The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Installing Flash Player 10 plugin for Firefox Linux

Asked by thenos in Linux Setup, Firefox Web Browser, Fedora Linux

Tags: Alix, Linux, Flashplayer, firefox libflashplayer.so

I have purchased a Alix.3C3 LX800 board.
http://www.alix-box.info/wiki/index.php/ALIX.3C3_%3D_1_LAN_/_2_miniPCI,_LX800_/_USB_/_VGA_/_audio_/_Award_BIOS

It is running iMedia Alix Linux 6.0.4 which I am lead to believe is a cut down version of Fedora.
Is this correct? I'm fairly new to Linux and don't quite grasp all the distros yet.

I am attempting to upgrade Shockwave Flash from 9 9.0 r124 to 10.0 r22 in Firefox 3.0 using this guide:
http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=199

I completed these steps:
- Closed Firefox 3.0.
- Downloaded the 'libflashplayer.so' file from Adobe's site.
- Created a new directory called 'plugins' in '~/.mozilla' (Directory was not there originally. I  created the directory using Thunar 0.9.0 Filemanager and chmod'd it to 777 using aterm)
-Copied the libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla.
- Opened Firefox > Addons > Plugins
- Disabled Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124
- Ensured Shockwave Flash  10.0 r22 was enabled
- Restarted Firefox
- Browsed to Youtube, no video display (like Flash not installed)
- Restarted OS, tried again, same result.
- Enabled Flash 9.0, disabled 10.0, tested, Works !!! (Though very jumpy and not watchable)
- Searched far and wide, got frustrated, angry, ready to give up !!!!
- Came to Expert Exchange

Can anyone shed some light as to why Firefox won't use the Flash 10 plugin?
The reason I am upgrading is because of video performance issues with Flash 9.

I have also tried using ./flashplayer-installer.sh script from aterm but get the error:
Error: Your glibc library is older than 2.3. Please update your library.

I am certain I am running version 2.6.X or higher as I remember seeing a folder relating to glibc called 2.6.0. I can't check as 'rpm -man' returns "command not found'. Is there another way to check as I don't think RPM is supported (RedHat only???) I am lost here....
