Flash Player 10 Beta on Ubuntu Hardy Heron AMD64


11 Jun '08, 09:16


I spent a little while searching for instructions on how to setup the beta version of Adobe Flash 10 on Ubuntu. Now I've found them, I'm putting them here for easy reference.

Note that these instructions are for the beta version of the latest Flash player. It may have some bugs or do something unexpected. Don't blame me for anything going wrong.

  1. Download the flashplayer file from the link below. Ensure it is saved to your desktop.
  2. Make sure the file is called flashplayer10_install_linux.tar.gz. If it's not, rename it. If you don't want to rename the file, then ensure the commands below reflect the correct file name.
  3. Open the terminal
  4. Copy and paste the following commands
    5. cd ~/Desktop
    tar -xzvf flashplayer10_install_linux.tar.gz install_flash_player_10_linux
    sudo mv -f ~/Desktop/install_flash_player_10_linux/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/
    sudo apt-get install -y nspluginwrapper
    sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/
  5. Restart Firefox
  6. Flash should now be installed and working
This has been tested on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron 64-bit. I don't know how well it works on other versions, or if it does at all.
