Does anyone know how to get the Shockwave/Flash plugins working with Firefox? I've tried everything I can possible think of. The directions in the README are a bunch of bull and make no sense. I've tried putting it in the installation directories plugin directory (/usr/lib/firefox/plugins) and I've also tried ~.phoenix/plugins but neither worked. Permissions seem right too. Got any ideas?
I used the installer from Macromedia here. It will prompt you for the directory where firefox is installed, which in my case was /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox. It installed the plugin, no problems. There are more detailed instructions on the macromedia download page if you need them.
if you would hit ctrl+alt+F1 after you go to a flash web page and the plugin fails to work. You would see you are missing a required lib but instead of installing libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 I just did this
as root or super user
ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.5 /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
to get back too Xwindow hit ctrl+alt+F7
close browser and resart problem solved
Excellent! The libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 from http://at.rpmfind.net/opsys/linux/R...6.2-2.so.3.html
did the trick for me.
Except...
Interactive Flash does not recognize my keyboard input.
Anybody else have same problem/solution?
