Could you please rerun nspluginwrapper -v -a -i? Is there anything in

I ran into the same problem. Tried for two days to get flash working on

now all works fine. seems nspluginwrapper -v -a -i is not populating

No package for linux-f10-flashplugin-11 9.0-RELEASE, source code unavailable

[Brett]

Hi,

Has Adobe possibly pulled permission for this to be distributed?

=> Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this

There is no package on the servers if I try to install this with pkg_add, 
either. Could the distfile or package be available somewhere else?

Thanks,
Brett.

Did you check the info at:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.html

In particular, I ran into a problem with creating the link. I received
an error message stating the link existed; however, even if it did it
was not working correctly. I corrected it with this:

ln -s -F /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so 
/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/

I then ran: "nspluginwrapper -v -a -i" and all is well, or at least as
well as can be expected with Flash and FreeBSD. Not exactly a marriage
made in heaven.

Good luck, you'll need it.

Yes, it is a bit of a PITA isn't it. I wish flashplayer could be replaced be 
something better that works on UNIX and all platforms for that matter. Maybe 
HTML 5 will enable people to do without this crap.

This isn't a matter of replacing it, it is a matter of making it work.
It works fine on Windows and Ubuntu and from what I have been told,
most other flavors of Linux. Therefore it doesn't take a frigging
Einstein to deduce where the problem lies. Of course, it is always
easier to blame the other guy.

FreeBSD Port: pear-Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer-0.9.2

[Miroslav Lachman]

The port has version 0.9.2 and 0.9.3 
 was 
released on 2012-01-26


http://pear.php.net/package/Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer

Can the port be updated to 0.9.3 or is there any known problem with this 
newer version? Should I write a patch and send PR or are you able to do it?

Re: CFT: x11/nvidia-driver major update to 304.xx series

[Lawrence K. Chen, P.Eng.]

I realized there was one other difference between my home and work machine.  At 
home I had used "WITH_NEW_XORG=YES" (and "WITH_KMS=YES") before I ended up 
buying an nvidia card to finally get things working.

So, I tried the same at worktook a while to rebuild recursive (partly 
because at one point started an upward-recursive) but now things are 
working again with 304.51.
