adobe flash player + google chrome

mandalay · #1 30th May 2011, 09:59 AM

I am using gnome fedora 15. I installed the latest version of adobe flash player. google chrome told me to enable the flash plugin from "about : plugins" (no spaces), but the flash plugin is not listed. The same thing happened with firefox.

How do i get the adobe flash player to work?

Or as linux users, is that something that is just not compatible with our systems?

Easiest method is to install Fedora Plus from http://www.dnmouse.org/autoten/

Are you using 64bit Linux, because Chrome comes with flash included for 32bit ?

If so, follow the method here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=205642.

so i have to reinstall fedora 15 with fedora plus to get all the extras? will this override my current setup?

these are the last tidbits that i wanted to get working.

my head hurts...i just now got to this point. are you sure this is not another way?

No you do not have to reinstall Fedora 15. FedoraPlus will just configure a few repositories and download plugins/software etc depending on what you select.

You simply copy paste the two lines displayed under the snapshot of FedoraPlus to install it. Then, click the Windows Key (Meta_L) type fedoraplus and press enter, FedoraPlus will open, select the desired option and click okay.
