I thought this should be easy (right 
) , so I followed some instructions posted by gsdefender on ubuntuforums:
Note that I used the flashplayer 9 instead of 7!
My machine is running Kubuntu Edgy 64 on AMD64X2 processor
I removed all the "free" GNU-flash an other non-proprietary versions from my system. I followed the steps in the top post and also checked the dependencies. Then I started a new konqueror from the command line, and browsed off to youtube to test.
The results are, so far, promising but not satisfactory:
- audio is perfect
- video is also perfect (as far as I can see) but
the window where the flash video plays doesn't have the ordinary "player" appearance: there is no slider, no play button, no sound controller - the entire player control panel is gone
In youtube it looks like this, everything is there, but resized so small it is almost invisible in upper left corner of player window:

Am I missing a component? Shoud the flashplayer-mozplugin.so also be there? (As of now I only have the flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so installed as 32 bit plugins).
These are the error messages generated in konsole while testing this random youtube movie page:
I particularily don't like the OpenSSL error mesages here, does anyone understand what they mean?

) , so I followed some instructions posted by gsdefender on ubuntuforums:
[*]Enable at least the "universe" repository in /etc/apt/sources.list, then do a
[*]Install some important packages for the 32 bit emulation layer, together with the ALSA support (for sound):
[*]Get the 32 bit konqueror-nsplugins package (the Netscape plugin detector) from here. Be careful to choose the i386 link at the bottom of this page.
[*]Rename some files that may collide with the 32 bit package:
[*]We need to extract only two files from the 32 bit - forcing installation of the package may break something severely. So I suggest installing Midnight Commander, that has a virtual file system for Debian packages:
[*]Open Midnight Commander as root with:
[*]Select the konqueror-nsplugins 32 bit package and press ENTER, then navigate to CONTENTS/usr/bin.
[*]Copy nspluginscan and nspluginviewer to /usr/bin by pressing Insert until the two files become yellow, then press F5 and write "/usr/bin" in the To: field.
[*]Quit the Midnight Commander, then do:
[*] Download http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"]Macromedia Flash player[/URL], decompress the archive and copy the needed files this way:
[*] Try Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Plugin -> Locate new plugins (I only "think" they are called as so, as all I have at the moment is the italian localization ), then see if a plugin is detected in Plugin.
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Code:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-kde lib32asound*
[*]Rename some files that may collide with the 32 bit package:
Code:
sudo mv /usr/bin/nspluginviewer /usr/bin/nspluginviewer64 sudo mv /usr/bin/nspluginscan /usr/bin/nspluginscan64
Code:
sudo apt-get install mc
Code:
sudo mc
[*]Copy nspluginscan and nspluginviewer to /usr/bin by pressing Insert until the two files become yellow, then press F5 and write "/usr/bin" in the To: field.
[*]Quit the Midnight Commander, then do:
Code:
sudo mv /usr/bin/nspluginviewer /usr/bin/nspluginviewer32 sudo mv /usr/bin/nspluginscan /usr/bin/nspluginscan32 sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nspluginviewer32 /usr/bin/nspluginviewer sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nspluginscan32 /usr/bin/nspluginscan
Code:
sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins tar xfz install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz sudo cp install_flash_player_7_linux/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins sudo cp install_flash_player_7_linux/flashplayer.xpt /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
