how to install adobe flash player
how to install adobe flash player
good evening,
Many instances of 'install flash plugins'; when I proceed to the downloading,I get a message 'failed'-install manually. I proceed to do that, and get a 'libflashplayer.so' file. Can't do anything with that. Now what? Any ideas?...Thanks

Re: how to install adobe flash player
Heres what I did. I went youtube.com and they provide direct link to adobe flash to get the download. Download the .deb package for Ubuntu. Then go into the terminal and run
su
password
cd (Downloads or where ever you downloaded the flash package to)
dir
dpkg -i (package name.deb)
Ok. There may be some dependencies here. Read the log real careful and then do the following
aptitude -f install (dependency file) [these dependencies can be seperated by hitting the space bar. They will vary depending on how your machine is set up]
After the is done then run the dpkg -i (package nam.deb)
I'm a beginner. This works fine on two of my machines. Gurus please chime in to make any corrections.
Java is going to be needed eventually too. That is provided in the Debian packages. Just type:
aptitude search java
Then :
aptitude -f install (package) [here again you can install JDK and Java Plugins separated by the space bar. You should be up and running pretty quick]

Re: how to install adobe flash player
This is nice. So, what your are saying is the Debian has a regular package for adobe-flash??? As far as the Java thing goes, it was a freebee.refracta wrote:...and now you will always need to keep track of newer versions yourself and repeat that every time a newer version is released.Steelaworkn wrote:Heres what I did.

Re: how to install adobe flash player
My humble understanding is that the backports are unstable. So, as a beginner with Debian, I was avoiding that. I'm not really into testing with this version of Linux. That's why I have Fedora in another set-up.

Re: how to install adobe flash player
backports are certainly preferred to downloading some random deb and hammering it in...and stable backports are made for debian stable...although they may have had less testing for issues they certainly have had more testing than a deb you download for ubuntu...Steelaworkn wrote:My humble understanding is that the backports are unstable.
flash is non-free software anyway so nobody can really vouch for the quality or stability anyway...except adobe...yea right....

Re: how to install adobe flash player
Interesting choice of words i.e. "hammering". Acutally, it's in there and it works with very little effort on my part. The next build I do, I'll make sure I do the backport thing. I'll have to read up a little more on how to add new .deb packs to my source list though, unless you want to pass out a freebee.

Re: how to install adobe flash player
This is the way I do it : go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Select version to download, choose .tar.gz for linux.
Unpack : tar xf install_flash_player_10_linux You will get : libflashplayer.so
Move to your .mozilla directory ( in your home directory ). Create a folder named "plugins". Move libflashplayer.so into that folder. You're done.
Select version to download, choose .tar.gz for linux.

Re: how to install adobe flash player
Hmmm...now this is a method that is sure not to update with the regular system. I've done this before but not in Debian. And this works for you??eric1959 wrote:This is the way I do it : go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Re: how to install adobe flash player
Hi,
Topic got diluted. I have installed swfdec-gnome,swfdec-mozilla & flashplugin-nonfree ( from non-free).
Installation require simple aptitude or synaptic. But I failed to see youtube vidoes.
May http://www.debian-multimedia.org help us, but may compromise with the system( ?).
Now how to see youtube vidoes?
Thanks,

Re: how to install adobe flash player
remove the swfd stuff again. its a try. perhaps reinstall flashplugin-nonfree after that.
you need to restart iceweasel (or the web-browser you are using).
edit: it might be that the "proper" (-> professional) way to deal with such situations is to use update-alternatives, i`m not sure. and i wouldn`t know how it is done.

I think your Fedora setup is great, but I don't really care!
Same goes for the M$ setup you haven't mentioned yet.
Wanna know why your having trouble with Debian?
The Guru/Grumps keep trying to tel you.
And you keep trying to ignore them.
Just try keeping this thought in mind as you're steelaworkin, K
It should work this way because?
