Flash Player does not work motifwrapper X Error

Flash Player does not work motifwrapper X Error

I use a gentoo system. installed opera 8.02 ( because 8.50 make "problems" playing a sequence)
i installed mozplugger for embedded movie
-------------
when i started playing movie , all works fine .
( openmotif installed , operamotifwrapper-1 , -2 and -3 are "present" ) libXm.so2 libXm.so3 installed.(softlinks to libXm.so.2.1 and libXm.so.3.0.2)
the "missing" libXm.so1 i made a softlink to existing libXm.so.2.1
all works without any errormessage , runs really fine !!

now i wanted to install flash. i did as suggested on opera website. i have libflashplayer.so and libflashplayer.xo
( i installed as user) in my /home/user/.opera/plugins/
and activated this in "plugins path" of opera
opera plugins page told me
appilcation/x-shockware-flash : swf
application/futursplash : spl

in plugin`s : Shockware Flash 7.0 r61


all seems "fine" .

when i watch flash site (macromedia test flash site) (reloading)
i have first a gray area , then this (flash area ) turns black.

i my command line window where i started opera (as user or as root) i see errormessages
motivwrapper: X Error: serial=0x114b, request=0x9, request_minor=0x3 resource=0x240006d.
this message apperas about 3-4 times. (did not count it)

every time i press "refresh button" in opera same message appers new ( about 3-4 times) with "higher hexvalues"...


what is the reason ?
missing libXm.so.1( i soflinked it to libXm.so.2.1 ??? -> where can i get it ?

i tried new/reinstall lesstiff , did not help, several times openmotif , opera 7.54 -08-8.02 - 8.50
flashplugin ... now i am at "end of my ideas"
no success


p.s. mozilla firefox , same testpage -> plugin not installed , then at end of all trying i "clicked on button, downloading plugin.
then at this moment i clicked "ok, successfully installed" mozilla crashed ( and every time i call a flash plugin page !!)
so .. error should be "missing lib " ?????

anyone who send me the lib file ? ( for gentoo)

Try unlinking libXm.so.1 and libXm.so.2.1.
You really should be fine with having libXm.so.2.1 and libXm.so.3.0.2, actually only one of them is necessary to get things running. At startup Opera checks whether operamotifwrapper, operamotifwrapper-1, ..-2 and ..-3 are present and functional, in this order. operamotifwrapper-1 is linked against libXm.so.1, operamotifwrapper-2 against libXm.so.2, operamotifwrapper-3 against libXm.so.3. Linking libXm.so.1 to libXm.so.2.1 will cause a attempt to use operamotifwrapper-1, which tries to use libXm.so.1 -> libXm.so.2.1. This can't work, AFAIK.

It's safe to ignore Opera's complaints about non-functional operamotifwrapper-[123], as long as it finds another one which is functional.
If you want to get rid of those error messages, create a symlink operamotifwrapper -> operamotifwrapper-2 or ..-3, whatever fits better.

i checked my system for existing libXm*
found in
/opt/blackdown-jre ... /libXm.so.3
/opt/blackdown-jdk ... /libXm.so.3 filesize 2.146.496
/usr/lib/lesstif/libXm.so.2 (link)
/usr/lib/lesstif/libXm.so.2.0.1 size 1.234136 9.November
/usr/lib/lesstif/libXm.so (link)
/usr/lib/libXm.so.3.0.2 size 2.200.012 9. November
/usr/lib/libXm.so.2.1 size 1916210 8.Januar 2001
and my symlinks in usr/lib

now i removed all my symlinks. behavior keeps same .
then i deacivated java in opera .. behavior keeps same
then i renamed the 2 libXm.so.3 in java dir`s /opt/blackdown...
now opera stopps displaying all plugins.
... status "zero" reached ;-)

then i symlinked in /usr/lib ln -s libXm.so.2.1 libXm.so.2
same behavior ..
i tried symlinking libXm.so.2 and then libXm.so.3
with all existing versions ...

