Restart firefox and voila, working flash!! Awesome!!

Now save it, remember to chmod 755 it it’s runnable, and run it with: sudo. Sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so So the whole section now looks like this:

Sudo mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ Sudo cp install_flash_player_10_linux/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ To do this, first download the script from this page, then edit it and search for the section starting with: echo "Installing Flash Player 10": But if you fix the path in the script, it works like magic again. Before the flash player plugin (libflashplayer.so) was inside a folder called “install_flash_player”, and now it just unpacks into the current directory.Īll this results in the script exploding with the error reported by wewa. The directory structure inside the flash player archive has changed, is why it is breaking now. The script downloads the flash player from the Internet and unpacks it. This still works fine on Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope as of Sept 2009 –īUT you have to fix a path in the script.
