Flash and shockwaves on firefox and chromium-browser
 

Hello,

i installed xubuntu on my Laptop. It works very fine. The only problem is that I cant look videos on web. I can look youtube-videos very very slow and it’s jerking very much. I use firefox and chromium-browser, but it’s the same. I think it’s a problem with shockwaves and flash who crashes every time. I tried to install it or similar but it didn’t worked. So I tried to install wine and firefox (for windows) with wine. This was very easy and firefox was installed, but java and flash wasn’t on it. I tried to install flash manually with wine, but I got error messages. Now, how can I install flash and maybe shockwaves manually with wine for my “windows-firefox”?
How can I bring it to run web videos on my “linux-firefox”?

Regards

The latest flashplayer works quite well in Firefox and Chromium on my system, under linux. No need to run wine for flashplayer.

Have you gone to this link -->http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

It will tell you the version of flashplayer installed, and offer an upgrade.

Is your system 32 bit or 64 bit?

Right now my system reports from 'about:plugins'

I stopped using any version of buntu do to their non standard way of handling things. I do not know where libflashplayer.so is ( or should be ) installed on xubuntu. On my system, for firefox, it is here:

You can always do a find command or locate command to know the correct location for each web browser.

Thank you, its a 32 bit system.


Maybe isn’t logical, but do you have an idea to install it via wine?

Sorry, no. My point above was you should not need wine. If you decide that is what you want, then you may need to check out the wine forums.

Thank you.
