Zekr - Audio support on Ubuntu x64

[Shoaib Nawaz]

السلام علیکم ورحمۃ اللہ

I am using Ubuntu 9.10 x64 on my VAIO. I installed Zekr from ppa
repositories and rest of features are working correctly except the
audio feature. I tried to launch zekr from command line and it printed
the following message:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/adobe-
flashplugin/libflashplayer.so [/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/
libflashplayer.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32]

As flash plugin is not natively supported for 64 bits. I followed a
guide to install a compatibility layer (ia32libs) to support 32 bits
packages on 64 bits system.

How can it be fixed?

I don't know about Ubuntu but flash is available natively for Linux x86_64
now. I have it installed in my distribution and It's working with
Zekr without issues. Zekr will not need flash in its next version
anyway.

Yes I found the solution. Later I came to know about 64bits pre-release of adobe flash plugin. I downloaded it and replaced libflashplayer.so at /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/

The existing file information was:

libflashplayer-32.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped

And the information of newer (x64) one:

libflashplayer-64.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped

And now the Zerk started to work fine along with other applications.

Thanks

Salaam Shoaib,

Zekr's audio feature works on a 64bit machine running Ubuntu 9.10. No need to change anything by hand.
The only thing you should do is to install flashplugin-nonfree from Ubuntu's repositories:
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

Best,
Mohammad
