Flash 11 beta is distributed with a kcm module to configure the player through systemsettings.
For all the skeptics, here are some screenshots :
The entry in systemsettings :

This is a great effort from adobe, so I would like to point it out.

THIS IS WAS A LONG TIME! YOU SLOWPOKE!
It’s been there since 10.3, at least in my machine
wow
Great, great news… is there also news of when the 64 bit Flash 11 will actually be ready? Been waiting a few years, so what difference does a few more months make, right?
Wow, that’s really surprising! Why does Adobe invest money in this? I mean, they’ll probably have a reason, and I’d really like to know it!
Great news. But the real news is when with the 64-bit Flash 11 actually arrive?
nice!
That’s a pretty good efford from adobe.
I’m pretty impressed with there Adobe Air installer, which seems to integrate pretty well with debians package manager by adding the package to the package manager under “Obsolete and Locale Created Packages”. It’s just to bad that they have decided to end Linux support for Adobe Air just as I found a use for it.
It’s really good to see that software like that begins to integrate well with the Linux/KDE desktop. Chromium uses kwallet under KDE, which is very nice.
Flash Player 10.3 has the same entry for KDE Systemsettings. So no news really to me.
Flash player 10.3 seriously? I see no kcmodule on my laptop (I use flash 10 on it) . Well, It’s a good new anyway
Maybe it exists only on 32bit installations.
I have 10.3.181.34 installed for around a month (btw, I need to update it) and it does contain kcm module.
Where is the “don’t crash and freeze everything so I can’t een switch to a new terminal” check box?
I did see the kcm-module and thought is was the work of the kde project, good work Adobe.
+1
This has been an option for a good few months and as other posts mention, it’s been out since 10.3x
For me, it doesn’t make any sense if flash still depends of GTK+.
I have the 64-bit flash plugin. I have never seen this… Is it a 32-bit thing only? Running Fedora 15.
Depending on the distro probably… don’t know…
For me too: it doesn’t make any sense if flash still depends of GTK+.
Who needs Flash, anyway?
Just don’t use any other video site than YouTube and you’re all set *g*
This is actually a horrible effort:
1. The KCM is 32-bit only and so doesn’t work at all in 64-bit KDE Plasma. You cannot load 32-bit KCMs into 64-bit System Settings.
2. The KCM is not categorized properly, it shows up under “lost&found” (“objets trouvés” in your French screenshot). They must have tested this only with some ancient version of KDE System Settings with different classification, not with any even remotely current version.
3. They decided to hide the GTK+ configuration tool from the KDE Plasma menu as a result of this, which means that 64-bit users are left with no discoverable way to configure Flash at all. (They have to run the GTK+ tool from the command line.)
Just the usual (crap) quality you can expect from proprietary software.
The only thing that I’d qualify as a “great effort” would be to make Flash Free Software. Unfortunately, I don’t see it happening, so I can only strongly recommend not to use Flash. (And in fact, I don’t have Flash installed.)
The KCM is not 32-bit only :
$ readelf -h /usr/lib/kde4/kcm_adobe_flash_player.so | grep Class
Class: ELF64
$ readelf -h /usr/lib/kde4/kcm_adobe_flash_player.so | grep Machine
Machine: Advanced Micro Devices X86-64
=> and it works perfectly here, on a 64bit system
I mean, it was probably 32-bit only with flash 10, but it’s not the case anymore.
Wow, that is awesome!! Great work by Adobe!
the module do not complaint any standard and breaks all kde and freedesktop.org standars
this its only a eye candy stuff, real work over compatibility, stability and sound/ALSA right work are left aside by adobe
On the one hand this is good, it will make Linux distributions a little bit more easier to use for beginners, and it is a little bit easier to convince people to use it.
On the other hand it is completely wrong to say Adobe would doing a great job, no they are not, Flash is proprietary and not especially exciting, simply do not use it! I do not have it installed, some scripts, especially for Youtube, that is enough, but there are also “user friendly” alternatives like MiniTube or JDownloader or Miro… And there are now many websites using HTML5-video, probably because of Apple’s policy, that is a good effect of Apple, but no reason to say Apple would be doing a great job, that would be completely wrong as well.
Next time resize the System Settings window smaller than 1500×900 and use KSnapshot’s “Window under cursor” mode
It’s nice Adobe delivered this integration.
This is a topic which is near to my heart… Thank you!
Where are your contact details though?
What i don’t realize is in truth how you’re now not really much more neatly-favored than you may be right now. You’re very intelligent. You recognize thus considerably relating to this topic, produced me in my view consider it from numerous numerous angles. Its like women and men aren’t fascinated unless it’s one thing to do with Woman gaga! Your own stuffs excellent. At all times handle it up!
