Howto Install 32 bit Firefox with Flash w/sound and Java for AMD64

[KAding]

Hello,

First let me thank you for the great job on the script and How-to. However, I'm having some issues getting Flash to work on edgy 64-bit. I installed firefox32 without any problems. It is working great, so is the java plugin.

But Flash will always crash the browser. It doesn't matter which version I use, 7 or the beta 9. I removed any trace of firefox from the system and completely reinstalled it. I made sure there were no double libflash.so files anywhere.

If I run firefox32 in a console and go to any website containing flash I just get the following error:

Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.
The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 86 error_code 8 request_code 146 minor_code 3)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I really have no idea what could be wrong . I must say I haven't been able to get the stand-alone Flash 9 player to run either. It does not crash, but simply shows nothing .

Internet without Flash is kinda difficult in this day and age. Anyone have any ideas?

I still have a problem with java - firefox crashes everytime i want go to page with some simple java applet. I've been trying find the answer here but it isn't easy due to numberr of pages...

Did you manulay install or did you use the script?

Did you install with the manual howto or use the setup script?

I'm getting the same error as KADing on the Flash plugin (v9 beta). I used your script to install it on Edgy. Whenever Firefox32 loads a flash site, the flash plugin crashes with Firefox32. :[

I have everything working except acroread. It crashes the browser every time. The app itself runs fine when not being called from the browser. Any ideas?

I even have Flash 9 working perfectly and I can view the nikeair site. Very cool.

firstly I used base-plugins-browsers-0-5.tar.gz, everything was ok till mplayer-plugin installing, but it's not important for me.
i tried to visit page with java applet and.. it crashed.
so i installed java using:

cd ~/Desktop
sudo bash
chmod 777 ./jre-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin
./jre-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin

mkdir /usr/local/java32
cp -r -p ./jre1.5.0_07/* /usr/local/java32
cd /usr/lib32/firefox32/plugins/
ln -s /usr/local/java32/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ./

 sudo chown -R <username>:users /home/<username>/.java

but firefox still crashes

I'm having the exact same problem as KAding in edgy; the browser just crashes whenever trying to display anything using flash. I installed manually, first using Flash 7 and then Flash 9. Both give the exact same error:

(firefox-bin:7013): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.

(firefox-bin:7013): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.
The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 83 error_code 8 request_code 143 minor_code 3)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Could it have something to do with the C library warning above? If so, what would I do to fix this?

It appears that those that do the manual install are having problems. Run the install script and see if the problems go away.
