Ubuntu Multimedia :: Flash Not Working And Download Doesn't Start
Sep 15, 2010
i'm finding it absolutely impossible to get flash working on ubuntu. I'm using firefox and have tried installing adobe flash player through their website (nothing happens, download doesn't start) and through the terminal (error messages), I've also tried installing other flash players from the ubuntu software centre and, while they install fine, they don't seem to actually work. I'm using ubuntu with windows (windows on C drive, ubuntu on D drive)

I'm using 'Adobe Flash plug-in 10.3.183.4ubuntu0.11.04.1', installed from the package repos on kubuntu, and since the last update, it has broken all flash functionality in both rekonq and firefox.I have tried removing and reinstalling the package multiple times, both with and without the browsers open. Can anyone suggest a way to restoring functionality?

I installed CentOS 5.3 without major problems, and customized the installation to my heart's content, but I still do not have flash plugin active when I first open firefox. I have to close the first firefox window and from the second instance of firefox, the flash plugin works without any problem.
Here is my setup:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042718 CentOS/3.0.10-1.el5.centos Firefox/3.0.10
Kernel: 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.centos.plus, x86_64.

How to install Adobe Flash on my netbook. I recently installed openSUSE 11.4 which I am guessing is the newest one. I also am using Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 12. I can't seem to install it at all. First I downloaded the YUM file and tried installing it with some weird program that came with openSUSE and it is just too difficult. I definitely do not know how to use it. Then I read I should be installing the tar.gz file and so I did. Even then people have different ways of installing it. The easiest way I have seen has been the way Adobe's website tells how to install it.
Installation instructions for tar.gz
1. Click the download link to begin installation. A dialog box will appear asking you where to save the file.
2. Save the .tar.gz file to your desktop and wait for the file to download completely.
3. Unpackage the file.
4. Copy the libflashplayer.so file to the plugins folder of your browser. Refer to your browser vendor for the location of this folder.
5. To verify the plug-in is installed in your Mozilla browser, launch Mozilla and choose Help > About Plug-ins from the browser menu.
Now my problem is that when it tells me to copy "Copy the libflashplayer.so file to the plugins folder of your browser" I cannot find the "plugins" folder in my mozilla/firefox folder. Now I'm actually wondering if it's because it a Beta version of Mozilla Firefox. I'm not very good with "coding" and "commands".

I just installed ubuntu 9.10 32bit on my compaq 6000.I have a nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX 420] graphic card, and I wanted to install the proper drivers.I tried to use Hardware Drivers, but when it tries to activate the "NVIDIA accelerated graphic ... ... (version 96)", it starts a download and then it simply stops doing anything.I also tried to use EnvyNg, which also started downloading and stopped.I also tried to install manually the "NVIDIA-linux-x86-96.43.01-pky1.run" (which was what Envy recommended) but1) I'm a Noob and most forums said "don't mess with your graphic card if you'e not confindent enough"2) when I dosudo /etc/init.d/gdm stopsudo sh NVIDIA-linux-x86-96.43.01-pky1.runit says that I don't have a precompiled kernel interface, and something about kernel sources not matching current kernel (but "gcc -dumpversion" shows the same as "cat /proc/version").

I can't get the eMusic Download Manager (emusicdlm) to start up in a fresh install on Lucid even though it worked fine in Karmic. It doesn't even give a helpful error message.Even using the absolute path to the executable just gives the same error.Are there any other eMusic members who have tried using the download software to get their tracks in Lucid?

I am using qBitTorrent. But whenever i am trying to download, it is having few issues.
1. It takes a lot of time to start the download. Last night it did not even start to download even after 15 mins. But when i put the same torrent in utorrent in Win7 partition it started to download immediately.. can somebody point out what is going wrong?
2. do i need to keep the qBittorrent open all the time till it finishes.. Otherwise it is not downloading... But in my Win7, when i close it, it automatically docks itself to the task bar.. (hav been using Win for a long time.. thats why i am comparing it to Win.. )

after I upgraded from Lucid to Natty, Flash doesn't work in Opera any more. In Firefox I have no problems.
As suggested in another thread, I tried installing Flash-Aid for Firefox and reinstalled Flash with this extension, but no luck. I also tried purging and reinstalling Opera:
sudo apt-get purge opera
sudo apt-get install opera
No luck.

