Just extract libflashplayer.so, and throw it in ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins/ to install for only yourself, or as root, extract it to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ to install systemwide.
Release Notes: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer9/releasenotes.html - corevette, on 10/12/2007, -5/+32at least some major companies care about linux
- koregaonpark, on 10/12/2007, -3/+27Thanks for the links. It's really cool when submitters do this.
- trevi55, on 10/12/2007, -3/+24Packages for Ubuntu updated...
http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/dists/edgy/3v1n0/
Look for
- "flashplayer-nonfree" (for the standalone player)
- "flashplugin-nonfree" (for the browser plugin)
Bye ;) - misteral, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20And yet, still no AMD64 support. :(
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Trevino rules.
- Stonekeeper, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14Just to keep everyone up to date:
Adobe is now not so evil
Novell have become evil
Google are probably not evil
Sony are now not so evil
Nintendo are never evil (aparently)
And Microsoft still wants to be the one ring(!) to rule them all. - demonsofgoetia, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11Cool news, btw...
Is there a way, on Linux to make a Flash animation video?
I'd like to make an introduction to The Goetia for beginners, showing them how easy it is to perform an evocation to bring forth a spirit from the Goetia. Thanks to anyone who may be able to answer this, regarding a flash animation video maker for Linux! - realyst, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Dunno why I got dugg down either. Must be idiot day today. Happens once in a while when a few people start clicking the down thumb because of some odd biological drive to be an immature dick.
But as I'd said, f4l is one example for you:
http://f4l.sourceforge.net/
You may also wan to try using Wine with Flash 8...although read here:
http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3673
as apparently there are issues with it - DarkStalker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I'm running it perfectly fine in Konqueror on a 64-bit machine.
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Yeah, Mooninite must be right. He's obviously more skilled than and more familiar with the Flash codebase than the Adobe staff is.
- realyst, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I vaguely remember a project called flash4linux, but it was fairly limited. I think it does Tween fine but AS may be iffy.
- johnstar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4if this flash doesn't do it for you you can run firefox in wine worked for my when 7 was all linux had
- redog, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6This doesn't work with ppc-linux.
- r3tex, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Flash 9 has worked like a charm in Debian :) even audio multiplexing works, yahoo!
- cwilson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2On my laptop, I recently made the switch from Windows to Ubuntu. From the start, my video would gradually run ahead of my audio when watching flash videos online. It was very frustrating and I was starting to get a little fed up with the problem. I couldn't fix it no matter what I tried.
I am very pleased to say that with this latest beta, the problem appears to be resolved! I've been trying out clips on You Tube and Rev 3 throughout the day and I haven't had any noticable problems. - ISIfunded911, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3OK, I just installed this update and googlevideo still does not work, youtube still does.
- atdigg, on 10/12/2007, -7/+9"The plugin does not currently work in Opera browsers. We are working with Opera on this issue." -- oh well...
- b0b0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I don't know about that. Nspluginwrapper causes my CPU usage to spike and eventually, after attempting to view a few videos, brings my machine to a crawl.
I guess I'll wait for native 64-bit. - Tanath, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4That's ~/.mozilla/plugins/ actually.
- mcc123, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4daxsymbiont: sudo apt-get install alsa-oss
Then in /etc/firefox/firefoxrc -> FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"
Restart Firefox et voila! - greyfade, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2it works fine in both 32-bit firefox and opera and 64-bit firefox when you use nspluginwrapper.
that said, though, it is frustrating that i have to deal with a bug in the 32-bit ALSA libraries because of both Skype and Flash. i want 64-bit binaries! - ElectricGrandpa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3If you wait a bit, I imagine Adobe will make the SDK available for Linux...
- stmiller, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Yes we need ppc flash. PPC Linux uses the same libraries, same everything. Why can't they just compile a version for us? Maybe after a PS3 Linux boom demand will be more intense.
- Wordlet, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3err...atdigg...i disagree with that statement..since i just went on youtube and watched a vid with it...although I do run the weekly builds opera dishes out...
