ehh.. i can't understand why they don't just compile this 2mb chunk of code on an athlon64 :/

Well, I thought just in case someone have got lucky. But that's just a wish

Aargh..... I'm so tired of this, every website seems to be built with flash

. Not any of the Linux sites I visit though, but the rest of them are just filled with this annoying "get missing plugin here".
I just posted my fifth request to them, hopefully they get really tired of me and the rest of us that have posted them more then once, and starts porting the flashplayer to 64-bit

I've told them to either provide a 64 bit version for Linux or open up the source ...

I wonder what they're doing with all these requests... obviously they must get a LOT of them towards a flash player for 64 bit linux and ppc-linux, but have done nothing publicly (and I'm not sure its THAT huge of a deal to recompile, maybe fix a few bugs if they're preventing it from compiling).

But in the meantime, has anyone used GPLflash? I just read they restarted development and are reaching towards a flash 7 player.

I tried it not so long ago... a couple of months or so. But the only thing GPLflash liked to do then where to kill my firefox, don't know how it works at the moment though

I tried it last week. It's horrible. Every flash movie makes Firefox crash. I unmerged it immediately...

But I'm glad I got one of the free licences for Opera. As this browser ist 32bit, it can use the 32bit flash-plugin. So if there is really a need to see a flash-movie I can simply open the Site in Opera. And after all, using a browser that doesn't support flash makes the internet a nice and pleasant place again

Yeess and Opera 32 bit is so faster than Firefox 64 bit, now i'm using only Opera.

Not too long after they were giving away free liscenses, they just made the whole browser free.

I was browsing the Mozilla extensions/plugins page today... saw this:

Macromedia Flash Player
Version: 7.0r25
Netscape 7.2: Supported
Mozilla 1.7: Supported
Firefox 1.0: Supported
FAQ: Flash Player FAQ

1. Download Flash Player 7.0.
2. Decompress it, then copy libflashplayer.so to your Mozilla plugins directory and flashplayer.xpt to your Mozilla components directory.

Note: Version 6.0r81 and later no longer require libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

Does this work with firefox-bin? Is this anything different from what we'd get with emerging netscape-flash (I'd assume yes)?

I wanna install opera and install flash on it. Is there a easy gentoo way of doing this?

Gnufsh · Post by **Gnufsh** » Fri Sep 30, 2005 1:33 am

emerge opera netscape-flash

should work for opera with flash (it did for me).

Anoooooooooother request sent. But i think this is not going to solve anything... till gplflash is out and stable. And this is going to get a lot of time. But i assure that, if a have to choose in the future, gplflash will be my selection.
