16/12/2010 - Important email received from Adam.W Fedora QA Community Monkey
I recommend not installing the 64-bit Flash plugin for several reasons.
See, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F14_bugs#Strangely_distorted_sound_in_Flash-based_sites_and_applications_when_using_Adobe_64-bit_Flash_plugin
and the warnings at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flash#64-bit_Preview_Release ,
and follow the instructions at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flash#32_bit_wrapped_version to install the 32-bit version wrapped instead.
It is nice to see the fedora community (and a Red Hat employee) demonstrating an active interest in the users as well as the product.
Thank you for the email.
Thanks it works
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI installed the 64bit adobe flash player plugin for mozilla. It seems to work, but it is unable to detect my webcam (camera not found). Cheese webcam booth can find it straight away (/dev/video0).
Does anybody know how i could fix it ?
many thanks

Thank you this worked
ReplyDeleteWorking with the beta edition of Fedora 15. The square plugin is not recognized by Firefox 4 when running on a 64 bit version of Fedora 15.
ReplyDeleteHello guys(also Ray),
ReplyDeleteon Fedora 15 you have to chmod that plugin so then Firefox 4 can recognize it!
so:
sudo chmod 777 /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins
or:
su -
chmod 777 /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins
...in case of 64bit systems use sound distortion patch from Linus Torvalds"
apropo author warnings:
-distortion solves patch!
-wrapped version is fine, BUT!!! - it crashes almost everytime when even one flash ad, or game, or tab is closed... so then all flash sessions fall down...
from my point of view I can see these issues with 64bit version:
-security could be not as good as in 32bit or windows versions, that are updated frequently...
-it is still BETA, so some problem can be faced - to be honest - I faced no problem except sound distortion...
so choice is on your side! :)
