Flash On Fedora 9

Thought it might be useful to post my method for getting flash running after a recent upgrade to  Fedora 9. The install comes with Firefox 3 beta 5 with no flash support and the instructions to install flash from Adobe didn’t work out on my server. With the help of google, and about ten different fixes I could find out there  - I’ve assembled the best of the best for running stable flash on Fedora 9.

So… Without further ado:

[this should work for any x86_64 machine]

From terminal as root.

yum install gnash-plugin

yum install libflashsupport.i386 nspluginwrapper.i386 -y

yum install flash-plugin -y

Make sure everything is setup right with:

mozilla-plugin-config -i -g -v

Restart your browser.

Enjoy Flash on Fedora 9.

By the way, I’m very happy with FC 9 so far - Except for KDE 4. It’s unneccesarily over the top and didn’t run well for me.
