My flash is slow
We just got Fedora Core v1.1 in...Febuary which was a nice change from XP...but when we installed (just my dad, really) flash it was slow and the problem is continuous and my dad says when the new kernel comes out and when we DL it the problem will be fixed...is there an easier alternative?
Sorry, I'm so much of a :newbie: |
Not really much of an alternative. The truth is that the flash plugin for Linux is currently crappy...hopefully this will be fixed with v7.
You could try the standalone player, which has better playback, but it doesn't work with embedded flash movies. |
I noticed that the same plugin behaves differently in mozilla and firefox:
File name: libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 6.0 r79 It is slow in mozilla, but fast in firefox! However, another machine has firefox built by linux packager (http://altlinux.com/), and a newer plugin version (r81), but it is slow. "Fast" firefox was downloaded from mozilla website. Both are versions 0.8. |
Try setting this environment variable:
export FLASH_GTK_LIBRARY=libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 put it in /etc/profile or ~/.bash_profile by the way it doesn't have much to do with the kernel |
That is great! It works for me.
Thank you! |
It works for me, too.
Fedora Core 2 Test 3 Firefox Thanks a lot! |
