I just installed FC5 and am pretty much new to linux overall. I have a test to take on a webpage using flash. I went to the flash website and downloaded it and installed it per the instructions on their site. It said installation complete, but under about:config in firefox it shows no flash. I need to take this 10 hour online course by sunday afternoon, preferably before, so i would greatly appreciate any help anyone has. Thanks in Advance.
I also found this and could not paste the files into their directories per the instrutions below. Do i need to be root to do that?
Hi friends...
Maybe many of you had problems installing Flash player under Phoneix / Mozilla. Even following the instructions on the Mozilla site. Well I was one of them and today I got the solution!
First follow the step just as Mozilla's site describe:
"Download Flash Player 6.0r79 then extract libflashplayer.so to your
plugins directory and flashplayer.xpt to your components directory"
Those directories are under your Mozilla directory, mostly under /usr/share.
Then download the RPM package "libstdc++2.10-2.96-0.83mdk.i586.rpm" that contains C++ libraries and install it. I used it with Redhat 9 and works great!.
Then do a log out. and enjoy your Flash player!
It still says flash not detected. I also checked on another site and it was not detected, and the popdown toolbar for availiable plugins came up. I clicked on it and it listed flash and an "unknown" I clicked manual install on the unknown player and it brought me to the flash download, even after i downloaded and installed flash per their gui installer.
