naraku9333 Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 So far I havent had any problems with 9, although flash loads considerabley slower for me in opera then firefox. But I can finally play the adult swim flash games. Also, adobe also released flex2 for linux. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, adobe also released flex2 for linux.I went to the adobe site and downloaded, extracted the file, but, the command ./flashplayer-installer didn't work like it did for flash 7.I guess 9 has a new installer?

jcl Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 (edited) I went to the adobe site and downloaded, extracted the file, but, the command ./flashplayer-installer didn't work like it did for flash 7.I guess 9 has a new installer?There isn't an installer. The manual install is dead simple though: copy/symlink the .so into the right place and you're done. Firefox and Mozilla look in ~/.mozilla/plugins/, Opera can be pointed wherever you want by editing ~/.opera/pluginpath.ini, Konqueror... I can't remember.

naraku9333 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 It seems Adobe has made an APIavailable to allow adttional features be written by the community. Not FOSS but, an interesting step in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Firefox and Mozilla look in ~/.mozilla/plugins/, Opera can be pointed wherever you want by editing ~/.opera/pluginpath.ini, Konqueror... I can't remember.you can tell Konqueror to look for Netscape plug ins, as Firefox will also look in /home/username/.netscape/plugins this is where I put it so Konqueror will find it when you tell it to search for plug ins.

This worked for me:wget http://lp.slackwaresupport.com/Slackware-1...8-i486-1kjz.tgzthen I navigated to my download directory and issued this command:#installpkg flash-player-9.0.21.78-i486-1kjz.tgz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hitest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 hmmm, it worked that first day, well, I tried ..No worries. Your posts always point me in the correct direction, iccaros! I always know that if I get into a jam in Linux that you will be able to bail me out! I'm a hobbyist, not a professional like you. You were very patient and helped me to learn about my favourite OS, Slackware. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 this would be the direct link to download it using wgetwget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer9_update/FP9_plugin_beta_112006.tar.gz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
