No, it doesn't crash.  But it says something like This file is known
to cause problems and won't even try to play it.

 If you talk about the macromedia plugin, you need the 32bit browser.
 Otherwise, try gnash.

I tried gnash and got a crash each time a flash was on the page.
Maybe it needs some maturation...

A bit brutal, but I'm afraid it is correct.

Another good example on why closed formats (and not closed source) are
bad. Adobe said they'll release a complete API with version 9 of the linux
flash player, let's wait...

HA!  They also said they'd release an 8.5 player for GNU/Linux.  I'll
believe it when I see it.

Flash in firefox on amd64 -- revisted?

2006-08-20 Thread Andrew Robinson

I came across and archive on this list about firefox crashing with
BadShmSeg when attempting to use libflash-mozplugin, but I could
find no work around or resolution.

www.directv.com causes this in my case (btw -- I am on etch/testing)

Any hope of running flash on amd64 without chroot jailing firefox to 32bit mode?