result was : some "combinations" did not work
some "combinations" work, but with same effect:
plugin woks well ,except Flash

now i deinstalled lesstif
and symlink`d only
libXm.so3 -> libXm.so.3.0.2
in /usr/lib ... , and let java deactivated...
result: same errors, flash player does NOT work , other plugins do .

btw. sorry, the posted errormessage in not quite right:
2 different errors: ( since i installed flash plugin)
when i call a html with picture in it ( no plugin needed:-) the
X Error: Bad Window (invalid window parameter)
appears
when i call a html with embedded movie :
no fault !! ( i am so happy about this!)
when i call a flash embedded page:
as long a flash "plays" , these 2 error lines appears: (always repating, growing more and more lines ...)
(counting hex code of serial in each error message up, as long as flash "plays" ( i dont see flash )
when flash is ready playing , and it still stays on screen (always black) the appereance of
"new" errorlines stops ...
the lines : (as i posted)

motifwrapper: Bad Match (invalid parameter attributes
motivwrapper: X Error: serial 0x1f3, request 0x93, bla bla ...


wenn i rename the 2 files in /home/.opera/plugins/
libflashplayer.so (856 byte)
and flashplayer.xpt ( 2096844 byte)

flash page keeps "white" ( no plugin there ... ;-) )
but no error occurs , no by a picture nor by a movie ...

so where is my "fault" ???

856 bytes? Did you swap the file sizes there? It should be 2 MB.

These should not be related to your issue, I've seen almost all graphical apps producing these errors, simply forget about them.

Apparently Opera tries to use those instead of the ones in /usr/lib, which is a bit suspicious. I would suggest a more systematic approach now, first I want to simplify things a bit:
Re-rename the libXm files in /opt/blackdown* to their original names
Remove everything from Opera's generic plugin folder (usually /usr/lib/opera/plugins/) except for
libnpp.so
operamotifwrapper-*
operaplugincleaner
Run ldconfig
Run "ldd /usr/lib/opera/plugins/operamotifwrapper-*" - What's the output?
Start Opera with "opera -personaldir /tmp/operatest"
Set the plugin path to contain only the generic plugin folder
Close Opera
Start Opera once more, this time with "opera -personaldir /tmp/operatest -debugplugin" - What's the output ?

@ squnhouse : sorry , i crossed the two values ...
flashplayer.xpt is 856 byte ; libflashplayer.so is 2096844 byte .

@ SoeDib : ok. i "did" as you wrote .
--------

when i run ldconfig output is:
ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libMesaGL.so is empty, not checked
-> is a symlink to /etc/opengl/libMesaGL.so who has 0 bytes !

wenn i alt. run ldconfig -v ( i looked in man ldconfig) i get huge output.
i made a
ldconfig -v > /tmp/ldconfig.log i attach in next reply ( this is quick reply)
in addition following messages occured:

ldconfig -v > /tmp/ldconfig.log

NOW it should be there ;-) sorry

Ok, everything seems to be in the right place. Now re-enable the flash plugin by creating /tmp/operatest/plugins and copying or symlinking flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so into it. Start Opera again with "opera -personaldir /tmp/operatest -debugplugin". What's the output? Does Flash work now?

prior i had to activate in plugins path /temp/operatest/plugins
then i started opera as you told me.
output was:

opera [plugin probing ] /usr/lib/opera/plugins/libnpp.so
opera [plugin probing] /tmp/operatest/plugins/libflashplayer.so


when i open macromedia test flash page:
output was:

/usr/lib/opera/plugins/operamotifwrapper-1: error while loading shared libraries
: libXm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

then as before error appeares ( 20-30 lines always the 2 lines ) and flash keeps "black"
motivwrapper: X Errror: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
motifwrapper: X Error: serial=0x127, request=0x93, request_minor=0x3, resource=0x0
... repeated ...

Doesn't work. OK.

