When you say gnash-klash does works with webkit, is gnash-plugin installed or not? (If so, I'm guessing that qtwebkit is using gnash-plugin instead, and not gnash-klash at all) As far as I know, QtWebKit doesn't supports KParts at all, it always uses gnash-plugin. The fact that gnash-plugin doesn't work properly in Konqueror is also known, that's the main reason why there's -klash in the first place. I guess it should be fixable though, Konqueror does support Mozilla plugins in principle. As for Klash not working on YouTube, I think that's because it does not support sharing cookies with the browser, and as far as I know there's simply no interface for that in KParts. As a workaround, I can only suggest using the YouTube HTML 5 beta, that one mostly works in KHTML for me (I don't have Flash, Gnash, Klash or anything like that installed at all), though often I have to click several times on Play for it to actually play and it does not support seeking. Alternatives include Minitube and downloaders such as cclive or youtube-dl. ok, let's bounce this over to gnash (for now). (I'm testing if a quick-n-dirty rebuild against kde-4.8.x helps any) I doubt it. As far as I know, Klash has been broken on YouTube for ages. (In fact, that was exactly what got me to stop using Gnash/Klash: I stopped using and maintaining Gnash because Klash just didn't work anymore on many sites including YouTube. Most sites require a newer ActionScript VM, YouTube still supports the older one, but requires cookies, which don't work properly in Klash.) It's not something a simple rebuild can fix. guys, sorry, I got totally confused as for youtube, looking closer at it, it seems that it tries to use HTML5 by default - which works with WebKit and gives strange results with KHTML so I went to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and the results are: KHTML+klash (nothing) KHTML+plugin You have version 10,1,999,0 installed WebKit+klash (nothing) WebKit+plugin You have version 10,1,999,0 installed (note that I had installed only one of gnash-plugin and gnash-klash at the same time) so I'd suggest dropping gnash-klash completely as it doesn't work in any case, and to try to fix problems with gnash-plugin - which does NOT include problems with YouTube as flash doesn't seem to be in use any more; however these should be filed as KHTML HTML5 problems ... p.s. > Alternatives include Minitube and downloaders such as cclive or youtube-dl. not an alternative when you're setting up the system for your mother-in-law who doesn't care about all those patent and licensing and whatever issues, and just wants to browse the web with all those bells and whistles (In reply to comment #5) > > so I'd suggest dropping gnash-klash completely as it doesn't work in any case, > and to try to fix problems with gnash-plugin - which does NOT include problems > with YouTube as flash doesn't seem to be in use any more; however these should > be filed as KHTML HTML5 problems ... > If KDE SIG is OK with that, it is OK for me. ( less trouble for me :) ) I'm not sure what to do about this. On one hand, Klash is nice in theory, on the other hand, it's very buggy and seems basically unmaintained. :-( Have you talked to upstream about the issue(s)? This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. (In reply to Kevin Kofler from comment #7) > Have you talked to upstream about the issue(s)? no well ... is there _any_ demand for fixing klash? trying to open the test directly: http://www.adobe.com/swf/software/flash/about/flashAbout_info_small.swf I'm getting just empty window OTOH it works in qt4-gnash provided also by gnash-klash package ... I still think that it'd be better to just drop it I gave up on gnash ages ago (and also handed over the package to a new maintainer), and klash being totally broken was one of the reasons. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle. Changing version to '23'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora23 This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
