Ubuntu Multimedia :: How To Install The Libflashplayer.so
Dec 31, 2010
I have downloaded Flashplayer from Adobe site in tar.gz format.When i extracted i got a libflashplayer.so file.I don't know how to install the libflashplayer.so file ..
Flash had been working fine in Google Chrome webbrowser but now I am getting this message The following plug-in has crashed: /user/lib/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Trying to watch videos for the first time using Fedora 13 there was just a black screen where the video play button should be, both on Firefox and Google Chrome, and the message: ?You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video?. So I downloaded Flash Player 10.0 for x86_64 from Adobe Labs. They advised: To install it, copy libflashplayer.so to your 64 bit browser plugins directory (such as /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/). How do I do this? I know how to sign in as root, but don?t know how to go to /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/, nor do I know how to ?copy libflashplayer.so to your 64 bit browser plugins directory?
After scouring the internet I was able to find an Adobe release of Adobe Flash Player Square for Linux 64 bit installations in the form of a file (libflashplayer.so). After copying the file to several different Mozilla directories and also making libflashplayer.so executable with the use of chmod +x libflashplayer.so I was unable to install the plug-in.To what directory must I install this .so file to get it to work? Also when I open the browser and user url://aboutlugins I don't see Adobe Flash Player Square yet. Is there an intermediary step?
I set up up Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid on my desktop. Why can I not install multimedia support for common formats following the guide here?
I've added the medibuntu repo. I'm up to the part where it says "UBUNTU FAMILY 8.10 AND HIGHER USERS ONLY" and i'm following directions for "32-Bit Ubuntu Users". This is what I get when I paste the command in terminal:
[Code]...
It says "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove", why am I being told this? If this guide is not for Lucid than what guide is?
I was using THIS guide to install restricted multimedia codecs. I got to the part where I had to switch system packages to the Packman packages. It came up with a number of dependency errors. I then had a stupid moment and told it to ignore the dependencies and break the applications. Now Xine won't even start, and Amarok seems to have disappeared on my computer. Oh and I also got a bunch of weird dependency problems when I was trying to install some of the packages from Packman too as listed on the guide. I also told it to ignore them when it couldn't find the dependencies. I'm scared I fudged multimedia up so badly I would have to do a clean install to get it back. BTW, I'm running openSUSE 11.2. I don't know if there are other specifications that matter.
i can't install multimedia codec, after installing i restart PC and then linux writes error kde4int i hadn't this error before, it begins after installing new monitor Samsung syncmaster B1940
I am trying to install missing codecs to my openSUSE 11.4.I found this.How to Install Multimedia Codecs in Linux - Softpedia.I downloaded file all-20110131.tar.bz2.There is no instructions where to download this file so i downloaded to /home/downloads.Before i use this i have a question - is this install all required codecs?I need codecs to play mkv, mp4, H264(x264), avi, no DVD
Iv tried everything to install the codecs for my system, the one click install, the manual provided for by openSUSE but no luck. All the files were installed correctly but alas no file will play. I need a solid answer. I have 11.2 GNOME on a 32 bit processor
I've been getting it up and running with Xubuntu. Xubuntu 9.10 just won't install--the screen goes blank and the computer locks up, with either the regular or the alternate install CD. I gather that this isn't an unknown issue in 9.10, so I'm installing 9.04 instead and I'll just wait until 10.04 comes out. Xubuntu 9.04 installs and runs like a charm.This is an HP Pavilion ze4125, with 768MB of RAM and an ATI Radeon IGP 320M video card. When I enter "sudo su -c "lspci | grep VGA", it returns "01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility U1".
So what I want to do now is install the best driver I can so I can make the most of the video card. XP let me use any number of high resolutions, but the Display icon in Xubuntu tops out at 1024x768. EnvyNG doesn't offer. anything compatible with my video card. I've tried installing ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64 and ati-driver-installer-9-12-x86.x86_64, but both say "Extraction failed" (I was running them with gdm stopped).So, is there something specific I should be doing to get access to higher resolutions, or a driver I need to install? This is easy on my main computer, which has an NVidia card, so I can use the NVIDIA X Server Settings utility to adjust the resolution--but obviously this machine doesn't have an NVidia card.
