Fedora 10 64-bit, flash

[ormandj]

Hi,

I'm new to Fedora. I'm an RHCE, but used to dealing with the server-side issues. I'm now attempting to run Fedora on my workstations, as EL 5 is too out of date for most applications that I need to perform my work.

I've gotten it installed (snap3, but fully updated, didn't know the preview came out today - hah.) I'm using the 64-bit version. I'd like to stick with completely free software, but if necessary, I'm willing to go with non-free. One absolute necessity is flash support, unfortunately. I attempted to use swfdec/the mozilla plugins for it, and while it worked for some basic stuff, it wouldn't even work for last.fm, which is my primary usage of flash. ;)

So, I grabbed the adobe rpm package for flash 10 (which seems to be i386) and that nspluginwrapper package from rhel. I noticed there are two sets, one is i386 and one is x64. Do I need to install the i386 version, which seems to want to install a ton of 386-specific libraries and such?

Or, would something else work for me? The only thing I use flash for are the few websites that require it, last.fm, and from time to time youtube. I'd like to avoid installing a bunch of i386 software, but if necessary I can go that route.

Thank you for your input, other than this minor issue, I've been quite pleased with the experience compared with Ubuntu.

Cheers,
David

I'm pretty sure you have to install nspluginwrapper for both x86_64 and i386 on the same machine.

You may try taking a peek here: http://macromedia.mplug.org/

Also take a look at this page...it has always worked for me. However, since that doc was written, Flash10 was released, and you're using an unreleased version of Fedora...so your results may vary. ;)

Went with the 64-bit adobe version when it was released, seems to be working. Still want an OSS version, but in the meantime, this will work 'ok'. Thanks.
