I'm about to install Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit, and I'm wondering if I should install that Flash 11 64 bit beta? If so, a couple of questions: Should it perform better than the 32-bit version?
- If I install the 32-bit or an older version before, can I overwrite with the new one or is a full clean install preferred? How do I install it once I download it from here? [URL].. Is it really as simple as replacing the *.so file? Does Chromium/Chrome need this too or just Firefox?
Why is everything with this ubuntu so complex and difficult? This operating system turns the act of installing/uninstalling into a huge task. Just yesterday I installed the beta release of flash 10.1, I thought that it went into my firefox folder, but I checked firefox 3.5.7 plugins and it isn't there. So my question is, where on earth could it have possibly gone? Terminal said that it installed somewhere on my home directory, but I've been searching everywhere and I can't find anything. I know it's there because videos require flash work. where is my home directory, and what is it? I'm using ubuntu 9.10.
I tried the new flash 10.2 beta in the hopes that they actually improved things, but it doesn't seem like they have. 1) Video's still seem to go to the 0,0 position with multiple monitors. Always the left screen. 2) Clicking on the non-fullscreen monitor still causes the fullscreen to exit. 3) My video is still offset and shifted on players like ....., probably due to screen resolution.
So i wanted to install flash on my FC12 box so I downloaded the flash tarzip and when I extracted it it gave me the .so file. The instructions say to put it in ~/,mozila/plugins and restart firefox but it is not showing flash content after I copied it here.
If I install flash player from yast or from "firefox plugins search", I only install version 10.0.*.*. Now I want to install version 10.1 beta. I downloaded package "flasplayer..." from adobe flash website. Then I extract it and run:
Afterward, I restart firefox and firefox requires install flashplayer . In some tutorials I see " Create symlink plugins to..." after "Install plugin ./libflashplayer.so...". In my computer I can't see this. I use opensuse 11.2 64bit. I try to install flash player 10.1 beta because I can't upload to mediafire Site. How to install 10.1 beta to solve this problem.
After installing 11.4/LXDE which comes with FF 4 Beta, The openSUSE Flash Plugin package was automatically installed, but doesn't seem to be installed into FF properly. When FF > Addons is opened, no Flash plugin is listed. If you then attempt to install install Flash from Adobe, Adobe doesn't seem to recognize FF 4 as a supported browser.
On top of that, if you visit the nVidia site to explore OEM display drivers, their site is Flash driven and won't permit driver searching, must less browsing and possible downloading. This was important to me to try to obtain the OEM nVidia Configuration Manager which vastly enhances display management, particularly on the somewhat lean LXDE desktop.
I installed the adobe flash player 11 beta 1 64 bits from here. Download Adobe Flash Player 11 Beta for Desktops - Adobe Labs. It seems to work well with firefox 5, but under konqueror (4.6.5 / openSUSE 11.4) I have many random nspluginviewer crashes with a Application: nspluginviewer (nspluginviewer), signal: Segmentation fault message when a page contains a flash object. This did not happen with previous versions of the plugin. Reloading the page with F5 is usually enough and everything seems to work without problems. ntil I load another page and then have another crash. In fact, the crash mostly happens when loading the page, not when the flash object is already loaded.
I am new to opensuse 11.4. I am trying to copy the flash 11 beta file (libflashplayer.so) into the lib64/browser-plugins folder but i get 'Access Denied. Could not write to (destination).
I am trying to use Skype beta on my acer aspire one with ubuntu 10.10. The video runs brilliantly and i can also here my wife from the other end but she cannot hear me. Apparently something is fishy with my mic input. I tried alsamixer and everything is in unmute. My alsa version is 1.0.23. The only think she hears is a loud hissing noise which is normally my bat voice but she doesnt need to know that. I can record my voice in the sound recorder but nothing comes out in Skype!
April 8th, 2010 - Beta 2 release; April 22nd, 2010 - Release Candidate; April 29th, 2010 - Final release of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
If I have 10.04 beta 1, could I just continue to update and not have to burn another disk to install? Or do I have to burn the beta 2 and reinstall if I want it?
