FC5 Macromedia Flash

Yesterday I installed my system with FC5. Everything is working fine except Flash from Macromedia.

I downloaded the FlashPlugin from macromedia, installed it in /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.1/
When I check the plugin dir in firefox the flashplugin is there, but it just doesn't work.

I also tried to install plugin with missing plugin wizard which can be run when clicked on it in the firefoxbar, no result either

Anybody an idea?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Sebastiaan

If SELINUX is installed do the following:

For Flash and Java run "system-config-securitylevel" as root and as your user. For each (root and your user) on the SELinux tab under "Modify SELinux Policy" click "Compatibility", then tick the check boxes for "Allow executables to run with executable stack" and "Allow the use of shared libraries with Text Relocation". Then click the "OK" button.

Solved!

The question was apparently asked (and answered) a few hours before you did:

Might not be the same issue though...

Its a different issue, problem here was SELINUX!

Actually, the problem was flash But you can tell SELinux to ignore it.

Just to let you all know, I followed both instuctions. I now have flash working.

Thanks All.

Thank for your reply

marcolux if you are running a 64 bit browser, then flash wont work. This has been posted many many many times. Install a 32bit browser and then try installing flash. I'm sure it will work.
