Details:

I have lubuntu 12.04 ppc build on an iBook g4 with 512MB RAM and 1.42GHz cpu.


I have Gnash (0.8.10-5ubuntu1) installed including the browser plugin package
(0.8.10-5ubuntu1 ;from Ubuntu package manager). I have checked for a lot of
different sources of errors, but it will not play in browser. Both Firefox 11
and 14.0.1 have been tested (Ubuntu ppc). 

Gnash player will not appear embedded in browser, meaning I just get a black
space where video and player should be. I have had expert help on irc #gnash
channel, but problem could not be sorted out, nor source of error. Gnash will
play fine as stand-alone player with test videos from youtube. For some reason
Gnash Player does show and play in Midori, though a bit jerkily. (Midori has
issues with crashing).  

All points to broken browser plugin package for powerpc.
