Square: Native support for 64-bit Flash

On 15 September, in a blog Adobe announced the availability of Flash Player Square: A preliminary version of Flash Player, which offers as most interesting feature native support for 64-bit architectures.

can find more information about their features, and links to download the Adobe website.

Since the installation instructions for Linux are rather terse, published the following instructions for those wishing to install the player on computers with Ubuntu.

Flash Player Installation "Square" in Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64


If we look at the system files on your Ubuntu looking for the location of the flash player, you will see references to it in multiple sites. Also we note that the installation was done with the system alternatives, which we will benefit by installing the version of "square" without removing the stable we have alcualmente. This is precisely the objective of the system alternatives: allowing coexist alternatives that offer the same service.

In the file system, we can observe the following entries relating to Flash Player (We're talking about a distribution system with a 64-bit ):

First, the library containing 32-bit version of the player :
/ usr / lib / flashplugin-installer / libflashplayer.so

In addition, an entry to run the player via a wrapper (wrapper) that allows the execution 32-bit code in 64-bit environments:
/ var / lib / flashplugin-installer / npwrapper.libflashplayer.so

Finally, tickets for various applications that may require the flash player:
/ usr / lib / iceape / plugins / flashplugin-alternative.so
/ usr / lib / iceweasel / plugins / flashplugin-alternative.so
/ usr / lib / firefox / plugins / flashplugin-alternative.so
/ usr / lib / midbrowser / plugins / flashplugin-alternative.so
/ usr / lib / mozilla / plugins / flashplugin-alternative.so
/ usr / lib / xulrunner-addons / plugins / flashplugin-alternative.so
/ usr / lib / xulrunner / plugins / flashplugin-alternative.so

Looking at these entries, we see that there are more than symbolic links to the directory that stores the configuration utility alternatives:

/ etc / alternatives / iceape-flashplugin
/ etc / alternatives / iceweasel-flashplugin
/ etc / alternatives / firefox-flashplugin
/ etc / alternatives / midbrowser-flashplugin
/ etc / alternatives / mozilla-flashplugin
/ etc / alternatives / xulrunner-addons-flashplugin
/ etc / alternatives / xulrunner-flashplugin turn

All these entries are symbolic links to a single point: The library set to be executed through the wrapper we mentioned above:

/ var / lib / flashplugin-installer / npwrapper.libflashplayer.so

What we do is to respect all this setup and add as a new alternative version square. This avoids the need to uninstall the version you currently have. Also allow that if problems occur or become unstable, we can easily go back and continue watching the system and update the stable version.

Installation:

We go to the page listed above and download the 64-bit version for Linux :

create an installation directory (With a name and location consistent with the stable version) to make it in this new version:

 
 sudo mkdir / usr / lib / flashplugin-square 
 cd / usr / lib / flashplugin-square 
 sudo tar-xzf ~ / 
 Descargas/flashplayer_square_p1_64bit_linux_091510.tar.gz 

Then install alternatives for those programs we want to use the new player. comment that Firefox (at least version 3.6.x) does not use the input firefox, mozilla but entry. That is, if you only want to do the tests in Firefox, simply run the following command:

 sudo update-alternatives - Install / usr / lib / mozilla / plugins / flashplugin-alternative.so mozilla-flashplugin / usr / lib / flashplugin-square / libflashplayer.so 60 

If we restart the browser, you will see that we have a 64-bit version (in particular, is version 10.2.161.22), which runs without any wrapper.

Anytime we can switch between the two versions with the following command:

 sudo update-alternatives - config mozilla-flashplugin 

And finally, if we perform the same operation with any other product that can make use flash player, just repeat these operations for the product in question:

  
 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/iceape/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so iceape-flashplugin /usr/lib/flashplugin-square/libflashplayer.so 60 
 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so iceweasel-flashplugin /usr/lib/flashplugin-square/libflashplayer.so 60 
 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so firefox-flashplugin /usr/lib/flashplugin-square/libflashplayer.so 60 
 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/midbrowser/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so midbrowser-flashplugin /usr/lib/flashplugin-square/libflashplayer.so 60 
 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so xulrunner-addons-flashplugin / usr / lib / flashplugin-square / 60 
 libflashplayer.so sudo update-alternatives - install / usr / lib / xulrunner / plugins / flashplugin-alternative.so-flashplugin xulrunner / usr/lib/flashplugin- square / libflashplayer.so 60 
 

After doing a few tests results are excellent: The player is extremely stable and everything seems to work properly.

For those who want to try it, leave a link to an interesting site that can serve as a test (as indicated FPS rate and RAM used).

Android: Meter

Barely a few hours, I've posted my first application developed for Android. Android certainly needs no introduction to readers who end up reading this blog. The famous Google operating system for mobile phones, free, open source and Linux is based on giving a lot of talk on blogs and websites on technology topics.

few months ago, I downloaded the tool kit for developers interested in creating applications for Android (or just make some tests). After some initial tests, as the traditional "Hello World" or copied and modified examples from tutorials, I've been slowly feeling a heightened interest in this environment, and the possibilities it offers, both Android itself as smartphones or high-end phones that little by little they are looking increasingly to a personal computer in terms of features and possibilities.



The first fruit of hours spent, is an application that shows the orientation of your reading based on data provided by the acceleration sensor. From these data, we can obtain the slope (both frontal and side) thereof. The plot thickens a bit to add a calibration option (set to zero). This has forced me to review questions of algebra and geometry that took me some time into oblivion.

Although the main objective is to use your phone as a flag in 4x4 vehicles can be used in any context that requires measures of angles.



As commentary, so I've learned to look for references on these instruments, it seems that were popularized in the mid 80's by the house 4x4 Toyota. For those
concerned, the application is available on Android Market and can be easily accessed through its QR code :



Update (09/16/2010) :
leave some links to sites in which shows the programs available in the Android Market, with reference being made to this application: AppBrain , AndroLib , AndroidPIT , AndroidZoom and even PCWorld.

Update (10/08/2010) :
Recently the application has been updated to version 1.0.1. The update includes translations into several languages, plus support for Android 1.5 (version 1.0.0 Android required at least 1.6). In fact, the picture you can see the application running on a terminal DSTL1 GeneralMobile Android 1.5.
