Hi everybody.
I'm having problem with installing Flash Player from Software Center. Downloaded tar.gz file. Don't know what to do next. Can anyone help ?
Thanks everybody. :)
Summary
Here are two ways to install Flash Player from tar.gz file.
1. Manual
- Extract
tar.gzfile. - Copy
libflashplayer.soto appropriate Plugins folder. (ex: for Mr. Firefox :) plugins folder is/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/)
2. Using Terminal (Recommended)
- Open terminal (shortcut:
Control+Alt+T) - Enter folder where the archive is (using
cd(change dir) ). - Extract archive. Use
tar xvf <archivename>.tar.gz. - Copy
libflashplayer.soto appropriate Plugins folder. Usesudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/, press enter , enter admin password. Ready!
P.S. If you are not able to copy libflashplayer.so using Manual method use Terminal method.
you can install it from terminal. press Ctrl-Alt-t to open terminal. Then write down this line
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
it will install all multimedia for mp3,mpeg etc. including flash player. Or follow the link
Thanks dude. It works. :D
To make it work in Firefox, you just have to copy the libflashplayer.so file to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/. It always works like a charm.
In more datail, unzip the tar.gz and get into the folder. Then execute: sudo mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
what abt for chrome??
