flash-player

Hi everyone,

I am trying to install flashplayer to firefox-3.0. I run flashplayer-installer from the extracted tar.gz. The problem is that, when I give the path /usr/lib/firefox-3.0, it is not accepted. What to do?
Thank you!

Re: flash-player

Have you tried installing it from the repositories?

sudo pacman -Sy flashplugin

_Never_ install directly from source, it will only bring you problems later.
Install flashplugin from the repo, or get flashplugin-beta from aur. The later is more stable and have lower cpu load than the former.

Re: flash-player

Just unsure, is there any flash plugin on Linux that supports transparent layers? E.G the flashes in the new Diablo3 site.

Re: flash-player

Try flashplugin-beta from the AUR. You'll have to get the EULA for it from the flashplugin-beta-opera package - I think that's the same EULA anyway, all I know is that the one that should come with the PKGBUILD simply isn't there.
