OMG. I THANKS YOU SO MUCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! I REALLY WAS THINKING OF BUYING WINDOWS SYSTEM BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING IN INSTALLING FLASH! YOU ARE REALLY A LIVE SAVER. I LOVE YA. ARIGATOU GOZAIMAZU. *KISSES*
SOLVED! Thanks a lot! I had a 64bit version and the last one was the only solution that worked for me.
whenever i type the command for 64-bit users
sudo chmod +x flash10_en.sh
this comes up
chmod: cannot access `flash10_en.sh’: No such file or directory
any help?
the 64 bits edition didn’t work for me i dunno why all the install progress works fine but when i open any site which needs flash plugin it asks me to download it

“the 64 bits edition didn’t work for me i dunno why all the install progress works fine but when i open any site which needs flash plugin it asks me to download it” I’m on 64-bit Jaunty, and I had the same problem. It took me FOREVER to figure this one out: You need to make sure the plugin is in the proper location, which is somewhat mysterious. You’re getting that message because it’s searching where it *should* be and getting a link that leads to nothing. There are several different “firefox-related” plugin directories. I had to try several different locations before I found the one that worked:
/usr/lib/firefox-3.whatever/plugins/ So, this script you just ran basically put a plugin file named libflashplayer.so somewhere, probably under /home/your-username/.mozilla/plugins/ This file needs to be moved from here to the location I just stated above. Furthermore, you may need to go through every last little “mozilla” or “firefox” related directory in your system and nuke any links that might be pointing to an incorrect location: 1. at terminal, type: sudo updatedb
2. locate *libflashplayer*
to locate all the copies EXCEPT THE PROPER ONE YOU JUST INSTALLED
3. delete em all. (“sudo rm /path/to/each-file-you-just-found/libflashplayer.so”) Admin, maybe you’ll make your own mention of this if it’s useful to people? e.m.fields

CORRECTION: Correction to above instructions:
I didn’t realize which article I was responding to. This article’s method is actually installing the 32-bit version with a workaround for 64-bit users, if I remember correctly.
(Admin?) You do not need to do all this anymore to install the flash plugin for 64-bit systems. Adobe has released a 64-bit binary of Flash Player 10.0.
You can download it at “http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/”. Unzip the file and proceed same way as my previous instructions. It goes in /lib/firefox-3.whatever-version/plugins/ peace,

Solved!! thanks!! i don t know what saved me cause i tried everything but for sure it s something you explained on this page, i m trying to get flash since lots of weeks, thank you
New to Linux here. Don’t understand a lot of the instructions I find out there. Anywhere for that matter.
I’m running a (32 bit) HP system with Ubuntu(8.04) and Firefox (3.0.16). I just can’t get Adobe Flash Player (10.0.42.34) installed. I keep getting a message saying that it is already installed BUT I cannot view Flash content.
Why is this so difficult for me? Wait… don’t answer that. I probably wouldn’t like the answer, ha, ha.
Newbie Blues…… sigh!
Ooooops, I guess 7 times is good luck. 3 times I downloaded the deb package and tried to install that directly. Then, I followed what was listed in the instructions above for the 4th time and it finally stuck. I am not really sure what I did differently but suddenly I am able to view Flash content.
Thanks for making information like this available. It obviously helped me a lot.
Who knows. Maybe someday I will figure all this out.
Good things don’t always last…. From line 12 of the script… wget http://www.boundlesssupremacy.com/Cappy/getlibs/getlibs-all.deb HTTP request sent, awaiting response… 404 Not Found
22:13:58 ERROR 404: Not Found.
Hi, i’ve tried your method for 32-bit but it’s not working. No “flash” plugin is listed on the about:plugins page after following your exact steps. Firefox was restarted. What now?
I keep getting error stating that versions of my software are newer than the ones the program uses to operate.Configuration not completed it says. Any ideas?
Yes. After weeks of trying and searching forums and testing various “fool-proof” methods that don’t work, I gave up and upgraded to Ubuntu 10. This solved the problem, as the flash 10 plugin comes with it (or it recognised the flash 10 libraries I had tried to install, frankly i don’t know, but it works now). So, unsless you have some Ubuntu 8.04 specific things going on that you’d lose by upgrading to Ubuntu 10, I strongly recommend this option. It’s very stable and I’m happy with it. Hope you’ll be too. Have a nice day!
im using ubuntu 9.10 64 bit and I just went to synaptic package manager, installed restrictedubuntu (it also has other distros) restart computer and voilà!
Установка Adobe Flash Player в Linux
Передача видео, аудио и показ различного мультимедийного контента, включая игры, в браузере осуществляется с помощью дополнения под названием Adobe Flash Player. Обычно пользователи загружают и устанавливают этот плагин с официального сайта, однако с недавнего времени разработчик не предоставляет ссылок на загрузку для обладателей операционных систем на ядре Linux. Из-за этого юзерам придется использовать другие доступные методы инсталляции, о которых мы и хотим поговорить в рамках данной статьи.
Устанавливаем Adobe Flash Player в Linux
В каждом популярном дистрибутиве Линукс установка происходит по одному и тому же принципу. Сегодня мы возьмем за пример последнюю версию Ubuntu, а вам будет нужно лишь выбрать наиболее оптимальный вариант и следовать приведенным ниже инструкциям.
Способ 1: Официальный репозиторий
Хоть с сайта разработчика загрузить Flash Player и не получится, его последняя версия находится в хранилище и доступна к скачиванию через стандартный «Терминал». От вас требуется только использовать указанные ниже команды.
- Для начала убедитесь в том, что включена поддержка репозиториев Canonical. Они понадобятся для выгрузки необходимых пакетов из сети. Откройте меню и запустите инструмент «Программы и обновления».
Иногда в 64-битных дистрибутивах появляются различные ошибки, связанные с установкой официального пакета Flash Player. Если у вас возникла такая проблема, сначала установите дополнительный репозиторий sudo add-apt-repository «deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) multiverse» .
Затем проведите обновление системных пакетов через команду sudo apt update .
Кроме этого, не стоит забывать, что при запуске приложений и видео в браузере может появиться уведомление о разрешении на запуск Adobe Flash Player. Примите его, чтобы запустить функционирование рассматриваемого компонента.
Способ 2: Инсталляция загруженного пакета
Часто различные программы и дополнения распространяются в пакетном виде, Flash Player не стал исключением. Пользователи могут найти на просторах интернета пакеты формата TAR.GZ, DEB или RPM. В таком случае их нужно будет распаковать и добавить в систему любым удобным методом. Развернутые инструкции по проведению упомянутой процедуры с разными типами данных вы найдете в других наших статьях по ссылкам ниже. Все инструкции были написаны на примере Ubuntu.
Подробнее: Установка TAR.GZ / RPM-пакетов / DEB-пакетов в Ubuntu
В случае с типом RPM при использовании дистрибутива openSUSE, Fedora либо Fuduntu просто запускайте имеющийся пакет через стандартное приложение и его инсталляция пройдет успешно.
Хоть ранее компания Adobe и заявляла о прекращении поддержки Flash Player на операционных системах Linux, сейчас ситуация с обновлениями наладилась. Однако при возникновении ошибок разного рода в первую очередь ознакомьтесь с ее текстом, обратитесь за помощью к официальной документации своего дистрибутива или посетите сайт дополнения для поиска новостей по поводу вашей проблемы.
