Re: flash problems in 64bit

Did you follow the instructions after installing nspluginwrapper?

nspluginwrapper -v -a -i

and make sure there are no errors

when u install ndispluginwrapper the terminal displays some output that u need to follow. How about a wiki page?

Re: flash problems in 64bit

bash-3.2# nspluginwrapper -v -a -i

[brandon@myhost ~]$ nspluginwrapper -v -a -i

The above gave away the fact that you were using root to install, so I would uninstall nsplugwrapper as both root AND user, then install it again as user only. Before you install as user, make sure you do:

mkdir -p /home/brandon/.mozilla/plugins
