutar!!

Plugins erweitern den Browser, der dann mit mehr Dateiformaten umgehen kann. Ein bekanntes Plugin ist etwa Adobes Flashplayer, der benötigt wird um z.B. Videos auf Youtube abzuspielen. Weitere verbreitet Plugins sind Java, Adobe Reader, Quicktime oder Realplayer. Leider bieten diese Plugins eine enorme Angriffsfläche für schädliche Websites, insbesondere wenn sie nicht immer auf dem neuesten Stand gehalten werden. Vor allem der Adobe Reader ist mit seinen zahlreichen Sicherheitslücken ein beliebtes Angriffsziel für Web-Schädlinge. Im Firefox-Browser existiert bisher keine Möglichkeit, die Plugins ähnlich wie die Addons und den Browser selbst mit automatischen Updates aktuell zu halten. Abhilfe schafft da Mozillas Plugincheck-Website. Auf der Seite werden die installierten Plugins aufgelistet, bei veralteten Versionen gewarnt, und Downloadlinks für Updates angezeigt. In Zukunft soll diese Funktion direkt in den Browser integriert werden, bis dahin hilft ein regelmässiger Besuch beim Plugincheck.

Bueno pues a quienes no nos funciono el instalador automatico de mozilla firefox, tambien es bueno poner de vez en cuando una linea de codigo en la terminal!!! jejej!!!…. e ir conociendo un poco mas las entra;as de nuestro solaris….

Manos a la obra….

#Descarga el archivo de la pagina de adobe
wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/flash_player_10_solaris_x86.tar.bz2
Descomprime el .tar.bz2

bzip2 -dv flash_player_10_solaris_x86.tar.bz2

Descomprime el .tar
tar xvf flash_player_solaris_x86.tar

ingresamos a la carpeta en donde se desempaco el .tar
cd flash_player_solaris_rc32_18_x86
#La version que descargue es la rc32-18 depronto para uds varia


ahora vamos a copiar el .so a la carpeta de plugins de mozilla firefox
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/

Reiniciamos Firefox y todo listo….
espero les sirva…. XD

At last Adobe and Apple found compomise for flashplayer on iPhone platform. Adobe announced that by the end of 2009 flashplayer will be available for iPhones. The latest flashIDE (Flash CS5) will with support for building applications for iPhone. It goes the same way as Samoiloff predicted. Let’s wait and see what do they prepare for Flash developers.

Per installare l’ultima versione di Falsh Player 10 su Debian Squeeze a 64 bit è possibile seguire quest procedura.

Scaricate la versione alfa in formato tar.gz del pacchetto da questa pagina: labs.adobe.com

Sebbene sia una versione alfa funziona comunque bene, ed è certamente conveniente utilizzare questo plugins piuttosto che la versione 9 o quello fornito su debian.

Una volta scaricato estraete il pacchetto:

tar -xvzf libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz

spostate la libreria nella cartella plugins di iceweasel:

mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/

Rimuovete il plugin installato su debian:

apt-get remove swfdec-mozilla

A questo punto riavviate iceweasel e andate sulla pagina about:plugins dove dovreste trovare il plugin riportato nell’immagine di questo post.

NVIDIA: GPU accelerated flash footage leaked! – ( HWBOX ) O/C on first boot
Μεγάλος “ντόρος” έχει δημιουργηθεί τον τελευταίο καιρό και με το GPU accelerated flash footage που ακούστηκε ότι παρουσίασε σε επιλεγμένο κοινό η NVIDIA. Παρόλο όμως που η εταιρεία ήθελε να κρατήσει μακριά τα φώτα της δημοσιότητας μέχρι το επίσημο press release που θα δωθεί στις 5 Οκτωβρίου, το Γερμανικό website notebookjournal.de “ανέβασε” στο youtube video στο οποίο φαίνεται ένα μέλος του προσωπικού της NVIDIA να παρουσιάζει ένα εσωτερικό build του Flash Player εν δράση[next]

Επιτάχυνση του Adobe Flash Player μέσα από τις κάρτες γραφικών; – TheLab.gr
Φαίνεται πως η υπόσχεση της Nvidia και της Adobe για υποστήριξη και επιτάχυνση των Flash videos, γίνεται πια πραγματικότητα. Αν και δεν υπάρχει ακόμα επίσημη ανακοίνωση, η Nvidia έχει επιδείξει πρώιμες εκδόσεις του Adobe Flash Player με υποστήριξη σε επίπεδο υλικού μέσα από της κάρτες γραφικών που παράγει. Στις επιδείξεις αυτές, χρησιμοποιήθηκαν HD videos του YouTube, που έτρεχαν με άνεση σε netbooks βασισμένα στην πλατφόρμα Ion, ενώ τα ίδια videos δεν έτρεχαν το ίδιο εύκολα στην πλατφόρμα Atom της Intel.[next]

Adobe telah merilis versi terbaru Flash Player miliknya. Flash Player selama ini dikenal memiliki kemampuan untuk menjadikan konten lebih interaktif dan digunakan untuk membuka aplikasi berbasis browser.

