and thing is, that I can not watch videos in FF.
I was able before update to watch videos in FF.
Here is video:

I also use Opera, and there videos are working fine...

try re-emering flash

Code:

emerge -va adobe-flash


if that doesn't work try the testing version

Code:

echo "www-plugins/adobe-flash ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords


or ~amd64 if you are using a 64 bit gentoo

and then emerge flash to update

Hello Bob

I had before in my package.keywords the line you suggested:
www-plugins/adobe-flash ~amd64

I had open FF wile emerging, so I closed it, and restarted my laptop.

Still nothing...

Here is the output:

Code:
C6820s ~ # emerge -va adobe-flash

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Hello

I am bumping my post
in hope for some more help.

Flash is still not working.
I can not seem to find my way around that bug webpage.

Thank you.

(I have 64bit gentoo, dual core processor, 2gb ram, hp laptop)

You have 2 choices at the moment, you can either emerge a 32bit browser like firefox-bin and use 32bit flash with that or emerge nspluginwrapper to use 32bit flash in 64bit browser. Using nspluginwrapper is discouraged but still works.
I did see a thread about adobe releasing a new 64bit flashplayer so this might not be an issue for long, not sure if it's in portage yet.

and actually adobe just anounced the release of a native 64 bit flash. This should be in portage or an overlay (if not already) soon.

UAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

It works!!!

ok, First I did this:
Code:
# emerge adobe-flash-10.2.161.22_pre20100915

but this gave me no such build or something familiar.

Than I did this:
Code:
# emerge --update --deep --newuse --keep-going world


And in between was flash, yes!

Now, I have a follow up question,
is it wise to do this:
Code:
# emerge --depclean
# revdep-rebuild

in order to clean my gentoo?

Thank you.