A question from a true beginner - I want to watch clips but in order to do that i need WMP plugin - a popup with 3 additional plugins appeared, I chose 1 of them not knowing which is the right one... no success. I hoped to see the other 2 on next boot up but to no avail.
Having had many problems with pulseaudio on a fresh karmic install, I followed some recommended instructions for removing pulse and using alsa (URL...). unfortunately, both pulse and alsa have gone and i'm left with oss which seems to work fine. I'd like to have alsa back though.When I open amarok, it plays the frst song on the playlist then pops up a series of 'could not initialise sound engine' messages, and crashes.
i find that i can no longer install dvd styler from the ubuntu software center.it tells me the Package dependencies cannot be resolved. so i go to synapic to see if i could install it there and it tells me Could Not mark all packages for installation or upgrade and it says in the box below dvdstyler: Depends: libavcodec-unstripped-52 but it is not going to be installed
I see (been using Inkscape for couple of weeks now) that there are features that I want to harness in Inkscape 0.47. I have 0.46 on Ubuntu 9.04 in the "Ubuntu Ultimate flavour".Oh by the way, is 10.04 stable? I read that 9.10 wasn't as stable cause of new programs and software and stuff that I have no clue about (I just want linux to be my stable OS in the back ground that doesn't require to much tinkering from me). And having asked that, can I upgrade to 10.04 via an installation disk? I usually get my OS disks from...well, wont say there name otherwise I might be accused of advertising. (downloading installations is expansive with a 3G card until I get ADSL).
How do I install a webcam? I have an usb Logitech Quickcam The program Cheese looks for a camera in "/dev/video0" but it is greyed-out

Banshee 1.7.5 supports the ipod touch and iphone but i can not figure out how to get it on Ubuntu. Its not in synaptic yet and i can not compile from source because it always says
I have just installed Rhythmbox via Synaptic..All is fine, however, I noticed that it's showing release version 0.12.8. After checking out [url] I noticed there is a newer stable version available. I have downloaded the tar.gz file, and followed the instructions in the INSTALL file.
The first step is to, in terminal, run ./configure before attempting to MAKE/MAKE INSTALL (won't let me do it anyways)..I run .configure, and at the end, I get this error:
Code:
This is preventing me from moving on during the installation.
I have tried
Code:
And it cannot be found.I have search Synaptic for GTK+-2.0 (for starters) and nothing specific shows up..A LOT shows up, but I'm not sure if there is one specific item I should be downloading?
nVidia came out with new drivers yesterday that are not in the nvidia-current metapackage. I don't care what card you have, this module drives it. What worked for me may not necessarily work for everyone, as I am not an oracle with respect to your particular system configuration. This howto will be done in broad strokes. Down to business. For this howto, I will assume two things: first, that you download the nVidia installer to /home/username; second, that your prior setup was having nvidia-current installed! Things we want installed
Paranoid stuff we'd like to do just in case the above doesn't work (as it did not for me): sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf Somewhere in the file, add the line "blacklist nouveau" PRINT THESE INSTRUCTIONS NOW BEFORE YOU KILL YOUR X SERVER Now, I installed by doing (from my home user directory)
This stops the X server, removes the potentially conflicting current drivers you have, installs the new driver (and -a accepts the license agreement so that we don't get prompted), and reboots.If this does not work, you can rollback from a LiveCD or the recovery mode with (again, from your home user directory)
I have 3 computers running Ubuntu 10.10 (2x regular Ubuntu, 1x Lubuntu) and I need VLC media player 1.0.6 (the version from Lucid). I cannot use the Maverick VLC player, I need an older one.What is the best way to install it? Is there a better option then installing it from source code?
