Installing Adobe Flash

[mikeycuk11]

Hi

I'm a complete newbie to Fedora and am just trying F15 and just have this problem that is driving me up the wall.

I am trying to install Adobe Flash Player and am getting no-where fast. I have searched in the forums and on the web, copying and pasting the entries I have found but keep getting all sorts of errors because basically I don't know what I am doing.

Can anyone please give me simple step by step instructions on how to accomplish this cos I'm about to stove my head in LOL.

Cheers

Mike

There are a good number of instructions in here for this.

I just use the YUM option in Adobe page
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP

after you install it, maybe like
#yum -y localinstall adobe-release-i386-1.0-1,noarch.rpm
(# means you're root)
or something like that
then you have to do a system update and accept the Adobe key for the repo
then you have to install the program, flash plugin
I usually use yumex so I can find it or I guess you could
#yum -y install flash-plugin
I think that will work
I'm experimenting with the 64 bit version. All I did was dl it and copy it to
~/.mozilla/plugins ( I think that's it )
(~ means your home folder /home/myusername/...)
but I'm the only user on this box and I'm not sure it really works, I've had this up for a while and it's starting to look like a High School lab frog.
You have to get the 64 bit version here

I'm using the 64 bit, and it works well.

See previous post. You need to make libflashplayer.so executable though, after it has been extracted:

#chmod 755 libflashplayer.so (as root).

As above, or just right click the file, Properties, register: "Rights", pretty below: "execute file as application" (similar to this, as i use german interface)

(i'm new to linux too, so i hope above is correct, just another way)
