Re: [CentOS] Adobe Flash Install Woes
Chuck wrote: I am having a hell of a time getting adobe flash to work on a recent 5.2 install. From a stock CentOS 5 system, fully updated do the following: 1) Install Adobe's yum repository configuration: rpm -ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm 2) Install flash-plugin with yum yum install flash-plugin 3) Start, or restart firefox. This should work on any x86 or x86_64 installation of CentOS 5. If it does not, then it is possible that someone has misconfigured something in the system, or in the user's firefox configuration that is conflicting or messing with flash. Before messing with anything in the system to try and fix it, create a new dummy user account, and fire up firefox in the new user account to see if flash works in this default state. If it does, but it does not work in your own user account, then something in your user account's firefox configuration might be interfering with its ability to see flash for some reason. You can confirm that flash is present by going to about:plugins in the firefox location bar. Once firefox is showing up in about:plugins and flash sites are displaying, you may encounter other problems with flash. Visit YouTube, and if you notice that flash videos are incredibly slow and gimpy and/or audio cuts out, or the video/audio freeze for long periods of time especially on startup, then do the following: 1) Press CTRL-0 to unzoom the current webpage, and do not use the firefox CTRL+mousewheel zoom feature. Reload the page to see if the video plays ok now. 2) If CTRL-0 above allows video to play back properly or even just better, then your X server might not be configured correctly. 3) Check your X server log to see if EXA acceleration is being used. If it shows that XAA is being used, then you may not be able to use the firefox zoom feature on flash enabled webpages unless you enable EXA acceleration for your video hardware (assuming the driver you are using supports EXA). You may or may not experience other performance or video/audio glitch issues with flash. Mozilla's bugzilla is chock full of tonnes of flash issues on Linux. Anyhow, I hope this helps you get things working. Good luck. TTYL ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I am having a hell of a time getting adobe flash to work on a recent 5.2 install. From rpm install: Running firefox as root -- I have verified there is a symlink in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins that points to the actual plugin located in /usr/lib/flash-plugins nada. SoI then copied the plugin directly into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and eliminated the symlink from the equation. nada. I then installed the plugin into the $HOME/.mozilla/plugins/ directory of a normal user (and making sure everything was read/executable by that user). nada. At no time does the adobe flash pugin ever appear in the plugins panel when viewing Tools-Addons from within the browser. I see no errors or any logs of any kind getting generated anywhere. An rpm check of both firefox and the flash plugin return with no complaints. I see scads of posts on google regarding other adobe flash player woes but none of the solutions i've found so far work.

Have you uninstalled the Firefox RPM? If so yum install firefox will get a new copy for you.

Here too I guess. But when I test at the site Lanny referenced, it fails for me too. When I try to download, it says I'm not supported. I just wondered if your shockwave works. I believe, but am not positive, from some reading on the Adobe site, that one of their viewers also contains the other one. So, I suspect that the one it says is not available for your box or mine is included in the one that we do have installed and running. snip My setup is box stock for this stuff, so I don't think you should need to mess with tarballs, source, betas, etc. So is my box and messing with tarballs, etc., when it is not necessary, and it is not necessary in this case; is *strongly* discouraged by the CentOS developers and very knowledgeable people on this list. Explained in the Support documentation (Wiki) on centos.org Bill: Do you remember if there is a command one needs to use, to get the plugin to work? I'm not sure if I had to do that for Flash or another Firefox Plugin or if it was for something else. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
