The crash shows an error with libgconf-2 stated as the cause. Not to mention 10 is still Alpha in portage and I don't like Alpha anything on my system.

The crash shows an error with > libgconf-2 stated as the cause. libgconf? Interesting. What version of gnome-base/gconf do you have installed? Have you tried reinstalling gconf? What error exactly do you get? > Not to mention 10 is still Alpha in portage > and I don't like Alpha anything on my system. This is untrue. There are currently two different ebuilds for version 10: net-www/netscape-flash-10.0.15.3 This is arch-stable on both x86 and amd64. It is production code actually released by Adobe. They are only actually keeping version 9 around for "old operating systems". See http://www.adobe.com/go/kb406791 for details. net-www/netscape-flash-10.0.21.1_alpha This is only available on ~amd64. It is the second alpha release by Adobe which provides the native 64-bit plugin only (and not the 32-bit plugin). Reports have been mostly good as to its stability (as good as can be expected for flash player, honestly), but it won't actually go arch-stable in portage until it is actually released by adobe and has a matching 32-bit version so I can do a true multilib install. It's probably best to embrace the future - flash-10 is here and not going away. I would personally prefer that flash went away entirely, but that's not very likely :) So how do I emerge adobe-flash 9? adobe-flash 10 is unacceptable. However, if I try to downgrade to adobe-flash 9, all I get is this fetch error. Ah yes, this happens from time to time when Adobe bumps their flash-9 release -> They do not provide a tarball with a version number (and we are legally prohibited from mirroring this with a properly named tarball), so the result of a bump before I catch it is that the fetch breaks! Thanks for the report, and I have just fixed it, by bumping flash-9 to www-plugins/adobe-flash-9.0.277.0 *** Bug 324311 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