Flash Player 10 yang baru saja dirilis sudah dapat didownload. Beberapa fitur tambahan Flash Player terbaru ini adalah penambahan kemampuan transformasi 3D dan animasi dan mendukung akselerasi dari beberapa fungsi grafis yang terdapat pada chip adapter grafis komputer (GPU).

Rilis Flash Player 10 ini hanya berselang sehari setelah sebelumnya Microsoft sudah mengupdate platform Silverlightnya.

Menurut pihak Adobe kurang lebih 90% komputer desktop pengguna yang terhubung internet sudah terinstal Flash Player. Bandingkan dengan Silverlight versi 2 yang hanya 25% terinstal di komputer pengguna.

Baik Flash Player maupun Silverlight dapat berjalan di sistem Windows, Linux dan Mac.

Pada saat yang sama Adobe juga merilis Flash CS4 yang merupakan software untuk membuat konten bagi Flash 10. Silahkan Download Disini

I would like to add a technique to the collective knowledge that I have implemented in our MVC framework and propagated through our legacy code base: IDisposable.

The contract of IDisposable is very simple, exposing a lone method: dispose(). An implementation of the interface has the following responsibilities:

1. Follow the rules of the aforementioned links (e.g. removing event listeners)
2. Call dispose on any IDisposable children that he is responsible for.
3. Explicitly set all class level non-simple types to null, including splicing arrays, and deleting dictionary/object keys.

The reason for number 3 is very simple. Take a look at the following diagram taken from the garbage collection overview by Grant:

Credit to Grant Skinner: http://www.gskinner.com/blog/

Since the first pass of the flash garbage collector is based off of reference counting, the goal is to remove all references that you can control in order to optimize for the collector. Let’s see an example.

private var _string1:String = "Don't bother disposing of me";
private var _a:Array;
private var _o1:Object;
private var _o2:Object;
private var _o3:Object;

function ohSnap():void
{
    _o1 = {label: "sweet"};
    _o2 = {label: "awesome", sweet: _o1};
    _o3 = {label: "cool", awesome: _o2, sweet: _o1};
    _a = [_o1, _o2, _o3];
}

Even if this array and collection of objects ends up white in the mark and sweep diagram above, they remain in memory until the second phase of the collector is activated. Why?

Lets count the references of the objects created in ohSnap:
o1: 4 references, by the array, o2, o3, and _o1.
o2: 3 references, by the array, o3, and _o2.
o3: 2 references, by the array and _o3.
a: 1 reference by _a

Now, let’s go on ahead and optimize our destruction by cleaning up these references in our dispose method:

public function dispose():void
{
    for ( var i:int = _a.length-1; i > -1; i-- )
    {
        var o:Object = _a[i];
        for ( var key:String in o )
        {
            delete o[key];
        }
        _a.splice(i, 1);
    }
    _o1 = null;
    _o2 = null;
    _o3 = null;
    _a = null;
}

Deleting the keys of the objects removes the references of o1 in o2 and o3, and o2 in o3, while splicing the array removed the references to o1, o2, and o3. Finally, the class level references to the objects were removed, leaving a reference count of zero for the three objects and array.

In addition to having the marksweep collection method run less because the reference count method removes the objects first, implementing a standard contract in your applications for all objects makes memory management, such as identifying leaks easier because the cleanup of each object is in a standardized place.

Kurze Notiz,  weil ich a) immer wieder vergesse wie es geht, und b) die ersten Treffer bei Google zu dem Thema entweder veraltet sind und/oder nicht funktionieren.

1. Aktuelle install_flash_player.exe herunterladen
2. das Entpacker-Programm 7Zip herunterladen und installieren
3. Damit die install_flash_player.exe entpacken
4. anschließend die Dateien NPSWF32.DLL und flashplayer.xpt in das Plugin-Verzeichnis von Firefox kopieren, das dürfte meistens C:\Programme\Mozilla Firefox\plugins sein.
5. fertig!

Keine Gewähr, auf eigenes Risiko und so… das Vorgehen habe ich von hier übernommen.

Die Sendungen von Bahnwelt TV lassen sich im Browser komfortabel mit dem Flash Player Plugin betrachten. Adobe hat am 25.7.2009 ein wichtiges Update für den Flash Player herausgebracht. Mit der neuen Version wurde ein kritisches Sicherheitsloch geschlossen. Wir empfehlen dieses Update unbedingt zu installieren. Zum Download geht es hier >>

Första gången jag såg det här tricket var på omslaget till en Ellos-katalog!

