Talk:Gnash

wiki edit

I removed this section from the wiki: "For example, a developer might choose an open codec such as Vorbis or Theora. Streaming these format in full screen would be as simple as a five line Gnash script." because Adobe Flash does not support the Ogg Vorbis or Ogg Theora codecs in the first place so should you succeed in creating an SWF with Ogg Vorbis audio, it wouldn't be a proper .SWF -- you'd just be creating a Flash SWF incompatible file. -Object404 14:09, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Uninstalling Gnash

Does anyone know how uninstall Gnash? I was able to install Adobe Flash, but the gnash player loads on the same page of the browser as well.

this is a sign of not installing the Adobe version properly. You don't need to do anything to Gnash itself. --Sj talk

I am in the same boat - I got Adobe to install easily enought, but the Xo still sees Gnash first. How to resolve? PF

I am having the same problem. I type all the commands, but it says access denied or file not found.

see above, and see the FAQ about this (also answered on the Adobe Flash page). --Sj talk

• After uninstalling Gnash and then installing Flash, I later wanted to switch back to Gnash for flash dev testing. After uninstalling Flash and reinstalling Gnash via yum, the Gnash plugin wouldn't run in either Browse Activity or Opera. Using build Update.1 711. -Object404 14:37, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

More Gnash/Adobe Flash cohabitation problems.

Mikus Grinbergs on the devel list pointed out: After I installed the Adobe flash player, there was an appreciable lag in the system's response to my CLI commands. Looked with 'top', and found 'gtk-gnash' was using up to 70% of my CPU cycles. Killed 'gtk-gnash' and my system is back to normal.

This was on a G1G1 laptop, and is not known if it is reproducible. CharlesMerriam 01:40, 25 March 2008 (EDT)
