Adobe flashplayer gone down?
Did an update, no idea if that has anything to do with it, not anything to do with flashplayer that I noticed but could have been perhaps, and flashplayer has gone down. So no videos from youtube etc.
Code:
fido:/home/lugo# /usr/sbin/update-flashplugin-nonfree --install Code:
fido:/home/lugo# apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree Anybody know what this is about? Has Adobe suddenly gone down the tubes for 64 bit or something? |
At this point flashpugin-nonfree is useless on amd64. Adobe no longer supports the 64 bit player. See this bug report http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=586273
Howto get Adobe Flash working in 64bit - http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=53036 |
Thanks for the heads-up Craig,and the link to the guide for nspluginwrapper.
Worked great for me. |

Unhappily still does not work. No youtube for example. Unless the problem with Adobe happened yesterday - adobe did something yesterday - it is presumably me updating my Debian backport that buggered things up. Bit ignorant but is there some way of going back to previous? |
aptitude install flashplayer-mozilla
I changed the howto, no reason to wget the file when you can install it using aptitude Also make sure you use stable and not squeeze if you aren't running squeeze. |

If someone looks up this thread it might be helpful that installing VirtualBox software computer and then installing Debian Lenny 5 i386, i.e. 32 bit into virtual box and then installing the backport as it says on the Debian wiki, flashplugin-nonfree. Sorts things out. You may use flashplayer inside the virtual computer.
Unhappily when trying to use BBC iplayer, a resource demanding thing, then, on my quite powerful box, the picture is a bit jerky on full screen. This did not happen outside virtual box. |
Just another conspiracy theory
OK
Maybe I'm just stoopid paranoid after spending a whole day installing 3 different distros and getting the same ridiculous result: No flashplayer NO FLASH Period Then about 11PM I gave up and re-installed Ubuntu Natty Heck I KNOW adobe-flashplugin works on that right? After all...I have Natty on my 3 other computers So I install Natty...updates 'n all What do ya know? "flashplugin has crashed" etc...etc In disgust I grab libflashplayer.so from /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/ On one of my other 'puters Copy it to this one...overwriting the file there Zambo wongo It works!!!! ! Considering the percentage of users for whom flash is of vital importance (Heck I might croak without my Southpark fix) It would be pretty easy for adobe to sabotage the thing Making it unusable in Linux Making Linux completely undesirable Windozed yet again? More dirty tricks? More corporate hooliganism? All I know is... I'm saving this plugin and sitting on it Long term |
You resurrected a two year old thread. Flash works just fine if you install it properly.
on Ubuntu apt-get install flashplugin-installer on Debian apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree or apt-get install flashplayer-mozilla using the dmo repo |
duh...no
wow...golly
thx a million Only been running Linux since friggin modem days Guess I have NO idea what I'm doing "apt-get install flashplugin-installer" who woulda thunk it? What would I do without you're in-"f"-able wisdom thx agin |
It must be getting cold and damp in the lair. The trolls have emerged irritable and hungry.

This is the Debian forum, the 'buntu forum is here: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/
(There is a reason this board is divided into sub-forums.) Flash can be installed in Debian in the way craigevil describes, if it doesn't work you can post and ask for help in the relevant forum providing full details. Resurrecting a two year old thread just to rant won't get flash working... |

First you resurrect a 2 yr old thread, then you whine when told exactly how to install flash. More than likely you are some sniveling 12 year old playing on his shiny new laptop mommy just bought you. |
