Has anyone tried the new flash player beta for Linux?
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html
I can't get it to work on CentOS 6.8, ff 45.3.0-1, all x86_64. ff's pluginreg.dat shows the plugin is [INVALID], which is often a sign of bitness-mismatch, but that's not the case here.
$ tail -n 3 pluginreg.dat [INVALID] /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so:$ 1474541270000:$ $ file /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped $ strings /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so | grep FlashPlayer_23 FlashPlayer_23_0_0_179_FlashPlayer $ rpm -q firefox firefox-45.3.0-1.el6.centos.x86_64 $
I have it working on a different Linux system, not CentOS, with ff 48.0.1.
I've been using it -- currently ..._179 -- (sparingly) on a -7 machine with the default (firefox-45.3.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64) ff.
Looks like it's compiled against a later version of glibc:
ldd libflashplayer.so | grep "not found"
ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for `./libflashplayer.so' ./libflashplayer.so: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by ./libflashplayer.so) ./libflashplayer.so: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by ./libflashplayer.so) ./libflashplayer.so: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./libflashplayer.so)--
FYI, this has been reported on the Adobe "Flash Player Beta Channel" forum, and I've +1ed it. I would suggest doing the same to add some more pressure on them.
