I've read and reread the 2010.0 errata page, and tried to follow what it says about the flash plugin, but I still cannot get my browsers to play flash content. They either crash or do not play anything. Even though I installed the 64 bit flash plugin according to the errata page, it isn't seen in console.

 

[kieth@host-001 ~]$ rpm -q flash-plugin

package flash-plugin is not installed

It is seen in firefox (about:plugins), even if I still can't play flash material.

Shockwave Flash

 

File name: libflashplayer.so

Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32

 

MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled

application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes

application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes

 

This is what happens when I try to see a video on foxnews.com.

[kieth@host-001 ~]$ firefox

Illegal instruction

 

I've been googling around trying to find the answer, but to no avail. Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Seems to work OK here, 64bit clean install. I just put libflashplayer.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins. I was wondering if the problem was more gdk than flash. 'rpm -qa | grep gdk' gives me:

 

libgdk_pixbuf2.0_0-2.18.3-3mdv2010.0

gdk-pixbuf-loaders-0.22.0-15mdv2010.0

lib64gdk-pixbuf2-0.22.0-15mdv2010.0

lib64gdk_pixbuf2.0_0-2.18.3-3mdv2010.0

 

Maybe compare that to your system?

I had 2 of the ones you listed in my computer. I installed the other two, but they are newer. The problem still remains, unfortunately.

 

[kieth@host-001 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep gdk

libgdk_pixbuf2.0_0-2.18.3-3mdv2010.0

gdk-pixbuf-loaders-0.22.0-15mdv2010.0

lib64gdk-pixbuf2-0.22.0-15mdv2010.0
