Installing Adobe Flash on Fedora 10 (x86-64)

There are two ways to install support for Adobe Flash in you’re Fedora 10 (x86-64) system.You can install the i386 version of the release Adobe Flash Player (latest is flash-plugin.i386 0:10.0.15.3-release) or the alpha release of the Adobe Flash Player in x86-64 (latest is libflashplayer-10.0.d21.1.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz)

Here I will provide the solution for both versions.

One using a yum repos channel to the Adobe website, or by downloading directly the .rpm file.

1) Preparing the Mozilla Plugins & needed libraries

  1. mkdir -p /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
  2. yum install nspluginwrapper.{i386,x86_64} pulseaudio-lib.i386

2a) Using the yum adobe-linux-i386.repo channel

  1. sudo –
  2. rpm -ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
  3. rpm –import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
  4. yum install flash-plugin

2b) Using the flash-plugin-10.0.15.3-release.i386.rpm without the adobe yum channel

3) Mozilla Plugin Config & Restart

  1. mozilla-plugin-config -i -g -v

restart firefox and enjoy ;)

tip: if you experience any problems with the sound, install alsa-plugins-pulseaudio, restart firefox and try again:

  1. yum install alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i386

let me know how it goes…
