Install flash player EZ !! GTK GUI !

[JOHNNYG]

HELLO here I have found a great little helper for alll !!! this will install adobe flashplayer in 64 and 32 bit systems !
Note press remove button first ! then install your system x86 or x64 ! one for Ubuntu and one for Kubuntu ! just untar,check permissions (make sure file is executable-should be ready) double click and your good to go !
found it here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? ... _installer

How does it work?


I know I can open the file,and check it out myself,but I'm lazy today....its Saturday.

[JOHNNYG]

works great ! just like its aposed to !!! I wish I had this when I was first startin-out ! remove= remove all bad data, install your arch. install's 32 or the ever elusive 64bit flash with just a click ! how cool !!! ! would not post it if I did not use it ! it is a wonderful app !

[stanca]

Great!That would be very useful for the newbies in x64bit.

Pretty cool.

Looking at the code its made for Fox,and Iceweasel.Should be easy to modify for other browser also.Keep in mind 32 bit flash is more stable than 64 bit.


That's what I meant by "how it works"...not how is it working.lol.

OPPS sorry cell ! I am not much of a programmer! I didn't delve into the workings of it, just tested it, and seemed to me that it was just "The bee's knee's"

OPPS sorry cell ! I am not much of a programmer!

Don't let me fool you man....neither am I,but don't let an coder fool you either...anybody can do it if one wants to learn.


Some times I just like to know how things are working.If you use the flash app I knew it would have to gain root,and delete different releases of flash,and such.I just wanted to know how the script went about doing it.


Check out the code.when You read it it you will know what its doing.

Hi Johnny!
Thanks to you and The Man for UE2.8!

I got flash to work on 2.8 live by searching for flash in the Ubuntu software center, selecting it and letting it install.
I then watched flash movies at YouTube with both Firefox and Chromium NP

Thanks for your hard work guys!
