Wow! I can verify it works, with sound, on my 64-bit Debian Lenny LTSP server simply by uninstalling nspluginwrapper, closing Iceweasel, and copying libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins.

Thanks Adobe - now how about open sourcing that $*#*(# $*@()#!! ;)

I am using FF44b6

Code: Select all

root# ls -la "/opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Resources/libflashplayer.so"
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11950976 Jul 22 10:11 /opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Resources/libflashplayer.so
root# ls -la /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Sep 19 01:22 /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so -> /root/flash/libflashplayer.so
root# ls -la /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Sep 19 01:26 /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so -> /root/flash/libflashplayer.so
root~# ls -la /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10601968 Sep 19 01:34 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
One of these settings worked with both Minefield and Iceweasel. I am suspecting /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/. Where i had to manually copy the file rather than symlink if it is the winner.

http://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer
Debian 5.0 'Lenny' amd64

In September 2010 Adobe announced Flash Player "Square". As of September 17 it is a fully working preview release.

Flash Player Square Installation

First remove the version you may have installed (it's probably a 32 bit version or too old):

$ apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree nspluginwrapper (the same applies to the 32bit version from debian-multimedia)

Get the Flash Player "Square" binary from Adobe (look for the Download plug-in for 64-bit Linux (TAR.GZ, 4.1 MB) link.

Extract the tar ball:

$ tar xvzf flashplayer_square_p1_64bit_linux_091510.tar.gz

As root copy the extracted file to the mozilla plugins folder(this will work with Google Chrome as well):

$ cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
Raspberry PI 400 Distro: Raspberry Pi OS Base: Debian Sid Kernel: 5.15.69-v8+ aarch64 DE: MATE Ram 4GB

Hi there, first post here :-)

I've followed the instructions from the flash player Debian wiki page and the sound does not work. I've also tried the "square" flash player version from Adobe directly (now there's a .deb in the wiki) and the results are the same (obviously, since the .deb only automates the process but does not change other things).

I'm using "squeeze" and the KDE 4.5 repositories. Anyone has a clue of what can be happening? Or has the same symptoms?

Thanks in advance!
Álex

Whoops!

I just read this thread via google and didn't know it's under the Howto/Docs subforum. Sorry for the previous support question, I'll move it to other (more appropiate) subforum. Now I understand why there's a forum etiquette you must read before the first post :-(

Hmmm...can anyone confirm that the new 10.2 version causes QTWebkit based browsers, such as Arora and ReKonq, to segfault as soon as they hit some Flash content? The Sid version has a patch to fix the issue for Flash 10.1, but 10.2 causes the same crash.

Well, yeah...just backported the QT 4.6.3 from Sid for a Lenny-based distro, saw a new release of Arora 0.11.0 that would use the new QT Webkit, reused the /debian folder from the Debian 0.10.0 version to build 0.11.0, only to get immediate crashes on the 64-bit--but it seems to be due to this issue. Since Rekonq may be the default browser for Kubuntu Maverick, this may be causing some trouble.

Nerdy backporters note:

* (had an "lrelease" error building Arora---turns out I had both QT 3 and QT4 build tools installed. Solved by running

su -c 'update-alternatives --config lrelease'

and making the QT 4 version the default)

Is it this bug?
http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-4932

That has been recently solved in QT 4.7. I can confirm it works on Arch with the latest Flash Square.

Did Adobe remove the 64 bit version again or am I missing something? http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html

All I see is
Download plug-in for 32-bit Linux (TAR.GZ, 4.7 MB)
Download plug-in debug for 32-bit Linux (TAR.GZ, 5.1 MB)

Also, some of the packages mentioned in the OP don't seem to exist anymore:

Code: Select all

No candidate version found for ia32-libs-libnss3
No candidate version found for ia32-libs-libcurl3
No candidate version found for ia32-libs-libnss3

I'm pretty sure my sources are right, and I've updated
