Installed ARCH x86_64; no flashplugin?
 
OK
so I installed the x86_64 version of ARCH last night
and went to get flashplugin and it's not available anymore?

so, I also tried packer with
flashplugin-universal
and then
flashplugin-native64

but, after installing firefox keeps crashing?!

is there a correct flashplugin for ARCH x86_64?
or is there a better browser I could be using?

specs are for this PC

HP a810n 3300+
amd athlon64/opteron
1GB ram 2.4Ghz

this is actually my first 64bit distro
as all the others on here are 32bit

so, any help appreciated!
thanks

Adobe stopped support for 64bit flash. Its back to using the 32bit flash with nspluginwrapper or using a 32 bit browser and 32bit flash in a chroot. Or using gnash.

We have temporarily closed the Labs program of Flash Player 10 for 64-bit Linux, as we are making significant architectural changes to the 64-bit Linux Flash Player and additional security enhancements. We are fully committed to bringing native 64-bit Flash Player for the desktop by providing native support for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux 64-bit platforms in an upcoming major release of Flash Player. We intend to provide more regular update information on our progress as we continue our work on 64-bit versions of Flash Player. Thank you for your continued help and support.

I have 32-bit Flash on my 64-bit Arch laptop, using the 32-bit libraries. Works fine.

OK
but where do i get the libs needed?
if I try to run 32bit firefox it says wrong elfclass libdbus-glib
so I need 32 bit one?
how do i install what I need?

note that Midori is not crashing...?

Google is a wonderful thing :P

Install 32bit Flash on a 64bit System - ArchWiki - http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/...a_64bit_System

Its a bit dated, but we are going back in time having to use nspluginwrapper again.

In Arch, I just do "pacman -S lib32"

I do not have nspluginwrapper installed--32-bit flash work fine with the above package installed.

Nice, doesn't work that way in Debian.

linus72 06-23-2010 02:38 PM
OK
but the 32 bit firefox or swiftfox still wont work
saying dbus-glib wrong elfclass
I tried runing 32bit firefox from firefox site and flash
and it wont run?

below is 64bit firefox
Code:
[root@nfluxos64 ~]# firefox
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32]
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/lib32flashplayer.so [/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/lib32flashplayer.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32]
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32]
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/lib32flashplayer.so [/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/lib32flashplayer.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32]
so, what was your exact procedure to use 32bit firefox?
I installed lib32 too

Ah!

I might have solved it!
googling found this
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AM...efoxAndPlugins

and so I did
Code:
wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
untarred it, copied it to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
and BAM!
flash works and has not (Fingers Crossed!) crashed so far!
maybe this'll help someone else!
