[gentoo-user] Which level of flash reader for AMD64?
I was using net-www/netscape-flash-10.0.12.36 but the ebuild was removed from portage and I got downgraded to www-plugins/adobe-flash-9.0.159.0 since I had higher versions masked. I use www-plugins/nspluginwrapper-1.0.0 with konqueror-3.5.10; when I tried to upgrade it the latest version just segfaults so I have masked that. adobe-flash-9.0.159.0 now just causes konqueror to freeze and 10.0.22.87 segfaults. Anyone having any success with this? TIA -Robin -- -- Robin Atwood.

I had to use firefox to view flash. Latest adobe-flash is 64 bit and works well in konqueror-4.2. Top reports around 10% cpu usage when idle, but that's probably more due to a stupid blocking IO strategy by Adobe than anything else. So as I see it your choices are: firefox kde-4 -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

What console errors or log messages do you have? Anything in elog alerts that might provide a clue? You could also try swfdec or gnash if you know you don't need the latest and greatest flash features. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

I will use that when necessary. Thanks! -Robin -- -- Robin Atwood.

Anyone having any success with this? On my system, when I did etc-update it automagically renamed netscape-flash to adobe-flash in my /etc/portage/package* files. Emerge flash with -32bit use flag and it should work without need for nspluginwrapper. That includes in Konqueror.

No, but re-emerging it with -32bit makes no difference with konqueror, it still segfaults. Firefox works fine, however. -Robin -- -- Robin Atwood.

Did you emerge adobe-flash with USE Flag -32bit ? well, it still has the advantage that flash can crash as much as it wants with the wrapper without affecting konqueror. That said nspluginwrapper-1.2.2 sucks.
