Hi Andre,
Flash player does not run on most 64-bit browsers and OSes.

Check this article on Adobe site – http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html

Hope this helps.

Didn’t work for me either on a fresh install of 64-bit FC 15. no error messages, it just isn’t installed in firefox or chrome.

[andre@zoidberg ~]$ su -c ‘yum install nspluginwrapper alsa-plugins-pulseaudio flash-plugin’
Password:

Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Package nspluginwrapper-1.3.2-1.fc15.x86_64 already installed and latest version

Package flash-plugin-10.3.181.14-release.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

Can you elaborate why it didn’t work for you ? It will be helpful if you can provide the exact steps you took and the error you received.

Thanks for the tip
I have used sudo in Ubuntu.
I didn’t know people used it in Fedora too. I will check it out.

Update : You can use sudo or su. Both it seems are secure. Here is the quote from the security basics page at Fedora website.

To perform administrative tasks, log in to your system with a standard user account, and use the su or sudo to run individual commands with the privileges of the root account. This ensures that only the specified commands are run with root access. The supplied configuration tools automatically prompt for the root password, if the user has not specified root access with su or sudo.
