Re: flash plug in

Thank-you, Starwolf. Reinstalling the google chrome intaller worked after a reboot or two!

Re: flash plug in

I've got a 64 bit PC and found a tar type file that might do it.

I've only used .deb files so any thoughts on how to install a tar file anyone?

Words one syllable cos I'm a dumbo at Bash commands.

First...

If the file ends with ".tar", then "tar -xf <file_name>" to unzip it.

If it ends with "tar.gz", then "tar -xzf <file_name>".

If it ends with "tar.bz2", then "tar -xjf <file_name>".

What you do after that will depend upon the type of tar file you have. If it includes compiled binaries, then you can usually run the included executable by typing the name directly in the terminal window. If it includes program source files, you will need to build the binaries yourself. What is the name of the tar file?

Many thanks for your response as I'm utterly lost.

Re: flash plug in

I wish [i]I[i] could help you but I really don't know why it worked. I still don't have flash working on my other machine......

Re: flash plug in

You can use Ark from within Dolphin to extract the flash plugin tar into the Downloads directory. Then open a Konsole panel in Dolphin and issue:

sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.13/plugins/

then restart firefox.

IF you are running a 64bit Kubuntu you will want to get the "Square" plugin from Adobe

Re: flash plug in

I installed the flashplayer-installer package (listed as Adobe Flash plugin) but it didn't enable flash in any browser. I looked at the file list in KPackageKit and that package doesn't include any .so files, so I don't think the actual plugin is in there. I removed the package and installed the 64-bit Square preview and it works great. I unpacked libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins .

Anyone know why the package is broken?

Re: flash plug in

This is what worked for me, and will work for all of you :

(it is not a fix, but a good workarround)

- go to kpackagekit and install smplayer

- enter console and do those commands :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firefox-4.0
BY DOING THAT YOU WILL GET FIREFOX 4 BETA. IS A GOOD STABLE BETA THAT WILL GET TO RC SOON

- go to firefox addons page and get FlashVideoReplacer

- set FlashVideoReplacer to Medium quality, so that videos will open in 720p (if you like this quality ofcourse)


The FlashVideoReplacer trick might work in the curent stable release of firefox, but i don't know for sure. Firefox 4 is as fast as chromium, but with way more plug-ins, add-ons and so on. I use it now and i am sooper pleased with it. And the buffering of SMPlayer replacing flash is as fast as flash itself.

using kubuntu 10.10 x64

I hope it helps u guys

I installed FireFox-4 on Lucid 10.4.2, including FlashVideoReplacer, and they work well. In the last two or three hours I have not had a single crash or other problem. I noticed that the 15-20 second delay that FF3 always gives me before I can click a link or enter a search phrase isn't in FF4. The replacer works well, except for the annoying popup which asks how I want to play it every time I start a video.

Speed? Seems pretty fast, but I don't think it is quite as fast as Chromium, even though it loaded my pipeline settings and other speed tweaks. But, it's a lot faster than FF-3.6.16, and it has more add-ons and other features and settings that Chromium doesn't have. I think I'll keep it.

Re: flash plug in

Another feature coming with firefox 4 is browser sync. All your devices can share bookmarks and such.

Re: flash plug in

"coming"?

It's already in the version I am running! -- 4.0b13pre (2011-02-28)

Re: flash plug in

Meant coming in 4.0 stable as opposed to 3.6 stable or 4.0beta...

i have no popup asking me if i want to start my videos. it just does. i open a youtube page, and imediatly smplayer pops and starts playing the video. maybe there are settings you need to look for.
regarding speed... it is... it really i faster than chrome, at least for me.

Re: flash plug in

After I edited the preferences for FlashVideoReplacer the annoying popup went away. All I did was open the preference dialog and then close it.
