The current latest Flash for GNU/Linux requires SSE2 instructions in the CPU, this is not present in AMD CPUs before the Athlon 64. My son is reasonably successfully using a previous version (11.1.102.62 I believe). on an old AMD CPU to access the Cbeebies website. So probably the one to go with if your CPU lacks sse2 and you want flash, and Gnash isn't doing it for you. Security concerns may apply (although probably not if your PC is mainly used for pre-school games). https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3161034 Check /proc/cpuinfo to see if the CPU has sse2 support. "sse" will exist, but "sse2" is only in more recent AMD CPUs. Most executables enable code to work around lack of sse2 where required, but not the recent flash releases for reasons unclear. # cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep sse flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe pebs bts cid xtpr flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe pebs bts cid xtpr -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
