How to Install flash-plugin in F15_X64?

[fantab]

I had to reinstall Fedora 15_x64.

I am unable to install flash-plugin (Adobe Flash Player version 10.3.183.10) for 64 bit Linux. I have downloaded "YUM for Linux" from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer and tried to install adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm with Software Install. I then used 'yum install flash-plugin', It installed but there is no flash-player in browser and I could not play Youtube.


I Googled for a solution but it did not help. I request the forum to help me. I am relatively new to linux and fedora so I would appreciate if the solution is offered in a step-by-step manner.

Thanks.

search this forum.. there are PLENTY of solutions.

Besides, there's a nice yellow link on top of the page, there are many usefull programs.
You could try my scripts as well, as long you're not afraid of the terminal.

Download from Adobe the rc version of flash -> link <- unzip it and move the file to

/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins

make a link to
/home/~user/mozilla/plugins

Open firefox and in the address bar type:

about:plugins

Check if flash is OK

Thank you Mitsakos your link helped. I have a working FLASH-PLUGIN.

I did this:

$ su cd /tmp
# wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/l..._090611.tar.gz
# tar -xzvf flashplayer11_rc1_install_lin_64_090611.tar.gz
# mv /tmp/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/

And it worked beautifully.

Question: what is wrong with the "Yum for Linux" which is available from the link I mentioned above? Why did the .noarch.rpm package did not help?
Thanks...

To be honest I never tried to install it with yum.
Probably cause of the architecture.

Anyway, it is good to hear that you're Ok.

Enjoy!
