Hey,
I'm trying to get Epaati to work in the browser, on the XO eventually, and I'm running into two problems:
- In ff3 beta 5 on Linux (Ubuntu 8.04) I can't seem to get ff to recognise the squeak plugin. Has anybody got experience with ff3 and the plugin, good or bad? My setup mirrors the requirements for a ff2 plugin configuration. When running npsqueakrun squeak will launch a session. I tested both the npsqueak.so from a pretty new sugar-jbuild as well as a version which works with ff2 (I know there were problems with the standard squeak plugin from squeakland not registering with ff properly (which last time I checked (about 3 weeks/a month ago) still was the plugin available for download. Should perhaps be updated?)).
- In ff2 I can load our activities from a server, but only if the .pr file isn't to big. If it is of moderate size or more, I'm getting space-low warnings followed by a crash on project load. Would anybody happen to know why this is happening? Is there perhaps some memory variable that's easily adjustable?
Thanks, /Ties
To answer my own questions, first of all, running the squeak installer puts the plugin in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, which doesn't get picked up, on my setup in any case. putting the plugin in tilde/.mozilla/plugins does register with ff3. As for the space low message, this is fixed by adjusting (taking away) the -mmap startup option in npsqueakrun.

Does Ubuntu have a designated location for browser plugins?

The convention is to put files like plugins in /usr/lib/<app>/plugins/. But that is just that - a convention and that can change with time and across distros. 64-bit systems use /usr/lib64/<app>/plugins. Upstream installers like npsqueakregister should take in a list of paths for placing links to squeak plugin. This allows distro packagers or sysadmins to override them (with say /opt/<app>/plugins) without having to patch scripts.
I can make a patch for npsqueakregister if there is any interest.
If no path list is given, globbing /usr/{local/lib,lib}/{firefox,mozilla,netscape}/plugins is a safe bet.

Did I ever answer this? Sure, send the patch.

fyi, on Gentoo the plugins dir is /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins :)

As I understand ff2 plugins should go into /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ and ff3 plugins should go into /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins.
