Glad you got it working. BTW what attack vulnerabilities are you referring to. Where did you go last weeks? ;-) To make it short: it was discovered a big flaw in many Adobe products (Adobe Raeder, Flash Player, Adobe Air...) that can lead an attacker to gain access into the user's machine. Besides, the code for this to happen has been on-the-fly (at least for windows systems) and is still active. I am unaware of any code being actively exploited for Linux systems that makes use of this flaw, though, but that is not a proof of that is not going to happen :-/ Adobe corrected the flaw for 32-bits systems (10.1.53.64) and left in the dark all users who were using the 64-bits version of the Flash Player (10.0.45.2). *** Security update available for Adobe Flash Player http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-14.html *** Also The free 'gnash' player does not work at all. Yes, I know. It's a pitty but Gnash does not work for many sites that make use of the more advanced programming features of Flash specs :-( Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

New amd64 system needs flash player
I just built a new squeeze amd64 system. I need a flash player to run some games. I can not get the testing dist to download and install from adobe. gnash does NOT work at all. adobe currently does not support their own native 64 bit apps. Does anybody know of a site with a native 64 bit app for this. BTW: the squeeze installer craps out and says the attempted download is the wrong architecture. Thanks!
