Re: flash player upgrade
The last time they upgraded, I was able to fix by returning to the previous flash player. This time I dont see it in the repos. Anyone got any ideas?Custom amd x4 o/c 3800<br />8gb ram, radeon 5850<br />kde 4.7 kernel 3 <br />Virtualbox winxp<br /><br />Dell precision m6300<br />4gb ram Quadro m1600<br />intell 2core 2k<br />kde4.7 kernel 3.0 -
Re: flash player upgrade
Installed and had problem.
Solution:
Go package manager uninstall flash plugin for mozilla and flash nonfree packages.
Open firefox go to a page with flash.
As the bar appers on the top says need additional plugin click on it.
On top of opened dialog you'll see flash plugin.
Install it and works for me.
Hope helps!!Comment

Re: flash player upgrade
I am happy that helps both of you
Note:
Think that kpackage manager installs required file to a wrong location.
But firefox itself installes them to the correct position.Comment

Re: flash player upgrade
I have FF 3.6.15 and the flash plugin that was installed by the package manager worked fine with no changes. I also successfully tested it on the file pointed to by GreyGeek.
What I did find some weeks ago was that FF was misbehaving on YouTube, so I decided to rename the home directory used by FF and restart FF to create a new .mozilla directory in my home partition. I decided to do this because the existing directory had been used through numerous FF updates. I imported my bookmarks and then went through all the sites where I wanted FF to remember my login details. As well as this I re-installed all the plugins and add-ons. I should emphasis that before renaming the FF directory, the existing bookmarks should be exported so that they can be retrieved when the new directory is formed.
It certainly looks like our installations behave quite differently at times.Comment

Re: flash player upgrade
I was using gnash until it began eating CPU resources like they were potato chips. I uninstalled gnash and my cpu came back, and then installed the flash plugin from the repository. Firefox tells me that for my safety, it disabled my now out-of-date flash plugin, and nothing I do seems to be able to un-bork it.
I'm running 64-bit linux and Firefox 3.6.15 if that helps. Adobe wants me to manually install some experimental square version of the flashplayer and I'm not really that willing to be Adobe's guinea pig. Anyone have any suggestions?Comment

Re: flash player upgrade
I had tried that, and it wouldn't let me run the .deb. The APT gave me some sort of weird error.Comment

Re: flash player upgrade
When I removed my .mozilla directory and restarted firefox to create a new one, I then reinstalled the flash plugin installer. By doing this the installer will put it in the correct firefox directory. On my system I have flashplugin-installer version 10.2.153.1ubuntu0.10.10.1

Re: flash player upgrade
Did you know that there is now a ppa for 64 bit flash?
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer

Flash-Aid
There's an add-on for Firefox called Flash-Aid that solved a lot of Flash problems for me. (Use its Preferences to run it.) I don't know how it interacts with the 64-bit version, though.
