Re: Hmm, new 64bit Flash plugin ?!

What sites have you tested Lightspark with? Does it work with YouTube for example?

Working here too. Also plays a lot better with fullscreen on xmonad - without overly fancy workarounds.

Will the new 64Bit Flash hit the repro soon?

Not unless Adobe makes it an official release. Normally Arch policy has always been to put stable versions in the official repos. Anything else goes into AUR. and flashplugin-square is already in AUR.

So install it and use it if it works for you.

Re: Hmm, new 64bit Flash plugin ?!

Works great here.

I tested it because today's upgrade of multilib flashplugin along with nspluginwrapper and all those lib32 packages provided me with a unusuable crashy-crappy flash. Has this happened to someone else?

Anyone know when this one is going to hit the repos?

Re: Hmm, new 64bit Flash plugin ?!

don't know about that. I uninstalled flashplugin before I installed square.

Full screen you tube still doesn't work for me. But now I am suspecting its more of a problem with my WM than flash. I'll have to try installing another WM and see if that works.

Works nicely here installed from aur.  Removed one file in /usr to trash due to conflict.

Latest "alpha" of flash 64 bits was in the official repos for a long time if my memory doesn't fail me.

Anyways this beta is a better option than nspluginwrapper + lib32 libs i would upload it to extra repo.

I hope google-earth and skype release soon 64 bits versions of their programs.

Re: Hmm, new 64bit Flash plugin ?!

Works pretty good. However, it won't work with the "equipment" page in the darkorbit.com game. I've no idea why -- it loads all the other Flash stuff I've tested with the game. But if I can't change my ship's equipment, then it's back to the "old" flash.

Re: Hmm, new 64bit Flash plugin ?!

YouTube works perfectly with it, but google-talkplugin does not. It fails to detect my sound and microphone, and no picture comes up (google-talkplugin does work with the 32-bit version of the flash player).

Works well on Hulu.  Last time I checked Hulu would pick up its toys and leave when It saw a Linux client.

Hardware acceleration? I don't know if there is or not, but there is an option in settings with a checkbox next to it to supposedely enables/disables it. Doesnt mean its there but interesting in any case.

There was/is a little discussion about that on the German forums. The videos are now stored in your browser's cache.

Re: Hmm, new 64bit Flash plugin ?!

YES! Mine actually asked to update automatically with my -Syu update today. I was previously having flash issues due to some update over the past month or so, and now flash is again working great with the latest Chromium build on my 64-bit install. Very happy so far.

:confused:

I do see what I believe to be the plugin that this thread talks about, but it's not in the official repos yet... it's in the AUR.

@banshee - are you sure you're using the new 64-bit native and not just the lib32 one?  When I ask pacman to install flashplugin it wants to bring down 60 MB of lib32 stuff...

Eh? That's never been true... hulu only allows the latest flash version. So if you went multilib, you'd be able to use hulu.

Never? I don't know what's true now, but it certainly was at one time true that Hulu automatically rejected 64-bit linux version of flash, even the version that was latest at the time (even before Adobe abandoned it).

Re: Hmm, new 64bit Flash plugin ?!

as far as I know, i Have the nspluginwrapper+ flashplugin 32bit.. i did a pacman -Syu, it updated flash..
I noticed there's an x86_64 new flash plugin update.. how do i know which one updated? did it automatically
give me the 64bit? or do i have to uninstall one, then install the other? i did a pacman -Ss flashplugin..
only one came up, the one i have installed..  any suggestions?

Re: Hmm, new 64bit Flash plugin ?!

you need to uninstall flashplugin from the multilib and install flashplugin-prerelease from AUR to get the 64 bit version
