Arch Linux

The package as unpacked from the Ubuntu .deb results in an incorrectly-configured GNOME Menu entry within /usr/share/applications when installed. This leads to the menu entry not showing up in the GNOME Menu. Below is a patch that will fix this (and increment the package's revision number). I've tested the updated PKGBUILD and it fixes the issue.

New sum for amd64

033928a72a9ab402d40b1bf7fbc0fb48

x86_64 bit fails because of incorrect MD5sum.

New md5sum is 43420dce56b5d5e91c3f4a84f0615bb4

echo: You're probably right, since really it's just loading a flash file, and I have an 8 mbps DL speed, so if you have slow internet that could explain long loading times.

It could have taken a long time to load becuas your internet connection was slow. It has to download a lot.

0.9.4 out
fd0461fe4229ba51c8992bd3aebee665

That is a little weird, mine only takes about 5 seconds from launching it to it being fully loaded. Oh well, it's beta, don't expect it to be perfect.

nevermind, I just didn't wait long enough for it to load. (took 30 seconds which seemed like an awful long time to load)

all I get when I run it is a blank white window. I've already set the flash variable and get no complaints of any kind when it's launched. I can right-click on the contents of the window and I get the flash settings dialog. Flash works fine elsewhere.
flashplugin 10.0.32.18-1
x86_64
Any ideas?

@kilz: Yeah, I'd like to, the thing is since ~/.huludesktop is in your home folder, I don't think there's a way for pacman to install it (is there?).

@matthewbauer: That's already the md5sum, is something else messed up with my current PKGBUILD, or were you just using an old version of it?

I was able to get it installed on 32bit by changing the md5sum to:
md5sums=('b404e5ce16a2498a7f25e4d4c4b79acf')

Awesome! had to replace under flash location = (null) in the ~/.huludesktop file with /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Works like a charm!

Thanks!

Thanks for the package build. Just a suggestion, why not include the common path that flashplugin installs to in ~/.huludesktop, but leave the warning to edit just in case? I think the path is /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplugin.so or at least its one of the locations.

New version out, please update