My update manager still says "updated 3 days ago" and no updates have come through today. Does anyone know if NBR has been automatically updated TODAY from Beta 1?
i'm in 64 bit kubuntu, with the the nswrapper in 10.10http://www.metacafe.comin firefox i get the sound but not the video in metacafe, when the video is unblocked by flash block. Others have the same problem?
I get this link [url] for change my version of flash, because I can't playing flash when I have turned on effects. So I downloaded file for my Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit and I extracted it. But there is problem, because I don't know on which location I need to copy .so file?
I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 beta. After installing the flash player, everything worked fine. I installed a few updates, as well as Ubuntu Stuido from the synaptic package manager, and when I rebooted, I can't hear any sound from flash content displayed in Fire Fox. All other sounds work fine, and I made another user account as a test, and that account has full audio functionality, including flash...
I was just wondering once the 10.04 LTS is officially released will it be possible to just update the packages of 10.04 beta 2 to make it the official release or will you have to update, or will you have to actually do a reinstall?
I was running Ubuntu 10.04 and yesterday I decided to test drive the 10.10 beta. After updating to 10.10 and rebooting, all I now get is the login screen with all the icons displaying as an 'X' and more importantly, no actual login prompt. I know just enough about Ubuntu to properly break it, but I am at a loss as to how to fix this, since it doesn't give me the option of opening a terminal.
ok to upgrade to qt 4.6 without getting KDE 4.4 beta. QT has had some huge improvements i hear, and i want them without the betaness of KDE 4.4. I was going to enable the KDE's beta ppa after locking the versions of my KDE, then upgrade just the QT stuff.
I installed the new flashplayer beta 10.1 and the video is good except it is all a pink haze. It seems to have problems with colors. Im presuming it is to do with a flashplayer installation problem, or could it be my video settings etc ? (eg perhaps my integrated video card can't take the strain ?)
Very new to Ubuntu, but I was able to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 with no problems. New to forum and couldnt find any help in other posts. Like everyone, I was itching to try the newest and greatest. Tried updating last week but had the "openoffice..." bug and wouldn't install. Tried last night and everything went fine, until I restarted the system. Now it won't complete the boot. It show the GRUB, and some other startups, but them blank screen. 10 min later nothing. Tried it 3 more times. I think I am stuck, right? New install?This is what I am thinking of doing- 1. boot from old cd to get my files out. 2. fresh install of 9.10 and be patient for the offical release. Is there anything else I could do?
i recently upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 Beta. i am using 64 bit OS. in my computer USB to HDD copy is very much slow. generally i get 20-25MBps copy speed. but from USB the speed gradually goes below 2MBps.

When I tried to update my ubuntu, I received an error regarding the UUID not existing. When I updated, everything on the system was swell, but now I get the UUID does not exist. I reckon that ubuntu 10.04 does not need UUID. I can only run from the ubuntu shell with limited commands. I tried to edit the file /etc/default/Grub and it claimed to not exist. I have 2 separate versions of ubuntu on there, but it's using the grub installed from ubuntu 8.04. It says I'm using grub .97 beta. I am sure I have a brief idea of what to do. The problem is accessing the file necessary to do that. I will have to remove a line that says "LINUX_USE_UUID=true" or something like that. I don't know where that folder is. Apparently people say that its in /etc/default/grub. That doesn't exist for me.
During the upgrade proses I had lots of errors !anyway my problem happened when I chose keep my modified boot loader and I didn't install the new grub boot loader now .. when I start my laptop I get into the command line $ I have tow HDD (ubuntu/ win7)
How do you install the Firefox 4 beta in Ubuntu? I'm still trying to understand how to install files that come downloaded in a .tar.bz2 type file. I unpacked this package, but don't understand what to do with it.
Ok so i have 2 pcs one is running lucid lynx and when I use the command update-manager -d I get the option to upgrade to 10.10 but on my second pc I'm running 9.04 (jaunty jacklope) and when i run the command update-manager -d I only get the option to upgrade to 9.10. so how can I upgrade from 9.04 to 10.10 without having to install the following versions.
