Nothing seems to happen? Something wrong here?

Sorry, wrong target it should be:

Code: Select all
sudo update-alternatives --auto libflashplayer.so

But it may be it doesn't have any alternative so it won't work, but the other purpose of the command is to rebuild the symlink chain in case it is broken so it is still worth trying.

Nothing seems to happen with this command either, no result.

Or here is another one to try along the same lines:

Code: Select all
sudo update-alternatives --config libflashplayer.so

It gives a bit more output so might give a clue.

Ok. This is the result

Code: Select all: sudo update-alternatives --config libflashplayer.so [sudo] password for titti: There is only one alternative in link group libflashplayer.so (providing /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so): /opt/mint-flashplugin-11/libflashplayer.so Nothing to configure.

What does this mean then?

by **viking777** on Fri Jan 11, 2013 2:23 pm

What does this mean then?

It means you have the correct plugin installed in the correct place and therefore FF should be able to read it. (you never did show me the output of 'about:plugins')
It also means I have no idea why flash doesn't work for you, sorry.
Try some of the other suggestions.

Yes I did, or atleast I tried to, I don't know if i wrote a clear answer, you can see my post shortly after you asked for the about plugins, the result was no different to your example so I thought this wasn't importaint. Thanks anyway for trying to help me, it seems like I soon have to use the method I read somewher else for a similar flashproblem in linux. The solution to this was to reboot to windows when you needed flashplayer. I just thought there would exist a better solution to my problem.

by **viking777** on Fri Jan 11, 2013 2:47 pm

Just before we give up, navigate to this page using FF and tell me if you can play the video there:

http://www.macslocum.com/html5-video.html

This is html5 (which is supported in the latest FF version) and it does not rely on Flash at all. If you can play this then I guess you have a problem with Flash (though I don't know what it is) If you can't play this then maybe the problem is not with Flash at all, but somewhere in your graphics setup - which might explain why you had to remove the ubiquity slideshow when you installed.

Just a thought.

by **squiesuie** on Fri Jan 11, 2013 2:52 pm

Yes I can play html5 video, no problem. Html5 works in youtube also, (the problem is a large part of the videos in youtube aren't available in html5). Would this indicate i do have a software problem?

by **viking777** on Fri Jan 11, 2013 2:54 pm

It would seem to indicate that to me, but I don't know what it is. Try zerozero's suggestion. I am going off line now.

by **squiesuie** on Fri Jan 11, 2013 2:58 pm

Thanks again viking777 for trying to help. I hope someone have any other suggestions to my problem.

zerozero wrote:the correct command to install adobe flashplayer is
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

I have tried this also, several times i think, no improvement. Anyone have any more suggestions?

kc1di wrote:Let's try this again =
go to a terminal and type:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplayer

then check to see if libflashplayer.so is in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
if not we will do it the hard way.

This resulted in

Code: Select all: $ sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplayer [sudo] password for : Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package adobe-flashplayer

Could there be something here?
kc1di, what is the hard way then?

by **zerozero** on Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:05 pm

what is the output of

Code: Select all: locate libflashplayer.so

by **squiesuie** on Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:08 pm

Hello zerozero,

The output is

Code: Select all: ~ $ locate libflashplayer.so /etc/alternatives/libflashplayer.so /opt/mint-flashplugin-11/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/libflashplayer.so

by **zerozero** on Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:20 pm

this was not what i was expecting, you have way too many libflashplayer.so in the system and i'm not surprised that FF can't properly read flash (they all conflict)
here's my output (without flash problems)

Code: Select all: zerozero@deb-kde ~/Documents $ locate libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so zerozero@deb-kde ~/Documents $

by **squiesuie** on Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:30 pm

Ok zerozero,
I have tried installing/reinstalling flashplayer many times/different ways/versions, I suppose the many libflashplayer.so could be a result of that? Any idea how I should fix it?
Sorry, I am new to this, I don't have much skill about any of this.

by **zerozero** on Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:40 pm

ok what we are going to try is rename all those .so to .so.bk except mint's flash (for now) and see if this solves the issue

copy&paste each one of these commands one at a time exactly as they are here

Code: Select all: sudo mv /etc/alternatives/libflashplayer.so /etc/alternatives/libflashplayer.so.bk

