In order to login to the BuzzWord beta from a Linux machine, you'll need to use the user-agent switcher extension, and set your user agent to something like
Mozilla/5.0 (windows; U; windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050821 firefox/1.5
All the buttons I pressed seemed to work fine, though obviously it's even less supported than BuzzWord is normally.
If you install the (debug) Flash player from the Flex 3 beta (flex-sdk-3-beta-1/runtimes/player/lnx/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz:/libflashplayer.so)
then you now get a print dialogue before the print actually happens !
Hurrah !
Didn't see that in the release notes, so it's a pleasant surprise. You still can't choose landscape (or not) modes though - it would be possible to set up two separate CUPS printers to get around that though.
Hurrah ! According to this post by Matt Chotin (a principal Flex engineer at Adobe), a full-blown debug version of the Flash player will arrive for Linux at some point.
Well, check with the next build [of the player],
it could be that the beta we put out had real problems.
Does this mean we can expect a 2nd beta of the linux plugin I wonder ?
One that maybe fixes the SIGSEGV crash during shutdown
(
#7 0xf5f3825e in NP_Shutdown ()
from /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so
#8 0xf6da0df2 in XtAppProcessEvent () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6
) ?
I can't tell if this just because it's a 32-bit plugin in a 32-bit browser on
an otherwise 64-bit O/S or not, but it does occur on all three (2xSuSE 10.0 and one SuSE 10.1) boxes we tried. I've submitted it as a bug report too, but they are not publicly searchable and this is :-)
As things happen and I discover or fix things, I'll update things. For those of you reading on LJ, check the main site for updates.