While watching the vid the audio is noticably better I think it's perfect actually. - ISIfunded911, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Flashblock was the culprit.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2that didn't do it probably because /dev/dsp here is created by an external audio mixer not kernel's oss or alsa's emulation.
any way to have it use /dev/dsp directly? - ultra_lime, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Digg is awesome,
It's awesome to see that good things happening for Linux is getting attention. I hope this will only excite other developers to continue to write more for Linux.
~Aaron - stoffe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Automatix is well known to hose systems completely (especially when it's time to upgrade later, too bad, you're on your own). Just drop the .so in ~/.mozilla/plugins and you're done! Remove it and it's uninstalled.
- ISIfunded911, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Tell me more, because here (debian etch) the first beta only works well a few hours in youtube, then there is no sound, and it does not work at all with googlevideo.
- ISIfunded911, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I uninstalled flashblock and it now works fine.
Damn! Which one will I choose? Flashblock or google video? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2any idea how to get it working with oss? don't ask, in a pc i need /dev/dsp
- sremick, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Hopefully this is a sign of things to come. I am hoping that once Adobe catches-up in regards to Linux, they'll also address the fact that not everyone out there uses Windows/Mac/Linux... a fact that other companies like nVidia have already woken up to. I would love to see a native FreeBSD of Flash... along with several thousand other people:
http://new.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?flash4me - Jonty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah. Youtube playback is still a little jerky, but at least the audio doesn't go after the first 'jerk'.
- Zaggynl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Just tested this in Ubuntu Dapper
Thanks to iamcitizen for the link:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer9_update/FP9_plugin_beta_112006.tar.gz
I launched a nautilus with root rights: 'sudo nautilus' in terminal
Extracted it, renamed the /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so to libflashplayer.so_old
And pasted the new libflashplayer.so there and closed the nautilus browser.
Tested it with http://www.blackberrypearl.com/ and http://theflashblog.com/?p=181
(Got those from some 'required flash 9' googlin')
Seems to work well! - greyfade, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Flash 9 has, AFAIK, dropped support for OSS. You will have to finally give up and move on. OSS has been deprecated for YEARS.
(edit: a quick look through the strings dump shows that it does not use anything in /dev/ besides urandom and video.) - stmiller, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2@greyfade: Yes, but many programs (including Audacity) still need that oss link. So it is still needed. There is an alsa-oss emulator/wrapper now that people use. That is the package the above poster mentioned to install.
- UNL1M1T3D, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1After all those petitions they better realize their is a need for their product.
- Tanath, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Works for me. :)
Make sure you installed it properly. - Tanath, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have Flashblock as well. No problems for me.
- greyfade, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2according to the release notes, they broke Opera. sad. beta 1 worked just fine for me.
i just hope they bothered to change the audio device to default from hw:0.0 because that was just stupid. - redog, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5still no ppc-linux support
- ISIfunded911, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It was because of flashblock.
And I only have 3 extensions!
Those interacting extensions, what a mess! - cynicist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"at least some major companies care about linux"
Personally I think its an attempt to remove the need for a free flash player like gnash. They want control over their format, and apparently they are going to keep it. (if they did care, wouldn't they have released flash 8 for linux?) If you really want to support someone, try AMD. - hdante, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Content overlapping (transparent mode) still doesn't work. The plug-in still incorrectly hides important page content when using invisible roll-ups. Here are a few examples:
- http://web.infomoney.com.br/
- http://ultimosegundo.ig.com.br/
- http://www.bovespa.com.br/Principal.asp
- http://www2.natura.net/web/br/home/src/

Also, according to this link,
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137189
the bug seems to be 4 years old. I'm pretty sure that it has been
pissing me off for at least 2 years and a half. Wow. Flash 9 Player.
It's interesting to notice that three of the worst software I have in
my linux system are closed source or former closed source ones:
flash, firefox and openoffice. More open source they become, less
of a beast they are. - Jonty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You may also have to delete ~/.mozilla/pluginreg.dat
- eco2you, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I think I should try out Ubuntu, it sounds so cool :)
http://www.eco2you.co.uk - ISIfunded911, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Or maybe there is problem with flashblock?
- atrain, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Yay! Finaly they fix it!
- ISIfunded911, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1If I knew!
Maybe google banned me!?
It is a conspiracy! -
