   i just do:

   [edward@spoiltspace.co.uk ~]$ sudo rpm -ivh
   http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
   [edward@spoiltspace.co.uk ~]$ sudo yum install flash-plugin

   and no libflashsupport anymore, enjoy!

   I had already included the yum repository previously so the upgrade to flash 10 was as easy as running “yum update”. Unfortunately the browser would then segfault on start-up when loading the many previously loaded tabs. Nice.

   Hmmmm…

   Doesn’t yum automatically import the GPG keys ? o_O

   See also http://macromedia.mplug.org/ , hint on installing curl.i386 helped me solve odd crashes on all .swfs (F8, x86_64).

   I guess that libflashsupport is not needed any more.

   Thanks for the article. It took me a while to figure out why :

   [root@localhost ~]# mozilla-plugin-config -i -g -v

   would not work on 32 bit(?)

   bash: mozilla-plugin-config: command not found

   I had to:

   [root@localhost ~]# sudo yum install nspluginwrapper.{i386,x86_64} pulseaudio-lib.i386

   Now Flash Player 10 is installed and working fine.

   Thanks from a newbie!

   Just thought that i would let you guys know, that since fedora have release version 10… the following still works

   sudo rpm -ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

   sudo yum install flash-plugin

   Hope thats of some help to the people using Fedora 10

    For native 64 bit support, just use the Flash 10 64 bit beta. Install is easier than waiting for Yum to figure out what the hell it wants to do, and it has worked flawlessly for me since I did the install. And on another note, no more wrapping your stuff in multiple layers of complexity.
    You can find the .tar.gz file at the Adobe Labs site.

    Thanks for the info! I’m bit of a n00b to linux – but so far I like it

    Got stuck for a little bit because yum was reporting it was locked by another app etc etc… Figured out it must have been the automatic update it was doing :/

    anyway, works a treat

    I followed your instructions and flash works but I get no sound. I did try the sudo yum install alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i386 command but still no sound. I am on 64 bit Fedora 10, can anyone help. I am completely new to Linux.
25. Edward Karavakis says:

    April 8, 2009 at 6:07 pm

    hm, try:
    $ sudo yum install nspluginwrapper.{i386,x86_64} pulseaudio-lib.i386
    $ sudo yum install flash-plugin
    $ mozilla-plugin-config -i -g -v
    should work fine… if not, try the 64bit version of flash…

    hello guys, i am really sorry to ask this silly question, but i am new in Linux, what is “sudo”
    and why when i am trying to write the script that you are saying about it to download the flash player, always it is asking about the password for the user, and after i put the password it is saying the user is not in the “sudo”
    so kindly if you can explain to me what is “sudo” and how can i add a user to “sudo”

    thank you very much
