Flash 9 (WINE) on FreeBSD, finally
A couple of days ago, I attempted to view some photos on Google StreetView but I realised they use Flash instead of SVG like Google Maps. Frustrated, then I came up with the idea of running Opera portable version with Wine.
I was using Opera portable exclusively when I hadnt migrated to the BSD world. Its a complete package; it contains mail, personal settings...and plugins. So I thought, sounds very "Wine friendly" and why dont I give it a try. Unfortunately, its very slow on Google StreetView (I guess because there are too many Flash "actions" and it slows down the Wine rendering), but for videos, it works! Experiences videos with Flash 9: - No audio sync issue. - Minor lagging (but I do experience the lag on Flash 7, so pretty sure its because of my 1.2Ghz Pen M cpu. It would be very smooth on powerful CPUs). - No freezing problem, you will feel like running another browser. The wine processes take less than 50% cpu usage Code:
19953 gu 9 96 0 103M 65316K select 1:37 46.73% wine-pthread 29185 root 1 107 0 199M 34948K RUN 88:42 21.53% Xorg 41337 gu 1 105 0 250M 169M select 623:10 17.48% opera 19955 gu 1 4 0 4380K 2628K kqread 0:07 1.07% wineserver So the verdict is, its very usable. Ok, so here is the howto 0. Download Opera portable http://www.opera-usb.com/download.htm (The version I use is 9.27. If you downloaded 9.5 and it doesnt work, try the older one) 1. Install Wine, of course 2. Lauch Opera with wine Note: the file to run is Op.com, not operausb.exe %wine /opera/path/Op.com 3. Check plugin path by enter the following line into the address box: opera:config#UserPrefs|PluginPath Should be "program/plugins" dir 4. Copy the 2 Flash 9 files into the plugin directory: NPSWF32.dll flashplayer.xpt They can be extracted from another Windows machine or you can download here: http://asternix.org/misc/Flash9.zip 5. That is. Restart Opera and enjoy! Last edited by 18Googol2; 9th August 2008 at 06:54 AM. |

IMO, we need native Flash 9...

What is so special, new, and different about this? The Windows version of Firefox, IE6, and Opera have worked with Wine for a very long time ...
btw. This ``portable'' version of Opera (Whatever that may be) doesn't work ... All UI elements are black, I only see the webpage ... |

Same dang route that PC-BSD has taken.... But without the ease installer.
To bad the FreeBSD community lacks a man of Bill Gates wealth, that could pay for a native port!

Nice.
I want to keep my Opera settings and bookmarks. Will it be enough just to do: cp -r ~/.opera opera951en/profile How can I enable the scroll click to paste? Currently it tries to scroll the page (windows style). |

I just moved ~/.opera between BSDs, Mac OS X and Linux, so they are all very similar, I did not tried win <-> nix migration.

When migrating from Win to Unix (or vica versa) you'll need to edit some paths in opera6.ini, i.e.:
Code:
[~]% grep "\.opera" ~/.opera/opera6.ini phong:17:56 Windows Storage File=/home/carpetsmoker/.opera-devel/sessions/aaa.win Button Set=/home/carpetsmoker/.opera/skin/opera_9_classic_skin-2.zip Toolbar Configuration=/home/carpetsmoker/.opera/toolbar/standard_toolbar_2.ini User JavaScript File=/usr/home/carpetsmoker/.opera/userjs/ |

So the ONLY way to use the clipboard with Wine (and optionaly the rest of the system) is ctrl+c and ctrl+v?
|
|
||||
If you find other way then let me know
