Flash on Fedora 12 64


Hi All

I´ve just installed Fedora 12 64 on my Lenovo 3000 N200 laptop, and mostly so far so good. The big problem though is getting the flash player to work.

I downloaded the rpm from Adobe but couldn't get it to work, I eventually found http://mariuszczyz.wordpress.com/200...-installation/ and followed the instructions there, it worked. But after a reboot sites that need flash were telling me I needed to install the player.

According to yum flash is installed, I´ve tried the instruction from the above site again, but to no avail.

Any ideas how I get flash to work (and stay working) again?

Hi

Great that works, thanks. With luck it will continue to do so, any idea why it stopped before?

I've never really had a problem with flash in Fedora. Then again, most of my installs are 32 bit. I try to use Fedora recommended sources and methods for installing most third party apps, and I guess that's why I stay out of trouble. Why did flash break? Who knows? If I can solve the problem by re-installing it, I'll leave the why's to Adobe. Hopefully flash will disappear in the near future and be replaced with something more reliable.
