Description Dave Hodgins 2011-07-14 09:45:00 CEST
As per http://linux.slashdot.org/story/11/07/14/0210259/Adobe-Released-64-bit-Flash-For-Linux?utm_source=rss1.0&utm_medium=feed
flash 11 is being released.  Note that it has both i586 and x86-64 versions available.

http://digitizor.com/2011/07/14/install-64-bit-flash-11-ubuntu-11-04/
describes how to install it on ubuntu.  I haven't yet found any downloads
available on the adobe.com site.
Comment 1 Sander Lepik 2011-07-14 09:47:19 CEST
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer11.html It's in beta, but might be still good for 64-bit systems where at the moment is nothing. Better beta than nothing.

Comment 2 Dave Hodgins 2011-07-15 09:00:41 CEST
Apparently (from a thread in cam.misc,comp.os.linux.misc, there are some
sites such as
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/india/8636111/Mumbai-blasts-coordinated-attack-by-terrorists-says-minister.html

that are working in the 32 bit version of flashplayer11, that are not working
with the 64 bit version.

It may be better to continue to use the 32 bin version for both versions
of Mageia.
Comment 3 Ahmad Samir 2011-07-15 10:04:07 CEST
I think offering only the 64bit version of 11 beta1 is a good idea. The 32bit version will still be there for the odd web site that doesn't work with 64bit 11, users can install whichever they want.

Not having to use nspluginwrapper, or a 32bit browser on a 64bit system is an improvement.

@ennael: any objections about providing 64bit 11 beta 1 in mga1? ExclusiveArch: x86_64, we keep the stable 32bit flash for i586.

Not having to use Square is an improvement. Flash Player 11 beta working fine here, i'm all for it.

Flash Player 11.0.1.152 has been pushed to mga1 nonfree/updates_testing.

Advisory:
============
According to Adobe, Adobe Flash Player 11.0.1.152 contains new features as well as enhancements and bug fixes related to security, stability, performance.

This release also includes a native 64-bit plugin, and that is now available in the x86_64 version of the flash-player-plugin package. 64-bit flash-player-plugin-kde is now also provided.

Users of the 32-bit (i586) plugin package on x86_64 installations are advised to remove the i586 flash-player-plugin package and install the x86_64 flash-player-plugin package instead, for optimal performance and stability.
To check if you have the i586 or x86_64 version of the flash-player-plugin installed, you can use the Install & Remove Software tool (RPMDrake) and search for flash-player-plugin, or run this command in a terminal:
rpm -q --qf '%{arch}\n' flash-player-plugin

============

Updated Flash Player 11.0.1.152 packages are in mga1 nonfree/updates_testing
as flash-player-plugin and flash-player-plugin-kde, on both i586 and x86_64.

Advised tests to run:
1. Check that Flash applet works.
2. Check that right-clicking an applet and selecting "Global settings" opens the settings dialog.
3. If on KDE, check that the above works both with and without flash-player-plugin-kde package.

Comment 12 Michel Morisot 2011-10-06 08:50:38 CEST
Hello,

A) On firefox 7

1° No flash-player-plugin-kde

- Full screen works. Even when using the function of plasma netbook that can put the pages in miniature in the background, full screen is still operational when one puts the window in the foreground. What was not the case before.

- Check That year applet right-clicking and Selecting "Global settings" opens the settingsalog. 

-> It does not open.


2° Flash-player-plugin-kde

Same thing no problem.

- Check That year applet right-clicking and Selecting "Global settings" opens the settingsalog. 

-> It opens out the module "flash-player-plugin-kde" 

B) On konqueror, I can not launch a flash video.


