flashplugin-installer (Alpha 3)

[rec9140]

Any one found a solution to the missing files in IA32-lib to get flashplugin-installer to run?

flashplugin-installer_10.3.183.4ubuntu3_amd64.deb will not complete installation and allow use due to missing dependencies from IA32-lib

All updates are applied.

IA32-libs is 20090808ubuntu16

flashaid is not an option as:

1) browser v7.0 as available and the plugin are incompatible
2) I don't use the browser anyway, Konqueror is my browser

2 choices,
#1 enable multiarch support:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ub...st/000886.html

If you have upgraded to oneiric amd64 *before* today, or if you did an
oneiric amd64 install prior to alpha-3, you will want to manually enable
multiarch support on your system to ensure you get the same experience (and
see the same packages) as other users. This is as simple as running the
following command as root:

# echo foreign-architecture i386 > /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch

An apt-get update later, and you'll have access to the full array of i386
packages in addition to the amd64 ones.

or

#2 (I'm running this one, it runs well for me and on my gf's machine)
Install flashplugin64-installer from ppa for 64 bit flash
https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/+archive/flash

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer

Re: flashplugin-installer (Alpha 3)

I've been using the 64bit installer for the last six months or so. Only trouble I've had with it is when installing an upgrade, I've had to remove-install-remove-install to get it to work.

Not a perfect situation, but not that big of a deal either.

Thanks, but as this project is a remaster, I am not going to go too bleeding edge, and this is a little too new for this project.

Also explains something, which now I know what to disable since I don't want mixed arch.

I tried that as well, unfortunately, it reports some wild version, 11.x something, number sites refuse to use it.

Keep saying need a newer version.

that's odd, here's what chromium aboutlugins gives me version 11.0.1

hi.

Look for a lost flashplugin.so at your .mozilla folder.
