Flash Player Fail

[stanca]

flash wont function for me as well..

I installed flash via synaptic then dloaded the tarball from that link and copied the .so to the plugin folder..

heres what the plugin folder looks like..



maybe I should uninstall everything and start over?

also, firefox 3.0.9 wont let me download anything, it claims the "disk" is full, I try other destinations with no luck, opera dloads to wherever I want no prob?

You put the libflashplayer.so file in the wrong folder/directory.
The right place is /home/mozilla/plugins,and for that you need to check the "show hidden files" from nautilus>view.

I don't have a /home/mozilla/plugins folder, I used multiple browsers with show hidden, however I do have a /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder, I added the .so there with no results... that folder looks identical to the firefox/plugins folder I posted...

maybe I will uninstall firefox and flash then start over?

All you need then is to create yourself "plugins" folder(without quotes) in /home/mozilla/ and put the file there.This is the only way to have the flashplayer for 64bit.It always worked for me and it works better than the flashplugin nonfree 32bit+nspluginswrapper installed by the ubuntu restricted extras.

I decided to do a reinstall since I fubared the root partition, this time I gave root 12 gigs and made it a primary partition...

I then followed Tramps procedure and it worked like a charm, flash 10. installed...

I appreciate all the help guys, nix has gotten so easy to use as of late I guess I am getting lazy. back in the day everything was compiled and installed..

back on track all I need now is win32s and java installed and I am golden...

something odd on the way, I activated the ATI restricted drivers and I lost my theme?

Glad it came together for ya....right-click anywhere empty on Desktop, "Change Desktop Background" at bottom, under Theme tab...

flash was working fine until installed updates with the update manager...

after the fresh install I went to the Ultimate Edition home page, clicked on the install plugins and all was fine until I updated the system...

I created a /home/mozilla/plugins folder and put the 64 bit .so in it but no luck, there was no mozilla directory in the home directory so I created that as well..

The mozilla folder is hidden...

Was that your first update after installing?You should update first thing before you add apps,and start to tweak.

Also....don't update unless you have to.Just because that icon is up there doesn't mean you have to.After the initial update.Don't do it again....IMO it creates to many problems for an average user.If your not an average joe then open the backports up and let em role,but you will get a lot of "errors".

Did you do .../mozilla/... OR ... /.mozilla/...? (needs to be a hidden folder which the 'period' indicates in front of the folder/file name)...just the folder in this case...should be /home/.mozilla/plugins...

[Twisted]

OK, working now, I did .mozilla, uninstalled flash from synaptic and enabled shockwave flash in the add-ons plugins in firefox...

java is working so now on to win32s..

Nice.
