Browser plugin does not work

It seems that the squeakland debian packages works on ubuntu. You may want to have a look at this.

I can confirm that this plugin does not work. It is a pity that it is so confusing how to use and install squeak. The Ubuntu install instructions on squeakland.org does not work either :(

was maybe working in dapper but for edgy can't get the plugin to work either

Is this happening in Feisty or Gutsy too?

I'm running a Feisty. After installing squeak, the plugin is not put into the Firefox directory. Only in mozilla/plugins.

The plugin is not listed under about:plugins in Firefox.

So I did:

$ cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
$ sudo ln -s ../../mozilla/plugins/npsqueak.so

Then, the plugin is listed in about:plugins.

But when I try to go to a web page with a squeak project, it fails. I tried http://ftp.squeak.org/2.8/BrowserPlugins/test/plugintest.sts and the terminal said:

$ firefox
Squeak Plugin: Image file not found: SqueakPlugin.image
Squeak Plugin: no failure URL:

Squeak Plugin: no failure URL:
Squeak Plugin: running "/usr/lib/squeak/npsqueakrun"
Squeak execv() failed: Bad address
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I'm running Gutsy

$ cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
$ sudo ln -s ../../mozilla/plugins/npsqueak.so

works!

It doesn't work for me :-(

I tried to create the symbolic link as suggested above but the plugin is still not found under about:plugins.
Then dpkg -S /usr/lib/squeak/3.7-7/npsqueak.so shows that its in the squeak-vm package,
and dpkg -L squeak-vm shows that shows that there is a script
/usr/lib/squeak/npsqueakregister I ran it and it just created yet another link:
>> create symbolic link `/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/npsqueak.so' to `/usr/lib/squeak/3.7-7/npsqueak.so
which I suppose already existed when I installed squeak-vm.

Google found this post:
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/beginners/2007-April/002295.html
From here there is a link: http://www.impara.de/~jens/ubuntu/
but it no longer exists. I tried the wayback machine to retrieve an old copy:
http://www.archive.org/index.php but I guess it only archives text pages.

I am running edubuntu 7.10 and firefox 2.0.0.6

Jens Lincke points me to the new url's for the working debian packages:
http://quatur.net/~jens/impara/ubuntu/squeakland_3.8-6u_all.deb
http://quatur.net/~jens/impara/ubuntu/squeak-vm_3.9.8-6_i386.deb
And now it works for me. Many thanks, Jens!
