Flash on arch64 only as root[solved]

As root user, flash player works fine in firefox(namoroka). But, as normal user, it doesn't.
I installed flash with "sudo pacman -S flashplugin".
I also tried copying the flash lib to ~/.mozilla/plugins and ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins, but without result.

Thanks!

Re: Flash on arch64 only as root[solved]

first of all, pacman output is important.

i bet it has been warning you with the message: permission different on filesystem vs package.

solution: chmod 755 /usr/lib/mozilla

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Thanks, that worked!
I did notice the pacman output, and tried chmodding /usr/lib/mozilla 700.
But ofcourse, that turned out to be the opposite of what I was trying to do.

P.S.
Unbelievable how fast I get an answer on these forums! One and a half minute...
