=====IMPORTANT=====
I’m in Ubuntu 11.10 with Firefox 11
I’ve been trying to install the Panda3d runtime, but it doesn’t work. I’ve followed the steps in the webpage, but nothing, even after restart my computer.
The page show the message:
After that, I’ve tested the Google Chrome browser, and it works !! so I think that the problem is with firefox.
Does anyone else have the same problem? What I need to do to fix it?
This problem is not really an emergency, since i have the plugin working on Chrome, but it would be nice to have it working on Firefox!
NOTE: I have a partition with windows with Firefox 11 too!, and it works fine there! so I have no clue about this problem
since this is the only way to install it; if I add the repositories synaptic gets a little crazy, and don’t let me install it. Taking in count that the plugin works just fine in Chrome, I suppose that the installation is correct
EDIT: I have to add, that I’ve installed the plugin using dpkg in the terminal, and nothing strange happened, the same with the ubuntu deb installer.
EDIT2: the version i have installed is: panda3d-runtime_1.0.4+cvs20120315~oneiric152_amd64.deb
Odd. You did try restarting Firefox after installing the plugin, right?
Hmm, perhaps somehow the plugin is installed to a directory where Firefox doesn’t look for plugins… can you find out which directory Firefox plugins are usually installed to on your system, by checking the paths of the other plugins in about:plugins?
but I can’t find anything panda3d-related in there neither.
I think that the problem should dissapear with the next ubuntu version (the 12.04), so meanwhile I can use Chrome for some web-embedded testing, since looks like nobody else have this problem. What do you think?
Anyway, it would be nice to solve this problem for future reference
stat /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/nppanda3d.so
stat /usr/lib64/mozilla-firefox/plugins/nppanda3d.so
stat /usr/lib64/xulrunner-addons/plugins/nppanda3d.so
Hmm, perhaps your version of FireFox is not looking in those locations… can you try copying nppanda3d.so to a location where you can find other plugins that are loaded correctly?
