General :: Unable To Download Abode Flash Player 10
Jan 5, 2010
I have had my laptop for over a year now and have still no idea how linux works, but the problem I have at the moment, is that i cannot download flash player 10, there is always something that comes up, whether it be asking for a root or just now able to get it, it is an Aspire one AOA 150 that I have.
Well being a newbie I have discovered something (or so I think!) regarding abode's flash plugin (flashplugin-nonfree): As per instructions from this same forum I had installed and used successfully in my Lenny 64, ever since it came out, abode's flash by first adding in my /etc/apt/sources.list the following repository: deb [URL]. Lately and for quite some time flash would misbehave and I had to reinstall it continuously and more often until it would work in the end only for some hours.
I reinstalled Lenny believing I could get over it but instead I ended up without any flash working at all! No videos only sound. Next step I deleted etch backports (#) and installed the sid repository: deb [URL] unstable main contrib non-free and went:#apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree which downloaded and installed flash 10 (I had flash 9 through backports) and consequently deleted (#) after that sid's repository to avoid updating Lenny, placing backports again in place although I do not know why ! Now I have videos working.
First I go to the following URL to download the latest version of VLC Player, which I greatly prefer to Totem or any other standard Linux video/audio player: http://www.fileguru.com/Movie-Player/download. After I click on the "Download" link, a new window appears which asks me if I want to 1) Open with Archive Manager (default) or 2) Save File. There is a drop down arrow next to the first choice which only gives "Other..." as the only other choice. Well, if I choose the first option, the download appears as an .exe file in the "Downloads" window.
A window with "Download Error" in its Title Bar appears with the following message in it: "/tmp/VLC_Player_Setup-3.exe could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences." I don't even know yet how to even open up an .exe file in Linux, despite repeated research.
I have Linux/Linux etch and I cannot seem to download some versions o adobe flash player, when I go to some sites and the require me to download the latest AFP, my computer just stacks it in my downloads and I end up with 10 different versions AFP just sitting in my computer, I thy to open and it says cannot open program etc. also sometimes i go to sites and I cannot type in some comment bars, also some of the links in Yahoo won't work like my address book won't open...i cannot adjust my filters, I click and nothing happens.
Moved to linux as I was assured it was "uncrashable" but I seem to have managed it after only 2 days. Running ubuntu 9.10 and trying to download adobe flash player. I get an error message :- E: The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. E:Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
Every time I close this window synaptic package manager also closes. When I try to download flash player directly from the adobe web page, synaptic refuses to cooperate. I am now stuck as I can't delete this or download anything else.Computer janitor won,t delete it either.Also when I go applications>ubuntu software centre, everything I try to download comes up with Not available in this critical data.I can see this is going to be a very steep learning curve.

i can't download Flash Player for Ubuntu. When i download it like the wiebsites say, it says "ERROR: Wrong architecture 'i386'.I really like to watch ....., and not being able to do anythgin will drive me INSANE!.
I have a Ubuntu(64-bit) installed on my PC. I am new to Linx and as that there are several versions of adobe flash player (such as YUM, .rpm, .deb) available for 64-bit Linux. I want to know that which version is suitable for 64 bit Ubuntu so my browser wiould be able to run the ..... videos.
I'm using debian lenny. How can I install flash player? When I'm downloading it from adobe I have multiple selections YUM for Linux .tar.gz for Linux .rpm for Linux .deb for Ubuntu 8.04+ APT for Ubuntu 9.04+ Which one must be downloaded and how to install it.
I tried downloading flash from the official website and installing the rpm but it didn't do anything even though it installed properly. I tried looking for the 64bit flash but the download link is broken. Can I install a 32bit rpm of firefox?
I wanna install adobe flash player with yum but it fails to download, I think there may be something wrong with the repositories. Totally, could you give me a step by step instruction for installing the flash player.. i have already tried downloading it from adobe web site for linux and rpm (yum) but i couldn't install it. i also had NOKEY letter in the result

I just installed Adobe Flash Player 10 and it says it's installed, when I go to firefox and Epiphany it still has flash player 9, Ive quited the browsers and everything Ive uninstalled/reinstalled still no luck.
i recently installed fedora on my eeepc1000hd and im having problems installing simple programs. for example i download limewire or flash player for ..... and when they download they open up in the archive manager instead of opening up witht the install client.
i am running lubuntu and i have google chromium. i went to videos today, and i add to install adobe flash player, i tried downloading all type of ways (from the options list) but nothing work, how do i install adobe flash player on lubuntu?
When system is playing a media ( e.g. sth.mp3 ) by a media player like Totem, then I open a browser and forward to a page that should play sounds, but everything is pretty normal except the sounds ( I mean there's no sound ).
When firstly open a browser to surf the pages. If there's sound played in the browser, I can't play a audio media in a standalone player ( e.g. Totem ) before I close the browser. But If there isn't any sound played in browser, the outside player will work normally.
The 2 situations happens between no matter Chrome or Firefox and a outside player. I guess there maybe a conflict between gstreamer and adobe flash player. But I am not sure what happened in my system.
How to repartition a hard drive using Mepis 3.3, none of the listed sites will open to me. Is this the best software to repartition a new Windows 7 hard drive? I notice there are later versions of the Mepis software.
I want to upgrade flash player (from 9 to 10) and need how-to in plain english. I have an asus eee-pc 4g/surf and several pages of notes and instructions but no matter what I do I can't seem to make it work.
jus picked up one of these cnmbook "7"netbook's for next to nothing (no manuals,charger lol) ive not used linux before but have managed to sort out the wifi etc but am not to sure how to upgrade the flash player .. the .tar downloads have a ? mark on them im trying to upgrade it due to some web pages not being able to display properly..ive always used windows due to using music making programmes but would like to find out about linux and what it can do ...and thought i could learn by using this cnmbook?
I am trying to get started out setting up the new netbook and need flash player. I have gone on adobe's website to download it but have no clue which one I need to get. I have an Asus EeePC 4g but don't know what ?version? of linux it has on it.
I am running flash-player plug-in 10.0.32.10 inside of Firefox on a SLED 11 machine.Firefox can print to the network printer without issue from File > Print.However, I cannot get the flash-player plugin to print at all. The print dialog comes up, asks for which printer, and which pages.I click Print and it was as if I had pressed cancel.
I am a techie but a TOTAL linux novice. I am trying to get the CnM Minibook to run flash player websites, in particular Club Penguin. I have downloaded a command line program to run and I have found out some basic commands but I do not have a clue where to begin. Can anybody help? I do not know what version of Linux it is but the browser is Bon Echo.
I have barebones Debian Lenny, with bare bones Gnome Desktop. I'm using IceWeasel for a browser. I have downloaded the file install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz. from the Adobe website. I have unpacked (I guess) the file using the command tar -zxvpf install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz
Now according to the instructions at Adobe - Flash Player 10: Installation instructions It should be unpacked to a directory with an installer that can be run, but all I get is a single file called libflashplayer.so, and I haven't a clue what to do with it. .so is like a .dll file I guess. IceWeasel has a built in service that installs plugins, but this failed with flash.
