Installing Connect Add-In (connectaddin) on Ubuntu 10.10
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 through Wubi on an HP laptop. When I run the system test, it prompts me to download the add-in. This doesn't work from the browser, but I did find this page: http://my.adobe.acrobat.com/common/help/en/support/downloads.htm
I see here that the Adobe Connect Add-In is available for Linux, and when I clicked the link it opened Ubuntu Software Center and tried to install. The install failed with the error message: "Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'" Using another installer (GDebi) has the same result.
What must I do to correctly install the connectaddin.deb on Ubuntu?
the config.sh wouldn't pick up my JAVA_HOME either. I opened up the script and found that all it did was call another script, so I ran that script myself with no problems.

Why do I have to install Connect Add-in each time I share desktop?
Each time I want to share my desktop I am prompted to install the connect add-in. It stays active while the browser is open, but when I close the browser and try again, I have to install it all over again. Often the install hangs, and I have to cancel and install a dozen times to get it to install. How do I install once and never again?
Add-in version:9,0,177,0
Player Version: WIN 10,0,22,87
IE7Usually Muse only uploads files which have changed.
A new version of Muse was released yesterday. If you're uploading your site for the first time with the new version, Muse will upload all files because some of the code generation has changed in the new version.
The next time you upload with the same version of Muse, only the changed files should be uploaded. -
Lack of true Ubuntu 64-bit support for Connect add-in
Dear Adobe,
This well-worn conversation seems to have been asked a few times before, and ignored a few times before, so you'll forgive me for re-opening it again.
I downloaded the 64-bit debian package of your Adobe Connect add-in yesterday from Adobe's website. Here it is sitting on my local disk:
$ ls ~/.shared/
total 540108
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 2012-05-31 15:00 ./
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2012-04-23 22:24 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 540016672 2012-05-27 00:03 temp.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4026194 2012-05-30 22:51 ConnectAddin64.deb
I then installed the package. However, when I tried to join my meeting, before the "Connecting..." screen appears with the progress bar, a blank white page flashed very briefly saying "Adobe Connect add-in not installed". Unsurprisingly, I wasn't able to join my meeting, and your online diagnostics site also confirmed that the add-in wasn't installed in my browser (Firefox 11).
Then, reading other users' tales of woe, I located and analysed the installed binary, and this is what I saw:
$ readelf -h /usr/local/connectaddin
ELF Header:
Magic: 7f 45 4c 46 01 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Class: ELF32
Data: 2's complement, little endian
Version: 1 (current)
OS/ABI: UNIX - System V

Size of section headers: 40 (bytes)

Section header string table index: 39
This is a 32-bit binary. There is absolutely no mistake about it. And even though it is a GTK binary, it fails to work on a 64-bit system with 32-bit dual support due to the fact it appears to have the search paths to its libraries hard-coded into it:
$ export GTK_PATH=/usr/lib32/gtk-2.0
$ ./connectaddin
(connectaddin:5416): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-ibus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
(connectaddin:5416): Gtk-WARNING **: Loading IM context type 'ibus' failed
You notice how GTK_PATH is ignored. The path in the above message is where the 32-bit binary would be sitting if I were on a 32-bit native system. However, as I'm on a 64-bit system, my 32-bit libraries are in:
$ ls /usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules

Will somebody please let us users know when Adobe will be (or won't be, for that matter) actually providing a true 64-bit linux version of their Adobe Connect add-in, instead of packaging the 32-bit version of the add-in in an archive that says 64-bit?
Thanks in advance,That is the last supported player for Linux using the NPAPI. Chrome's new API, PPAPI, is still going to be supported in Linux, Mac and PC OS's and will have the current version of Flash Player for all those OS's.
Here is Adobe's statement regarding Flash Player on Linux OS's.
Adobe wrote:
Linux:
Adobe has been working closely with Google to develop a single, modern API for hosting plug-ins within the browser. The PPAPI, code-named "Pepper", aims to provide a layer between the plug-in and browser that abstracts away differences between browser and operating system implementations. You can find more information on the Pepper API at http://code.google.com/p/ppapi/.
Because of this work, Adobe has been able to partner with Google in providing a "Pepper" implementation of Flash Player for all x86/64 platforms supported by the Google Chrome browser. Google will begin distributing this new Pepper-based Flash Player as part of Chrome on all platforms, including Linux, later this year.
For Flash Player releases after 11.2, the Flash Player browser plug-in for Linux will only be available via the "Pepper" API as part of the Google Chrome browser distribution and will no longer be available as a direct download from Adobe. Adobe will continue to provide security updates to non-Pepper distributions of Flash Player 11.2 on Linux for five years from its release.
Flash Player will continue to support browsers using non-"Pepper" plug-in APIs on platforms other than Linux.
Adobe will be providing a debug player implementation of the Flash Player browser plug-in on Linux, and will update this document once there are more details on how it will be distributed.
The full release can be seen here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplatform/whitepapers/roadmap.html -
DV Video lost when Connect add-in installed - HELP!
Hi,
We have this problem on hosted service Connect installation:
- video (from a mixer) is going through ADVC110 in DV to PC (Windows 7 64 bit)
- audio is going in audiocard in PC (because apparently we cannot use the audio in the DV stream???)
This is working ok
As soon as we need to use a PowerPoint the Adobe platform asks us to install the "Connect Add-in" or we will not have any audio it states
Having done this:
we lose the video from our ADVC 110....and the audio....
deinstalling the "Connect Add-in" gets us back to the beginning (video ok, audio ok), but then we cannot use a PPT Pod....
a) why can't we get audio from the DV stream
b) do we need the add-in
c) is still a know isssue
Please help us.
Tnx
MartinThanks again. I finally found the answer and it is working in Safari and Chrome
First I updated Flash Player to the latest version (not sure whether this was required)
Then I found that even though the add-in was installed that Connect was not using it, as all the browser tabs were still showing, and adjusting sound was crashing the program.
I deleted the add-in directory from ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/www.macromedia.com/bin/connectaddin
I deleted the add-in directory from ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/www.macromedia.com/bin/adobeconnectaddin
Then I restarted the meeting and created a new Pod and Selected 'Share my Screen'
This forced the add-in to download and install.
Adobe Connect now starts from the add-in and not the browser
Many thanks for your Help Sameer

Unable to Install Acrobat Connect Add-In
I'm trying to install the Add-in on one of my PCs so that I can share the screen. It asks me if I want to install the add-in but clicking on the Yes button (or the No button, for that matter) does nothing. I'm referring to the little pop-up dialog which says:
To use this application, you need the
Adobe Acrobat Connect Add-in. Would
you like to install it now?
At that point, those buttons are dead. I tried tabbing through the buttons to select the Yes button and then pressing Space but that has no effect either. Tabbing does work to highlight the buttons, the "?" and the overal dialog but once the Yes or No button is highlighted there seems to be no way to select any of the buttons.
I can right-click on the dialog and I get the
Settings
About Adobe Flash Player 10
menu. Settings is diabled but I can choose About which shows that I have FP 10.0.42.34 installed. Other than that, at this point, there's nothing I can do in the meeting room window except to exit.
This happens in both Firefox 3.6 and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. I've tried repeatedly, tried rebooting.
How can I get the add-in installed??
David SalahiHi David!
Maybe you could installing it by first downloading the installer manually and then running that locally. You can find the installer for version 7.5 here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/connect/updaters.html
Also make sure that you have sufficient privileges to be able to install software on your machine...

Unable to install adobe connect add-in --- And add-in not detected
In the Adobe Meeting connection test, it tells me that the add-in couldn't be installed on the harddrive, I should check the available HD again. So I installed the add-in manually and rebooted. This is not detected by the Meeting Connection test however... Any ideas? - Thanks in advance!

How do you install the "add-in" on adobe connect?
How do you install the "add-in" on adobe connect?
Either do so when prompted in the Meeting room if you join as a Presenter or Host, or when you attempt to share your screen, or from the test your computer page for Connect, or by downloading an running the executable file.