The topic has vital importance for great number of developers now. In the beginning everything was really promissing. Adobe worked on flashplayer for iPhone, it was announced and had a wide responce in developers media. But when everything was ready Apple refused to allow flashplayer on iPhone because it will take away lot’s of money that Apple recieves from the Apple Store.

FlashPlayer opens highway for millions of free web applications such as games, widgets etc. And of course Apple won’t allow users get it free since they can get it for money .

In more details this issue is descibed by Brian X. Chen and David Tucker.

In conclusion I want you to see related movie at youtube.

I sujest that distribution of flashplayer on mobile platform is inevitable. And in the end Apple will have no choise just to allow flashplayer for iPhones. Probably it’s functionality will be restricted in order to correspond greedy Apple’s requirements.

The necessary evil was accomplished, Flash Player 10 installed following the instructions on the Debian wiki. Sound was configured as follows (this will be added to the final ‘light’ installation).

• su
• aptitude install alsa-utils
• alsaconf
• answer some questions as alsaconf finds your sound card – I just accepted all the defaults
• aptitude install mpg123 (nice simple command line mp3 player)
• exit from su
• mpg123 filename-of-mp3-file
• in another terminal (dwm is handy here) run alsamixer and adjust to taste

I’m listening to Nicola Benedetti playing Debussy and Ravel, free mp3 downloads from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

It has to be said that this Dell L400 laptop has seriously challenged audio quality, lots of electrical noise from the motherboard, so that you can hear the hard drive kicking in! Playback is smooth however, no stutters.

Có một lúc nào đó, máy tính bạn trở chứng. Bạn dùng Firefox vào youtube.com xem video không được (IE, Chrome xem bình thường). Bạn vào Adobe update phiên bản flash player mới nhất. Nhưng vẫn không xem được video.

Dưới đây là vài thao tác để khắc phục lỗi đó

Trước tiên, bạn cần download về plugin file theo đường dẫn sau:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get…player-win.xpi
Trong lúc download nhớ đổi tên đuôi file theo hình bên dưới.

Download xong, giải nén file và copy 2 file: flashplayer.xpt và NPSWF32.dll đến 2 folders:

Cài đặt cho All Users
Từ Windows Explorer tìm đến folder:

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins

Chú ý: Nếu không có Plugins folder thì bạn cứ việc tạo ra nhé.

Cài đặt cho chính Account (tài khoản) chính bạn
Nếu bạn không có quyền administrator, cách trên không được. Không sao, Bạn mở Windows Explorer và gõ:

%APPDATA%\Mozilla

Tạo Plugins folder (nếu chưa có)

Copy 2 file đã nói phí trên vào Plugins folder.

Khởi động lại trình duyệt Firefox.

Kiểm tra việc cài đặt
Để chắc rằng flash player có load đúng véion không. Tại thanh địa chỉ (address bar) bạn gõ about:plugins

Nếu hiện lên version flash player mới nhất là ok.

Chúc bạn thành công!

Flockness

Flock is a totally cool new browser, aimed for the socio junkies who do a lot of facebooking, digging, twitters and many such internet derived verbs[online jargons].It’s got a good interface with the sidebar linking the ,major  social networks and the mediabar with the feeds at the top, and a much easier access to a lot of other services at the My World homepage. And even better is that it’s a fork of firefox, so you are guaranteed of the security that the firefox offers in flock too. Most of the addons would also be compatible with flock so you wouldn’t be missing those adblockplus, noscript and many such addons. However the one thing flock lacks is its support for orkut, which i hope could be included in near future. Well much said than done, why not give it a try and experience some of the Web 2.0 experience with flock. [:)]

Installing flock in ubuntu :

The .deb for the flock-browser can be got from getdeb.com, which would to pretty much all the installing stuff, but if  you download the tar.gz package from the flock website, you might wanna do certain extra things to get the flock up and running.

1) Extract the flock archive in your desired folder.

2)To open the flock browser you have to click on the flock-browser and ‘Run in terminal’.

3)It would be a pain in the ass to navigate to the folder and click on it. So, create a link to the flock-browser and paste it on the desktop if you want easy access. However if you want to run flock-browser from the terminal as a predefined command you got to get some root privileges and paste the link to ‘/usr/bin/ ‘.

4)The next step is to go to the  ‘ /usr/lib/firefox/plugins ‘ and copy the flashplugin-alternative.so and paste it onto the plugins folder of at the place where flock was extracted.

5)Run the flock-browser and you will get a welcome screen showing you the features of Flock-browser. Enjoy [:D]