BTW: You don't get any messages about searching for operamotifwrapper like this ?

libnpp: Succeeded in starting operamotifwrapper.  Most likely there are some error messages above this line about missing various libXm.so files.  Those error messages can be ignored

(I have a customized install of O9, which is the explanation for that strange path /usr/share/oper9a1/bla. The last two lines get added when I access a page with an embedded flash, like http://www.macromedia.com)

With your current setup, Opera should use operamotifwrapper-2, due to search order. Now lets force Opera to use operamotifwrapper-3, first close Opera:

su -
[Password]
cd /usr/lib/opera/plugins
ln -s operamotifwrapper-3 operamotifwrapper
logout
opera -personaldir /tmp/operatest -debugplugin

What are the results?

no, only the messages i postet.


ecact the same result.
does not work, errormessages .

sorry that i have no "better answer" ...

Why are things so difficult!

I use Gentoo and have no problems.

I've never had to play games with soft links for the libXm.so{1,2,3} files.

I'm a little surprised you have a version of libXm.so in /opt/blackdown-{jre,jdk}, but I can't really comment since I have sun-jdk-1.4.2.09 on my system and it doesn't come w/ libXm.so.

It appears you installed Opera via the install.sh script, not a problem. I use the script too (./install.sh --prefix=/usr/local), as opposed to emerging opera.

The issue w/ firefox and flash: I suspect you didn't emerge netscape-flash, which places libflashplayer.(so,xpt) in a 'well known' location for firefox. If you cp the .so and .xpt files into ~/.mozilla/plugins/, then remove ~/.mozilla/pluginreg.dat, and start firefox, flash 'should' work.

Sorry, then I'm also at the end of my knowledge. I suspect a "flaw" in your qt/motif/X setups, but can't tell what kind of pitfalls Gentoo's emerge mechanism offers. You can still hope that rwf stumbles over this thread, he (or she) is quite knowledgeable and uses also Gentoo, and could possibly tell what else to check or try.

Edit: Happened already.

This is my output.

The 'X Error: ...' crap appeared when I closed the www.macromedia.com page -- doesn't mean anything. Oh flash worked on my system.

Edit: My system is pretty much a stock x86 system i.e. I use ~x86 for only a few packages.

Interesting. The version of flash that works on my system is 7.0.r25. Just where did you get the 7.0 r61 version? From the macromedia site?

Gentoo lists (/usr/portage/net-www/netscape-flash/) 6.0.79, 6.0.81 & 7.0.25 i.e. no 7.0.61???

i did so much , hard to remember ;-)
www.opera.com -> search "´pluigin flash" .. result -> link to download marcomedia.com.
there i downloaded .

btw my problem with flash:
i took a "spare" (new) hdd . from my OS i used, yesterday evening there was a new version
to try ...
i downloaded it, opera this time "preinstalled" (8,50) ,
did the same as last time, ( download flash plugin ) and ... flash works now .
don`t ask me why !!
this time flash plugin was my "first workaround" .. maybe this is the reason ?

at the moment i install mozplugger , (mplayer runs yet) ..when plugin works too -as
before- , then it is solved .. if not , i`tell you.
at the moment:
thanks a lot up to now for your help.
linux is sometimes (dependencies) "mystic" ;-)

ok , now it`s "solved" ...
puh ...
i reinstalled as told this morning my system.
for installing mozplugger ( with emerge ) it longs almost 3 hours
(dependencies) [netscape and so on]

now
playing movie and flash work ..

yeah !! !
only
some errors appear .. i`ll make a new thread because the subject is wrong
Error: ld.so object 'libjvm.so ...
Error: ld.so object libawt.so


once more :
many thanks for helping me ...

Most strange i.e. Macromedia version.

The other day I checked www.macromedia.com and clicked on the Download Flash Player link. It offered to download 7.0.r25.

Today I checked www.macromedia.com and clicked on the Download Flash Player link and now it offers 7.0.r61. Hmmmm?

I downloaded the 7.0.r61 version and pointed Opera at the r61 libflashplayer.so file. No problems w/ flash.

I assume this is the Opera link you followed: http://www.opera.com/linux/docs/plugins/install/index.dml#flash

For my part, I solved the problem installing libmotif3 : http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libs/libmotif3
but opera 8.5 became much more unstable, it crashed already 3 times since yesterday.

Fortunately, opera has a good session system.

What about the date of the next release ?
