I had heard the Flash would work natively in 64 bit in 11.1, but the
Flash pullin, did nothing for me, and I am still having to run FF in
32bit to use Flash, (but that causes java issues)…
I’ve poked around, but I haven’t seen much on the topic. Can anyone
point me to a good resource or fill me in on how to fix things.
PS. My updater is not working, so that may explain the Flash pullin
issue, but I can see the update repository in Yast and get the updates
manually. No joy…

Odd. Even in 11.0 Flash in 64-bit FF should just work, using a nsplugin layer. In 11.1 Flash should be installed by default too. Did you not get a popup dialog asking you to accept the Adobe terms? Flash is non-OSS software and should have been pulled in from the non-OSS repo on install. What do you get when you search for flash in YaST, is it installed?

With the nsplugin, some Flash worked, some didn’t. Some things worked
sometimes, but not other times. Very aggravating. I have had to go with
Flash and 32 bit Firefox without the nsplugin. (yes, it’s all installed)

You need to download the alpha version of Flash for Linux.
You can uninstall nspluginwrapper then.
What You need after downloading flashplugin is to move it to /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/
I personally didn’t have any problems with that one even though it is an alpha version.

I had to remove the /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
line as well but leave the npwrapper.so for another plugin - flash wouldn’t
work until I also got rid of the /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so
entry. Looks like there are is some potential for some weird collisions
under some setups. Anyway, it works well now.
Bender,
I’m adding to your reputation! I had nothing but problems with flash64 after d’lding it. After reading your post it became so obvious!
I went into YAST clicked to delete nspluginwrapper it said something about deinstalling an item, then uninstalled a bunch of stuff & installed others. Now I have Flash64 working for me in 11.1 the same way it did in 11.0 Thanks Bender!
I’m glad it helped
I did it just because i don’t like having unnecessary packages and since i was using native 64 bit flash (and also Java plugin which works without a hitch) i uninstalled nspluginwrapper as it was no longer necessary

Where do I find this? The Adobe site just points me to the regular version.

I had to go back to a Nov /. article, but I got it. The first attempt
had something called npwrapper (not ns) hijack it, and it didn’t work.
After the second attempt, no npwrapper and so far so good.
