Why is it that Firefox will not see a flash document. In 11.4 it worked correctly and in 12.1 it fails This is a 64bit machine and I have tried openSuSE flash in /usr/lib64/browser-plugin and it never has worked here. So I have downloaded a flash plugin that works like crazy as "root" but not as a "user". My guess is it is a permission issue. Has anyone fixed this issue. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb@comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Skype:n5xwbg BMWMOA #:4146 Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Which version of Flash? 11.0.1.60 (Square)? 10.3.181.34? Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Sorry for the delay. I just installed openSUSE 12.1 M3 and Flash Square Beta (11.0.1.60) and had no problem. The default permissions should be ok, read/write for root and just read for everyone else. This release of Flash also contains a usr folder that you should copy over to your root partition. Do you have the same problem with other browsers? Is libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib64/browser-plugins (plural)?

You may also wish to know that there is now a 12.0 64-bit Flash player - considering the latest stable is 11.3 I would argue that you are better off using the 12.0 beta than the 11.0 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Your version numbers are one too high. According to [0], 10.3 is the most recent stable version of flash. And also according to [1], 11.0.1.60 is the most recent unstable version. I couldn't find any mention of a version 12 Flash Player with Google or on the Adobe website. I love the end of your email addresses btw :) [0] http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ [1] http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplatformruntimes/flashplayer11/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
