If you still want to use this approach, and are using a legacy copy of Firefox (Firefox ESR, for instance) then you might encounter issues with this approach until you seek and install the 2.0 revisons of packages libevent-core and libevent-pthreads.
To see the older version, simply view the previous edit of this thread. Since this has happened, I’m forced to revise this. Google effectively broke the browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash plugin with version 54 of Google Chrome, since they’ve seem to have discontinued Pepper Flash support there (as in, it’s not even in /opt/google!) everything is broken now and you’re forced to do things a little differently. Everything (at least when not using the Freshwrapper PPA) will be explained in-depth below. Choose what you want to prioritize, then perform either of the steps below. The other may not keep you current as quickly. Eventually, they won't work on Linux's out of date AIR.Before going any further, understand that there are two ways of doing this. If you're fond of AIR-based applications like the twhirl social network client, it's long past time to look for alternatives. In a technical whitepaper, the company also states that " Adobe will not be contributing the AIR for Linux SDK, LCDS, or LCCS to Apache." So I wouldn't hold out any real hope for an open-sourced version of AIR. The sadly out of date Air 2.6 is still available for Linux, but "Adobe has discontinued support for Adobe AIR for Linux operating systems." This has also been coming for a while Adobe stopped releasing new versions of AIR on Linux back on June 14 2011. Firefox Linux users, however, will not be able to use the up-to-date versions of Flash with Firefox, Opera, or other Web browsers.Īdobe, however, also states that it will be providing a debug player implementation of the Flash Player browser plug-in on Linux." Adobe isn't saying, yet, how this will be distributed.Īs for Adobe AIR, it's now officially dead.
#ADOBE PEPPER FLASH PLAYER TRUST MAC OS X#
This indicates that say Firefox users on Windows or Mac OS X who don't want to download the full Adobe Flash Player will still be able to use Flash within their browsers. Fortunately for Linux users, Adobe says it will continue to provide security updates to non-Pepper distributions of Flash Player 11.2 on Linux for five years from its release.Īdobe will also continue to support browsers using non-Pepper plug-in APIs for Flash on platforms other than Linux. Eventually, with the rise of HTML5 video, we won't need Flash support, but today many sites still offer video only in the Flash format.įlash has become only too well known recently for security holes. This has been coming for a while Adobe abandoned Flash for 64-bit Linux back in 2010. According to Adobe, "For Flash Player releases after 11.2, the Flash Player browser plug-in for Linux will only be available via the 'Pepper' API as part of the Google Chrome browser distribution and will no longer be available as a direct download from Adobe." Pepper is currently an experimental feature of Chromium and Google Chrome. PPAPI is a cross-platform API for plug-ins for Web browsers. Pepper is the name for the Pepper Plug-in Application Programming Interface (PPAPI). Google will begin distributing this new Pepper-based Flash Player as part of Chrome on all platforms, including Linux, later this year. Thereafter, the Flash Player browser plug-in for Linux will only be available via a "Pepper" implementation of Flash Player for all x86/64 platforms supported by the Google Chrome browser.
