Flash for Fedora 15 (64bit) in Chrome
Category: linux
Hey (e:Paul), did you install the beta version of the flash player from the Adobe labs website here:

It's a tarball...

Update: The new beta from Adobe labs does work thanks to (e:Paul)'s suggestions. Just untar the thing, navigate to the folder and run these commands:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/google/chrome/plugins
sudo cp libflashplayer.so /opt/google/chrome/plugins/

Reboot.

Did you get it to work. Once you untar using tar -xvf NAMEOFTARFILE.tar then you just move the flashplayer.so file into /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins I think. If its not there just search for your mozilla plugins directory. I will post the location when I boot up my comp next.

(e:paul) - yes, you are right, I was using whatever beta was current in late May or early June.
paul - 07/30/11 22:28
I think you meant the old beta. The new Flash player 11 beta has been great.
uncutsaniflush - 07/30/11 22:03
I used the 64 bit flash beta for a while but there were too many random crashes. Right now, I'm using the 32 bit version "wrapped" . It crashes less (as in not at all) gets updated as new versions are released.

Tarballs don't get updated automagically by the Fedora update app.

What about the [usr] folder that comes with the flashplayer.so file? Does that go in some folder as well?
paul - 07/30/11 13:32
Ya its so easy and that one works well. You just have to remember to move the flashplayer so file into the 64 bit browser plugin folder.

Music.
Category: music
I haven't been listening to enough lately... and I haven't been discovering any radically different artists lately. My average discovery rate usually hovers around 10-20 new artists every month but the last several months have been musical cesspits, more or less.

I can't stand any vocals in my music nowadays because it ruins the background concentration value. Heavy metal is ruled out for a while (except instrumental versions). Familiar selections of classical music have been getting an inordinate amount of playtime. Maybe it's time to delve into neoclassical and re-interpretations. I wonder if anyone has re-interpreted Chopin, my absolute favourite in romantic piano.

Or classical ballet. For example, I don't think I have ever heard the complete works of Leó Delibes and Ludwig Minkus before or any of their contemporaries who shaped the music of the ballet.

This reminds me I want to make a video of me singing death Metal... What I would do is say something nice like Keith is walking on the grass.... Then growl it..... Then go looking on the sunny side of life.... and then growl that.... The type of music that gets on my nerves is where you here some pretty voice and your like awesome then growl .......

I could totally see why everyone is fascinated with snapping pics of our bike-boom-boxing resident 7 footer.

But I don't get this (e:Paul)-Paranoia-look(TM). What is that about?!

I fixed the issue. Now if the original is under 800px it does not resample the image before upload.
paul - 07/29/11 18:34
Did you crop or resize those to begin with.
metalpeter - 07/29/11 18:26
That First picture is perfect to be an animated Character ....

No (e:peeps) have invites to share? I really would like this. I'm so sick of moving my music collection every freakin' time I change computers.
paul - 07/29/11 17:54
I take it back, I just saw the email. See my latest blog (e:paul,54814)
