Post subject: Flash plugin installation for Firefox browser
Archived from groups: macromedia>flash (more info?)
I have a very simple question:
I am running Linux, and I use the latest Firefox browser. From this site
(Adobe) I downloaded the flash plugin
"flash-plugin-9.0.124.0-release.i386.rpm". Then I installed the package with
the "rpm -Uvh ... " command (as superuser of course). It appeared that the
installation succeeded. Afterwards, the command "rpm -q flash-plugin" shows
that it is installed. However, Firefox still does not see the plash player.
What else do I need to do? Can anybody help?

Thanks for your suggestions.
:sad;

Same problem with Ubuntu 8.04. Plugin not visible in either Firefox or Seamonkey.

It seems quite clear that the installation procedure is broken. Does nobody in Adobe care?

Adobe doesn't normally monitor these boards. You'll need to contact tech support or file a bug report.

hi fermifield: I need a little help. I am a new user to linux.
which flash should i use - tar.gz, .rpm or yum?
what are the commands in terminal to navigate to the directory of any file
(e.g. tar.gz's install package) or navigate to the desktop on mandriva2008?

thanks

try this

First, close running Firefox.
Open the terminal (shell prompt)

Install Flash Player
Type the following command to install :

$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

Some people might find voice is not working with newly installed flash player.
Type following commands to solve this problem

$ sudo apt-get install alsa-oss
$ gksudo gedit /etc/firefox/firefoxrc

Find line that read as FIREFOX_DSP and set to :

FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"

Save and close the file.
Close Firefox and restart it again.
