I just installed a bunch of updates, and found Adobe Flash was suddenly broken. Both Chrome and Firefox report a missing plugin, even though Flash had been working perfectly with the flashplugin-nonfree package installed. So I uninstalled this package, and tried to manually download and install the package from Adobe's site, only to find they only offer 32-bit binaries, which appear to be incompatible with my 64-bit system.Has anyone else run into this problem? Why would an update suddenly break this functionality? How can I repair it?
I've spent the better part of a day off working on this. I can't pinpoint the problem, either.I've removed *every* flash package in synaptic and installed:
I've rebooted,removed, purged, installed, reinstalled. rebooted. rebooted.I've tried flash-aid.If I remove ALL flash,..... correctly says the plugin isn't installed.If I install adobe-flahplugin, I get a black box where the video should be.The only thing that worked is installing Google Chrome...where flash worked on the first freaking run. But I'm really partial to firefox and this is kind of really POing me.What I would like to know is if Firefox 3.6.6 and Flash 10.1 r53 WORK FOR ANYONE or if I'm just wasting my time???
i'm running ubuntu 8.04 and i recently automatically updated the adobe flash plugin. now things like hulu and the comedy central streams don't work, but videos works perfectly. is there anything i can do to remedy this? if not, is it possible to undo the update?
I was wondering if anyone could answer my question. For some reason I've been trying to update my flash player and every time I try and do this from the terminal it tells me that the command can't be found, even though the zip file that contains the update is executable and my PATH has been set to include the directory that said file is in. I am running ubuntu 11 .04 and here [URL]...If there is any other way that I can execute the update?
I upgraded Opera to version 11.00, and also upgraded on my computer Adobe Flash to version 10.1.102.64 (or 65 if I recall). The Flash update reflects properly in Firefox and Google Chrome, but unfortunately it does not show up properly in Opera. It shows that Opera has 10.0.45.2 as the flash version. Why is this not updating with the Opera and Flash updates?
Since the last 4 update.. I Been waiting for this to be fix. I can't watch anything without have major problem. I get lest then 3 sec into any video. Then it just jump to were my load point of the video. Almost two week of waiting for this to be fix. Cuz some how my updater form the last 4 Was the reason it went down....
I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 again on my PC after a long time. Everything was working fine. No problems at all. After running all the necessary updates, I wanted to install Adobe Flash. This I did by going to Adobe's site. I selected the APT version for 9.04+. It was installing fine UNTIL there was a power cut. Since then I have been trying out various methods of repair suggested in these forums. But again and again get the same message:Quote:

Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 Today, 23.11.2010, the update manager did present two posts with adobe flash plugin updates at the top of the list.
Since I abhor adobe as much as m$, I never installed their flash plugin but did use gnash instead (which works sometimes, and sometimes not...)
So my first question was, why should I update a thing that I do not have and do not want ? Following I did UNcheck the checkbox of these two updates, which in my mind means that Update manager must NOT do these UNchecked updates, isn't it ?
I was terrified to observe that, even UNchecked, the adobe flash plugin has been installed against my will. I would have expected such arrogance from m$, but not from Ubuntu...
Of course, I went to synaptic immediately to uninstall this crap. Knowing how hard it is to get rid of flash under m$, I have some doubts about the fact if synaptic did really uninstall this crap cleanly and completely. I would not be astonished to find at least some remains on my HD one of these days. My current feeling is that nobody on earth can be trusted any more...
1. I would really like to know why these updates were listed in the update manager at all, when the thing to update was never installed before.
2. And I would like to know why they were dictatorially imposed, even though I did UNcheck them.
how to update these packages easily? I am concerned about the security using version 3.0 major security issues. Also, where can we get security updates for Centos 5.4?
I am running Ububtu Linux 10.04. When I attempt to install the latest version of the Adobe flashplayer (10.0.45.2ubuntu1), the Synaptic Package Manager (SPM) tries to remove flashplugin-nonfree and install flashplugin-installer. That fails with the message
Code:
E: flashplugin-nonfree: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. So, then I attempted to reinstall flashplugin-nonfree package but the SPM does not allow me to either install or remove the broken flashplugin-nonfree package. I tried the same things using the Ubuntu Software Center (USC) with the same failure.
Tried:
Code:
$ aptitude show flashplugin-nonfree
Code:
Package: flashplugin-nonfree State: partially configured Automatically installed: no

I'm an happy new user of Ubuntu 11.04, and I wasn't able to get Adobe Flash Player 10.XXX.normally released for Ubuntu versions up to 10.04. Anybody can help this newcomer to linux world?
Ubuntu 9.04:After downloading Flash 10 and then try to Install Using package Installer I get an error that says Archive to available uess or something to that affect.
A couple of the sites I go to, very professional and legit sites, tell me I need Adobe flash player. Now that I don't run anything with Ubuntu other then a FW is this safe? What about "NoScript" for Firefox?
EDIT: This install is old...see the new post: [URL]
For those running the native alpha 64 bit Linux flash plugin from Adobe, I have updated Romeo-Adrian Cioaba's script to download the current update, 10.0.45.2.

I was just wondering if there is an alternative to Adobe Flash. I just checked the Software Center and it told me that "there is no version for your architecture". As everyone is well aware a lot of sites are Flash heavy. Anyone have a solution? I am running Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic on a Dell Dimension E521 with AMD Athlon X2 4200+.
I'm noticing some sites I go to work flawlessly in version 9, but flicker with version 10.Other sitese work great with version 10, and some sites need version 10, like Fancast and Hulu. Is it possible to have separate browsers, for example Firefox running version 9, and Chromium running 10?
i am running ubuntu 10.04 i installed ubuntu restricted extras, and i went on videos. although i can view the video, i can't click on pause, the volume controls, or seek through the video, or put it into fullscreen mode. i went into the software center and searched "adobe flash player", and it came up with adobe flash plugin 10. it doesn't have an "install" button on it, so i double-clicked it, and it said " sorry, 'adobe flash plugin 10' is not available for this type of computer (amd64)."
Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. I have "flashplugin-nonfree" installed running on this OS: $ apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree Code: flashplugin-nonfree: Installed: 10.1.53.64ubuntu0.10.04.1 Candidate: 10.1.53.64ubuntu0.10.04.1 Version table: 10.1.53.64ubuntu0.10.04.1 0 .....
I download "persistence-lesson01.zip" on [URL] and decompress it. Code: lesson01.html lesson01.swf ProductionInfo.xml swfobject.js On clicking "lesson01.html" it asks to "Download Adobe Flash Player". On completion of installation it popup "adobe-flashplugin is virtual".
I found following link: adobe-flashplugin is virtual on 64bit Ubuntu 10.04 [URL] and ran; $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer and got the package installed. On clicking "lesson01.html" it asks to "Download Adobe Flash Player" again.
When going to full screen mode in You Tube I get a message that says"adobe flash plugin has crashed.I have installed FlashAid on firefox but still the problem remains.
