Can't get flash-plugin working in FF3 ??

2008-06-21 Thread William Case
Hi;

The subject of media has been something I have avoided, so I am a newbie
at understanding what I might be doing wrong.

I am running F9 -x86_64 and FireFox3.  Yum shows me flash-plugin (Adobe
Flash Plugin 9.0.124.0 arch i386) is installed.  Firefox 'about:plugin'
shows me flash-plugin is NOT installed.  After download and installation
I re-booted just to sure and no joy.

What could I be doing wrong? Where should I look?  Is there an arch
mis-match?

Dumb question: Is there a Linux substitute for Adobe Flash?

There gnash, and swdef? or something like that.  I installed gnash, it is ok 
for some stuff, but not for the whole enchilada.

Indeed there are substitutes and alternatives, but IHMO / experience,
none of them are as good as Flash 9.

The way I got this to work reliably on 64-bit F9 was to read and follow
the instructions on Section 10.5.1 of the F9 Release Notes. You can even
copy / paste the specific commands to complete the task if you like.

For the sake of convenience, the F9 US English Release Notes are found
at:

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f9/en_US/

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Chris

Worked like a charm.  Don't know why I didn't think of going to the
release notes.  I guess I just assumed Flash should automagically
download and install.
