On CentOS, it also worked. At first I had a bit of trouble with sound, but as I'm a technical genius, I quickly realized that the light on the speakers, which indicates that I've turned on the power, was off, and pushing the power button quickly remedied it.

I got the setup script from the flash-plugin rpm and edited it for 64 bit .

First rule of networking--always check that it's plugged in.

Yup, I have a very nice cousin who likes to come visit me, upon doing so, he thinks it's funny, that, when I go away from the computer, to pull the eth0 cable out, then he thinks it's funny to watch me trying to figure out why the NIC card isn't working, only to find half hour later eth0 cable not in the computer... wonder how that got out .

I want to keep nspluginwrapper, too -- it wraps the pdf plugin (which I want/need).

If you want nspluginwrapper to ignore flash, edit /etc/sysconfig/nspluginwrapper and add "libflash*" to the "export IGNORE_WRAP= ..." line.

Before:

export IGNORE_WRAP="libtotem*:libjavaplugin*:gecko-mediaplayer*:mplayerplug-in*:librhythmbox*:libvlcplugin*"

After:

export IGNORE_WRAP="libtotem*:libjavaplugin*:gecko-mediaplayer*:mplayerplug-in*:librhythmbox*:libvlcplugin*:libflash*"

I had to do the same thing to prevent nspluginwrapper from wrapping my 64-bit VLC plugin, too.

I'm in shock!

Not just that they released a 64bit version of Flash-player, but that Linux got it first. Seems to work great too.

That's a good thing to read. Certainly good news.

Can you briefly explain how to remove the 32 bit flash (including nspluginwrapper if that is no longer needed?) and get the 64 bit version installed and working?

maybe a mod would be so kind as to merge these threads?

Thanks Leigh.

Next question... how do I identify and remove all the i386 stuff that was previously required for flash 32 bit and is no longer needed? (Or is this just nspluginwrapper?)

Edit: nevermind, I just removed all i386 packages. Now, when will skype go 64 bit?

It's working for me so far, though I haven't tested extensively.
I can run a pure 64-bit system finally, no more i386 packages!

You know, I think Leigh probably has a degree in merging threads
