Yeah, nspluginwrapper won't work for me, since I have a full no-multilib |
| 31 |
profile. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
And yes, I had read the AMD64 FAQs before installing, and I've been happy with |
| 34 |
no-multilib for quita a while. |
| 35 |
I still have adobe flash 10.0.45.2-r2 installed, but I understand it has serius |
| 36 |
security problems, and I had to mask all higher versions. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
BTW, is anybody aware of the technical reason why the switch of profile is |
| 39 |
impossible? Can it be workarounded? |
