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. I did this a few months ago so my memory about it is kinda sketchy but that is basically what you need to do.This still works fine on Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope as of Sept 2009 –īUT you have to fix a path in the script. And it isolates the older flash from being found by any other browser you might be using. This way when you upgrade to Opera9.5 all you have to do is delete the libflash.so and the upgrade will do the rest. Opera9.27 would play flash but was almost as bad as firefox so I gave up and went to firefox3rc1 and that is much more stable. That's what I did when firefox3b5 was driving me crazy and it worked for me. You may also have to change the path in the plugin search in the preferences in the browser. Instead copy the libflash.so to your /usr/lib/opera/plugins file and then go to /usr/share/opera/ini and edit the pluginpath.ini to change the path for Flash. You can download it to your desktop or wherever and unpack it but do not run the installer. You need an older version of flash to work with 9.27 that you can get from the flash website where older versions are kept. It will work with Opera9.5beta, at least the newer versions. Flash 9 in the repos does not work with Opera 9.27 period.
