No Sound in Firefox with Flash on x64

Boon is a 64 bit AMD box. I have the Flash plugin installed for Fedora 9. I noticed a while ago that there’s no sound in YouTube. The cure is to install libflashsupport. The trick is to use the i386 version, not x64 because Flash is only available in 32-bit running under nspluginwrapper.i386.

Expanding Space on LVM partition

I ran out of space on the /home partiton of Boon’s Fedora 9 system. It’s on a logical volume using logical volume management 2 (LVM2). To increase the space, I had to boot Fedora 8, which was on a different volume. Once booted, I ran sudo system-config-lvm. Then selected:
Volume Groups
Logical View
fedora9-home
Edit Properties
Change size to Gigabytes
Increase from 60 to 80
Apply and restart
