To install Adobe Flash
1. Make sure you are connected to the Internet
2. Open the "Terminal" activity . This is a pre-installed program found in the Activities taskbar at the bottom of your Home View. You may need to scroll through the Activities taskbar by using the right arrow icon at the bottom of your screen (
) to find the
icon.
3. At the command prompt, login as root by typing
su -
4. Then type this to install the latest working version (version 48) of Adobe Flash. Some sites suggest using the latest version #115, but 115 does not work with Opera on the XO. To install version 48 type the following:
wget flash9048.notlong.com rpm -i flash-plugin-9.0.48.0-release.i386.rpm
Note that http://flash9048.notlong.com is simply an alias for http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/flash-plugin-9.0.48.0-release.i386.rpm for ease of typing.
To uninstall:
1. open the Terminal activity;
2. remove flashplayer by typing:
su - yum remove flash-plugin-9.0.48.0-release
or
su - yum remove flash-plugin-9.0.115.0-release
depending on the version you installed.
Advanced options
To avoid the Click to play prompt when playing flash in the browser remove the two files:
/usr/share/activities/Web.activity/agent-stylesheet.css /usr/share/activities/Web.activity/clickToView.xml
using Terminal:
su - cd /usr/share/activities/Web.activity mkdir bak mv agent-stylesheet.css bak mv clickToView.xml bak
undo using Terminal:
su - cd /usr/share/activities/Web.activity/bak cp agent-stylesheet.css .. cp clickToView.xml ..
Older versions of flash are available here:
