Tell a bit more - what are you doing / what error messages do you get ?


Flashplugin-nonfree will:

1) download .tar.gz from Adobe with wget
(downloading to the /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree)
2) unpack tar.gz
3) install libflashplayer.so


Example

Here:

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

Re: adobe flash player

I can't get flash to work on my 64bit Intrepid machine. I have a feeling that "64bit" is the magic phrase here. I started fresh and followed your guide to the letter, however I have a couple different results.
After successfully downloading and installing the package

ls -l /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree

gives

total 3872
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3958529 2008-09-16 06:05 flashplayer10_install_linux_091508.tar.gz

Is this just a newer version? (i.e. built on 15th September '08 as opposed to yours which was built on 7th February '08)

locate libflashplayer.so

gives

/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
/var/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so

I'm not sure what npwrapper is. I am using ndiswrapper to use the Windows driver for my wireless, but that's the only thing I can think of (with n and wrapper in the name )

Is there anything else you can recommend to fix this issue? This is the only problem I have with this release and the only thing preventing me from ditching GNOME and embracing KDE.

Edit: In the end I just downloaded the 32 bit version and flash works fine. It's a real pity that flash for 64 bit architecture is being neglected.
One thing that is a bit odd still is when I try to view another youtube video using the links at the end of a video, the new video doesn't load until I refresh the page. If you can decipher that last sentence you can probably address the issue too