PS: system 32 bits, kde 4.6.5

All works on x86_64 with firefox 7 or epiphany (gnome)
Comment 14 Michel Morisot 2011-10-06 11:32:47 CEST
HELLO,



Is it normal that it is marked r1 (release candidate 1?) -> Shockwave Flash 11.0 FlashShockwave r1

Or then the r1 = final ?
Comment 15 Florian Hubold 2011-10-06 12:50:40 CEST
RC normally stands for Release Candidate. R1 seems to stand for Release 1.
This is the first final release for Flash Player 11, you should ask that to Adobe why they put that r1 there.
Comment 16 Anssi Hannula 2011-10-06 13:21:08 CEST
It stands for the third component of the version (X in 11.0.X.Y), which is 1 in this case.
Comment 17 Luan Pham 2011-10-06 18:23:17 CEST
So far it work just fine for both i586 and x86_64 Mageia 1 installation.

CC: (none) => pham182b

Comment 18 David GEIGER 2011-10-06 18:55:51 CEST
Tested on Mageia release 1 (Official) for x86_64 and it work perfectly. 

For me it's good.

-Flash-player-11 work correctly.
-Integration KDE work correctly too.

Did you restart Firefox after installing/upgrading flash-player-plugin?
Did you wait several seconds (there is a delay on opening the settins dialog)?

If so, can you try again, and select Global settings several times if it doesn't open the first time?
Comment 20 Michel Morisot 2011-10-07 08:32:35 CEST

I tried again by erasing flash-plugin-kde. The "global settings" does not open

I reinstalled "flash-plugin-kde", the window "global settings" opens soon
Comment 21 Dave Hodgins 2011-10-07 09:37:21 CEST
As usual, tested at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
and youtube.com, in both firefox and opera.

I also noticed the kde application is now under systemsettings/Network
and Connectivity, instead of the root of systemsettings.

Update validated.

Can someone from the sysadmin team push the srpm
flash-player-plugin-11.0.1.152-1.mga1.nonfree.src.rpm

Comment 22 Samuel Verschelde 2011-10-07 10:40:43 CEST
As we have no means to make those advisories visible to the user for now, maybe we should add a README.urpmi that explains how to do for 64 bits users ?

CC: (none) => stormi

Comment 23 Samuel Verschelde 2011-10-07 22:19:54 CEST
I got those messages during installation:

Adobe Flash Player installation successful.
nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

What does it mean?
Comment 24 Anssi Hannula 2011-10-08 00:04:12 CEST
/var/lib/rpm/filetriggers/nspluginwrapper.script tries to wrap 64-bit flash plugin even while we our nspluginwrapper doesn't have a x86_64 npviewer built and thus doesn't support 64-bit plugins even on x86_64.

That is a separate bug (of nspluginwrapper), and the solution would be to a) make the script ignore 64-bit plugins if there is no 64-bit npviewer, or b) add 64-bit npviewer.
Comment 25 Anssi Hannula 2011-10-08 00:06:01 CEST
As for README.urpmi, it is IMHO unfeasible to this as it would be shown for 32-bit users as well.

However, we can add a simple warning in stderr (even if GUI updater still doesn't show it). I'll consider that for the next update.

Does this need another bug report, or is it already on someone's todo list?
Comment 27 Anssi Hannula 2011-10-08 00:14:45 CEST
Florian Hubold might be looking into it, but a bug report wouldn't hurt I guess.
Comment 28 Samuel Verschelde 2011-10-08 00:25:06 CEST
Ok, I'll let someone who understands the problem create it.
Comment 29 Dave Hodgins 2011-10-08 01:01:39 CEST
As comment 23 is a separate problem, not directly related to this update,
and comment 22 is not a regression, lets go ahead and validate the update.

Adobe Flash Player 11.0.1.152 contains new features as well
as enhancements and bug fixes related to security, stability, performance.

This release also includes a native 64-bit plugin, and that is now available in
the x86_64 version of the flash-player-plugin package. 64-bit
flash-player-plugin-kde is now also provided.

Users of the 32-bit (i586) plugin package on x86_64 installations are advised
to remove the i586 flash-player-plugin package and install the x86_64
flash-player-plugin package instead, for optimal performance and stability.
To check if you have the i586 or x86_64 version of the flash-player-plugin
installed, you can use the Install & Remove Software tool (rpmdrake) and search
for flash-player-plugin, or run this command in a terminal:
rpm -q --qf '%{arch}\n' flash-player-plugin
