Which seems to work just fine here, and compared to the older beta it
doesn't have any features removed (like opengl scaling).

As of today, there is a flash player for 64bit linux again (again a

BTW, I just remembered something - there is a Fedora-specific (ish)
wrinkle here, which is that if you have SELinux enabled, it will
interfere with Flash as installed from the upstream tarball (not sure
about the RPM repo) until you relabel the file as recommended by the
SELinux denial alert message. For me this manifested as any page with
Flash on it taking an age to display (and rendering Firefox
un-responsive until it did), and the Flash content not working.

You used to be able to use the 64-bit native version, which is why it
was simple. However, the last version of that which Adobe released is
still subject to the huge security hole that was discovered earlier this
year, so it's a very bad idea to use it now (and Adobe no longer makes
it available, for this reason). Adobe have not committed to any specific
updated 64-bit Linux Flash release, so we're stuck with using the 32-bit
plugin through a wrapper for the foreseeable future.

After alsa-plugins-pulseaudio installation youtube is plaing music at
least :) Thanks!

I installed the system from KDE Live CD, and then installed Gnome
Desktop - so I don't know how default install path looks like. But
maybe it will be possible to add a packages group "Flash Support" that
will install all 32-bit packages needed by flash-plugin and add
/etc/yum.repos.d/adobe-linux-i386.repo file? I understand that you may
not like the idea of adding a adobe-flash package into Fedora, but
maybe simple packages group + repo file could be accepted?

I have personal experience with nspluginwrapper on Gentoo. It did not
crash actually. When closing a tab with SWF, the plugin blocked and one
needed to kill it manually. After killing, Firefox did some fancy things.

However I heard similar stories from other distributions users, so I
thought it's broken everywhere. I'm glad to hear it works again (or at
least somewhere).

krb5-libs-1.7.1-13.fc13 is from updates-testing. On my F13 box without
updates-testing, I have

krb5-libs-1.7.1-10.fc13.x86_64
krb5-libs-1.7.1-10.fc13.i686

You could try yum downgrade to get the stable version. But you probably won't be
able to reinstall the updates-testing version after installing the i686 packages
and flash-plugin.

Check the page again, I made several edits to the instructions to simplify them.
In particular, I broke the yum install into two separate commands, which avoids
the libstdc++ dependency problem that previously lead to the need to use
--exclude for the Adobe Reader. I also checked that in 64-bit Fedora 10, 11, 12,
and 13, installing the 32-bit nspluginwrapper automatically pulls in both the
32-bit libcurl (so you should already have that!) and the 32-bit libstdc++
(which will prevent Adobe Reader from getting pulled in). So the only Fedora
packages that need to be installed before flash-plugin are nspluginwrapper (both
32- and 64-bit) and alsa-plugins-pulseaudio (32-bit).

I think that's the problem. When I try to install missing libcurl

sudo yum install flash-plugin nspluginwrapper.x86_64
nspluginwrapper.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 libcurl.i686

I get

package krb5-libs-1.7.1-13.fc13.x86_64 (which is newer than
krb5-libs-1.7.1-10.fc13.i686) is already installed

I tried to skip krb5-libs

sudo yum install flash-plugin nspluginwrapper.x86_64
nspluginwrapper.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 libcurl.i686 -x
krb5-libs --skip-broken

but it also does not work. So I think that I need to wait for a while :)

I could swear that a few years ago flash installation was a lot simpler.

See

http://www.happyassassin.net/2010/06/26/a-quick-reminder-on-64-bit-flash/#comment-1642

and

http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2010-May/373309.html

If certain i686 packages aren't installed before flash-plugin, then it WILL try
to pull in AdobeReader_sve as a dependency, in order to provide libstdc++.so.6
(which can also be provided by one of the Fedora packages). The simple solution
is to just install those other packages first, then the repo works fine without
pulling in Adobe Reader.

well, I think that the advice on this page is somehow confused:

a) flash-plugin (at least as installed from http://get.adobe.com/cz/
flashplayer/thankyou/?installer=Flash_Player_10.1_for_Linux_%28YUM%29) 
quite certainly doesn't depend on Adobe Acrobat Reader:

And I'll note that in addition to WebM it can also do H264 (with the
usual gst codecs from the third party repo mentioned elsewhere in this
thread installed) which makes a huge difference as a huge portion of
youtube videos hasn't been converted to WebM yet (not sure how many
exactly -- are there any stats available?).

And in regard to the original question. Have you tried swfdec-mozilla?
It used to work just fine on youtube for me (but I've switched to flash
from adobe long ago enough for things to have changed...).

Remove any packages to do with gnash or swfdec, then do this:

Thanks for the tip.

I've got only two 8 GB's Linux partitions on laptop, so it won't take

Note that its better to switch to permissive mode if you want to test
something like this than to switch to disabled mode. Once you switch to
disabled, files don't get properly labelled and when you turn it back

I istalled all the good, the bad and the ugly plugins from rpmfusion
repo and it's not workie :)

Ok, nevermind, I give up. Flash support on this system is nice to have
not must have.

No AVC's releated to flash-plugin. I disabled SELinux and it still
doesn't work - so it's not a "security issue" ;)

I've been working on a Chromium update for a while now, hopefully this

Err no you are wrong, it is working fine here on multiple systems
using the wrapper on x86_64 and it does not cause a single crash.

Is this problem with flash not working on x86_64 architecture limited to
Fedora or what?
I use Ubuntu 10.04 64bit as my primary operating system and have 32bit
Flash installed with wrapper inside Firefox 4.0 beta 4 and have no
problems.
There I ask the question, what is wrong with doing the same thing in
Fedora?

Adobe Flash Player is not produced for x86_64 architecture by vendor.
(It used to be, however it containted serious security flaws). To use
it by 64b Firefox, you need to install a wrapper that converts 64b NPAPI
to 32b. However according my experience it causes crashes (tested on
Gentoo).

So IMHO there is no way how to use Adobe Flash Player on x86_64.

Which error message, which version?

I have no problem when Gnash 0.8.8 is compiled against ffmpeg (Gentoo again,
sorry).

I tried this viedeo  on
Fedora 13. It's compiled against Gstreamer, and it complainead about
missng AAC decoder. I installed gstreamer-plugins-bad
(http://www.gstreamer.net/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-bad-plugins/html/gst-plugins-bad-plugins-plugin-faad.html)
 and the sound in
Gnash started to work. Video worked already becuase of other gstreamer
plugin probably.

However these gstreamer plugins are not in offical Fedora repository
because of regional patents. They come from rpmfusion-free repositories.

Tom "Spot" Callaway also has a very nice dedicated repository for Firefox 4;

I personally prefer this one because it doesn't pull in other updates from

This is incorrect, F14 is stuck with Firefox 3.6.x, which is unable of 
WebM playback, so for HTML5 support on YouTube the solution is to use 
either Epiphany or a Firefox 4 build from Remi's repo.

It works fine here. -devel isn't a support list, it'd be more
appropriate to ask the question on -test or in IRC.

Any ideas why Adobe Flash does not work on F14? Once everything worked
without any problem (that was true in times of Fedora7, Fedora8 ;)).