So, if i want to embed a video stream on my site and use the one that the company provides, it has ugly colors that clash with my website.And, if i do Internet searches for a customizable one that allows color changes, the results i get are to download windows programs.Can you direct me to on on-site code generator or a linux download that generates color-customizable FLV/SWF shockwave flash Players? So that i may use my own Embed GUI with the proper color that matches my website. I cannot seem to find one on my own.

i just reported a bug to launchpad (#511562. i'm not sure if this bug is in flashplugin-installer or pulseaudio.when i use firefox or chrome for watching a flash video from videos for example, all works good. i then transfer the sound to a remote sink using sound preferences > output > internal audio analog stereo on myuser@otherhost. after this is done, the flash video halts. this is also true if i restart firefox and start a new video, already having transferred the sound. sometimes you can see the video taking huge skips forward. for example, on a 3 minute music video, i see 3-4 different frames from different places in the video. the sound is ok though! 100% reproducible and if i transfer the sound back to local speakers the video resumes and plays perfectly.

I was wondering if you could help me out with this Flash problem: sometimes, Flash elements don't play in my browser window - there's just a big white area where my Flash should be. I have to close and re-open Firefox. This especially happens when I activate the "Flashblock" plugin, a very useful tool that blocks all Flash unless you click on it and choose to play it. Whenever I have that enabled, most of the time, clicking on the "play" button produces the white area where the Flash object should be. It's Karmic 64 and Firefox 3.5, Shockwave Flash 10.0.

I've been trying to get my webcam microphone working in flash on Kubuntu 9.10.I have a Logitek Pro 9000, and video and audio work in other applications (skype), but video is all that works in flash (I have flash 10 installed). In the flash settings, it lists the only microphone option as "Linux Microphone", which does nothing. This seems to be a common problem, with a few solutions offered.
One I've tried, which seems fairly straightforward for gnome users, is here. However, whenever I run pavucontrol, I get an error reading "Connection failed: Connection refused".Does anyone know how to either get pulseaudio open, or how to get the microphone working in flash without it?

i'm running on 64-bit 10.04, and i can't seem to get flash working; well, i can see videos on newgrounds, but not on videos. it keeps telling me to install the latest flash player, and even when i install it through synapticit never shows up in firefox's list of installed plugins. then when i try to install it through adobe's site using the apt url, it says that the package it's trying to install is virtual, and the installation fails. i've also tried gnash, but that doesn't play videos videos, and i tried to install swfdec, but that didn't show up in firefox's plugins either

I'm still using the last LTS 8.04. Getting ready to upgrade to the newest version
Flash was working perfect until one of the last software updates. Now all I get is "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed."
I tried running:
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer and got the following message"
Quote:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package flashplugin-installer
If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated. I'd really like to get Flash working again before I build a new box and upgrade to 10.04.

I can't get the flash plug-in to work properly. I am running Ubuntu 9.10 x64, which I think might be the issue. It seems to be able to run flash games and videos etc. but it won't let me interact with it. So if I want to pause the video, I can't or if it doesn't automatically start, I can't watch it. With games, it runs, but I can't click on it at all.

Firefox can't detect any keypresses from the programs I make. I use Macromedia Flash 8. Make a text box and give it the instance name"txt_test" add this actionscript code.
Code:
stop();
KeyListener = new Object();
KeyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
_root.txt_test.text = "OOOOO";
}

I want to either fix my firefox or make my program so that it can take input. Is it because I need to build my program with flash CS3 or 4?

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 64bit.
This happens on Chrome and Firefox.
When I'm running a flash site like, Pandora, it stops working when I open another tab with flash running like, Hulu. Now it doesn't stop working right away but in time it does.
Then screen on that tab usually goes grey.
Now this doesn't happen all the time but enough to get me flustered.

Update Manager prompted me to run an update, which I did, then Flash stopped working after I ran ran the update.I first noticed the problem when I was using Chromium, trying to view a video on the BBC website, which displayed the message "Cannot play media. You do not have the correct version of the flash player. Download the correct version".So, I clicked on the download link, which took me to the Adobe site where I selected APT for Ubuntu 10.04+, but that didn't make any difference, so I then tried to view the same video using Firefox, but that displayed the same message.Could someone please tell me what I need to do, in order to get Flash working again?

I'm running a 64-bit version of Ubuntu 10.04 and have the flash plug-in installed. It runs fine for the most part but if I'm watching a ..... video or playing a game on facebook and accidentally hit the right mouse button, rather than pull up a menu like it does on my netbook (running Ubuntu 10.1 32-bit), it crashes Firefox.

Something odd going on with flash and watching videos, listening to the radio on the BBC website in Ubuntu 10.04.
Flash works fine for ....., the guardian, anything really but when play pressed on any video it tries to load and then finally a message comes up saying "This content doesn't seem to be working. Try again later".
This is not an iplayer problem, its the embedded flash videos in the BBC site. I'm behind a proxy but housemate's computers all work fine with it.