I am attending an on-line webinar 1-hour. Their site requires Adobe Connect Add-in. I have installed this, however their site it cannot find it. Please advise
The add-in should only be required if you are sharing your screen or uploading PPTX content.
Are you having trouble with the room loading? Can you explain/show the issue you are having? -

Adobe connect add-in install crashes
Dear all,
We want to deploy the Adobe connect add-in on all our computers but when I tried to install it on a test computer, to check if it works correctly, the setup crashes at the end saying that "the program wasn't installed correctly" like the following picture (sorry it's in french!):
If i use the "Reinstall using recommended settings" the install is done without any errors. However if I connect to a test meeting the plugin isn't detected:
By the way if we use the test connection page, the plugin is installed with success through the Flash download interface (step 4: http://na1cps.adobeconnect.com/common/help/en/support/meeting_test.htm)
For information here is our standard configuration:
- Windows 7 x64
- Internet explorer 8
- Flash player 11.3
Thanks in advance for your help!
RegardsThe add-in is version 11.2.385 from July 2013. I've tried uninstalling that version and reinstalling an add-in from this page (http://www.adobe.com/support/connect/downloads-updates.html) for Adobe Connect 8. That add-in at least allows me to launch my webcam, but it crashes 10-15 seconds later and Adobe Connect restarts.
With the new add-in (the first one I referred to), the entire Adobe Connect session shuts down when I click to "allow" Adobe Connect to use my webcam. It never starts it at all.
It's crashing with both internal and external cameras. It's more the clicking "allow" that crashes it, I think, because I've tried both. I prefer to use my internal camera on my new Asus laptop.
And WOW, it DOES work as it should when launching in browser. Thank you for that piece of advice. -
Adobe Connect 8, do you we still need to download and install the add-in
Hi,
In the new version of Adobe Connect 8 do you we still need to download and install the add-in on the PCs so that I can share the screen?
If so can you give me the URL?
Thank you
Will the old URL still work?
ChipYes, the Adobe Connect Add-In is for Hosts and Presenters always. However, even attendees may be required to install the Add-In if the Host has used the Enhanced Audio option preference to improve VOIP audio. In that case the Attendees need the Add-In to get that functionality.
Understand the Add-In is required because Adobe Flash Player does not have the feature set as native code. The Adobe Connect product team needs to add those features to the Flash player so Adobe Connect will have those capabilities. Maybe one day the Flash player will include those capabilities as native functions but that is a deeper discussion for another day.
The new Adobe Connect Add-Ins were posted a few weeks ago for Adobe Connect 8 SP1 and all versions of Connect. It is recommended those be used and significant improvement has been made in the features of the Add-in. They are posted here:
http://www.adobe.com/special/adobeconnect/migration/index.html -
The same recorded session opens fine if I select "View Original" instead.
Why won't the FLV option open?Try uninstalling and re-installing the add-in.

