flash9 comes to linux (2 Viewers)

[Martin]

Only a year after being released for windows, flash player 9 [beta] has come to linux.

Painless howto

open:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html

download Download Installer for Linux (GZ, 2.48 MB)

tar zxvf <file>

cd flash-player-plugin-9.0.21.55/

cp libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins

open: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/

flash on the lower right should say version 9,0,21,55 installed


This will install it for your user. To install globally, figure out where your plugins are and put the file there.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

UPDATE: no shit, flash player no longer makes firefox steal all your idle cpu cycles, Firefox is playing a youtube video right now and it's only using 20% cpu!!! Hopefully this will improve Firefox latency in dealing with flash, less crashes, more error less operation.

Ps. And alsa works too, so no need for aoss anymore.

It didnt work at all with me, each time I open a page with flash, FF quit immediately.

FYI, flash + vmware + fglrx is not recommended, it's like a cauldron, waiting to blow at any time.

Mandriva is history man, read my lips H I S T O R Y, a very childish distro
