Re: Flashplayer!

"pacman -S flashplugin" is supposed to work.  Do you have the extra repository enabled?  How does it *not* work?  Are there errors?

Re: Flashplayer!

Are you using the x86_64 variant of Arch? If so, you'll find that flashplayer doesn't currently work.

as of right now I do believe, unfortunately, that you are SOL.

Re: Flashplayer!

I am an arch64 user. unfortunately, because Adobe Flash is proprietary and they haven't released an official 64-bit linux flash plugin, you will need to use the plugin wrapper or switch to an open-source plugin like gnash.