64 bit version of Connect Add-in
After the upgrade to Connect 8 on June 10, I was able to participate with my team in Adobe Connect for a few days, but today, June 14th, I can no longer get in. I get a pop up window with "The selected resource does not exist." I do the connection test and it says that I need to install the add-in, but I am running 64 bit Ubuntu and the add-in for Ubuntu is only 32 bit. Is Adobe going to catch up to 2011 and make a 64 bit version?
The connectaddin in the following packages is exactly the same:
Download Adobe Connect 8 Meeting Add-in for Ubuntu Linux 10.04 32-bit (DEB format, 3.83 MB)
Download Adobe Connect 8 Meeting Add-in for Ubuntu Linux 10.04 64-bit (DEB format, 3.93 MB)
I ran md5sum on the connectaddins in both the 32- and 64-bit DEB files, and they both have exactly the same checksum: 3a2ab7aa78b696c87606fdb85b369e4f.
So, the 64-bit DEB file really contains the 32-bit executable. This is a mistake. Please fix this. -
Adobe Acrobat Connect Add-in 9.3 r139 has encountered a problem
I have one particular user that cannot get into the web meetings using Acrobat Connect Add-in. We can log her on with any other PC with no problems. Something on this PC is hanging up.
She gets to the login screen and can log in and accept the agreement...then in IE, nothing happens. If I try to use Firefox, we get the following error:
"Adobe Acrobat Connect Add-in 9.3 r139 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I have tried the following solutions:
- Uninstalled/re-installed Flash
- Uninstalled/re-installed Adobe Connect Add-in
- Made sure Windows updates were current
- Deleted all temp files and cache
- Re-installed IE 8.
The problem is obviously not browser specific and appears to be with the actual Connect Add-in. Does anybody have any ideas or solutions?can you expand on what you mean by "nothing happens" does any 2nd window launch (connectAddin)? is IE8's popup blocker on or any popup blocker? is the other computer configured the same as the computer that does not work?
you dont state which windows or flash version (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html) is in use by the client or what your Adobe Connect version is or if the server is doing SSL. if you are not sure what version you have, append version.txt to your connectserver url.
example http://myconnect.mydomain/version.txt
and how the client is connecting to your connect server, is your server behind a firewall, is their client behind a firewall. if they are behind a firewall is there company ports open for RTMP ports.
also I dont have a quick fix for you but some troubleshooting tips
you stated that they removed the ConnectAddin from the add/remove programs but you may also need to check to make sure it was removed
#connectaddin location, can remove the connectaddin folder, once you reinstall the new it will recreate the connectaddin folder
win7: C:\Users\{userid}\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\www.macromedia.com\bin\connectaddin
winXP: C:\Documents and Settings\{userid}\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\www.macromedia.com\bin\connectaddin
to test and capture log info from the connectaddin, must create the mms.cfg
Connectaddin log folder, the file name will start with connectaddin-{current_date_time}.log
win7: C:\Users\{userid}\Documents\
winXP: C:\Documents and Settings\{userid}\My Documents\
#for winXX
#c:\windows\system32\mms.cfg
SingleLogFile=0
PlayerLogging=1
flashlogging=true
have them send you the logs to review you may also need to review the connect debug.log around the same timeframe, are you seeing anything odd.
after the testing make sure you have them comment out the lines in the mms.cfg, otherwise it will create a new file everytime they access a connect meeting room.
you can append ?mode=xml to the meeting URL. this will give you some detailed info within the browser. like which application server they are connected to and other info.
you could have the user try accessing the meeting room without the connect add-in, the addin is only required for that person to share. just add ?launcher=false to the end of the meeting url, this will force the meeting room to display within the browser and just use the flash player. -
Adobe Connect Add-in Error 9.1 r314
I have been getting an error while trying to save recordings offline. When the Adobe Connect add-in starts, I get the option to save and then then it crashes. Listed below are the step I have taken to resolve the issue
1. Uninstall the Add-in
2. Delete all folders pertaining to the add-in (macromedia.com folder and #sharedObjects)
3. Uninstalled flash.
4. Run "Flash Cleaner" from Adobe
5. Installed Flash then the Add-In
After this, I still received the same error. I have tried this about 3 times with no luck. Any help on this would be great. Below are the details that result from the crash. This is a vista machine. Error is not profile specific as I have created another profile and attempted to save the recording and received the error.

While trying to make a recording offline you run into an error message;
Adobe Acrobat Connect Add-in 9.3 r52 has encountered a problem and needs to close
(Add in WIN 9,3,34,0/ WIN 9.3.32,0)Add-in will crash when user make the recording offline in Meeting.
Reason
There seems to be a bug in the 9.3.32.0 Add-in causing it to crash. This will be fixed shortly. Only current work around is to install an older Connect Add-In (9.1.299)
1) Uninstall current Connect Add-in from Add/Remove Programs
2) Install this add-in from here;
ftp://breezeext:[email protected]/patches/Addin9.1.299.zip
Solution
Go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall the current Connect Add-in. Once completed you need to download Connect Add-in Version 9.1.299