Code: Select all: sudo mv /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so.bk

Code: Select all: sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/libflashplayer.so /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/libflashplayer.so.bk

after this try youtube and tell us something

by **squiesuie** on Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:49 pm

Ok. I copy pasted each command one at a time

Code: Select all: user@user-desktop ~ $ sudo mv /etc/alternatives/libflashplayer.so /etc/alternatives/libflashplayer.so.bk [sudo] password for user: user@user-desktop ~ $ sudo mv /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so.bk user@user-desktop ~ $ sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/libflashplayer.so /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/libflashplayer.so.bk user@user-desktop ~ $

Then I tested youtube in FF... No working flash.
Didn' get much output from the commands in the terminal, don't know if I was supposed to? Now I have to go offline. I will be back. Hopfully this problem can be fixed.

by **zerozero** on Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:58 pm

no you're not supposed to get any output from the terminal.

let's rename the last one then

Code: Select all: sudo mv /opt/mint-flashplugin-11/libflashplayer.so /opt/mint-flashplugin-11/libflashplayer.so.bk

now you are going to update the system (give us always the terminal output)

Code: Select all: apt update

and try to install adobe's flash

Code: Select all: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

squiesuie wrote:Hello meteorrock. Yes I have been trying with Opera also, but no sucess so far. I tried checking your points, as far as I can understand plugins are enabeled and in the plug in path I have:
Code: Select all
usr/lib/opera/plugins:/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin:/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins:/usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins
can this be correct?

If I open "about opera" there is a list of paths, where I have:
Code: Select all
Plug-in path /usr/lib/opera/plugins /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins
Can this be correct?

Yes, just highlight the /usr/lib/opera/plugins/. On mine I had that libflashplayer.so downloaded in the other folder you got on the third line called /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ and it did not work. That is where your libflashplayer.so is stored by default for the Firefox browser plugins when you install Linux Mint. For some reason only Firefox can recognize that folder. After I hight-lighted the top PATH like what you have listed and used the "Change PATH" options in the advanced tab you listed above and restarted Opera, that I was able to get my flashplayer and .pdf file viewers working with Adobes plugins.

When I went to go watch youtube videos after this workaround it still said I had a missing plugin even after this change, just click on the video saying "missing plugin'" and you will see the Opera browser kind of flicker and restart that video properly playing this time. Just click on that box saying "missing plugin" on the video box itself and it will reset.

Some sort of strange bug where other browsers are not fetching your flashplayer from the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ correctly where your < libflashplayer.so > is stored by default on your linux mint build, which comes with that bloated and laggy Firefox browser with its adware toolbar. As I did not like Firefox with its adware toolbars I had this problem getting flashplayer to play on youtube with other browsers. These methods worked for me for getting adobe flash player to work correctly with Opera, even though I had the < libflashplayer.so > already downloaded on my computer and rechecking if it was on my computer in the CLI (command line interface) these other guys suggested above.

Also check your file system directory on your desktop and see if your < libflashplayer.so > is installed inside the /usr/lib/opera/plugins/ directory. If you do not see it in there you will have to re-download adobe flash player and extract it on the desktop. To move this file, if you get a permission denied like I did you will have to install nautilus and run it as superuser (su). Here is the code for that.

Code: Select all: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nautilus

This app will let you move that < libflashplayer.so > to the correct directory if it is not in the /usr/lib/opera/plugin/ directory on your linux mint build.

Now open up your terminal and run nautilus.

Code: Select all: gksu nautilus

A GUI will open up and will let you copy, cut and paste using the right click on the mouse for that < libflashplayer.so > to the correct directory from where-ever on the desktop you downloaded it. By default mine was downloaded in the temp files for Opera. Just go into the download tab of opera and right click on the adobe flashplayer that finished downloading to open up that folder. You can either extract it in the correct folder from the tar.gz now or just move the < libflashplayer.so > from where-ever you extracted it earlier.

Be careful with the "nautilus" app, do not use it to move any other files around except moving the < libflashplayer.so > that is your adobe flashplayer. If you do you will bork out your linux mint build.

~~~~~~~~~~```

Do not forget to go back and recheck the page >> developers tools >> plugins and refresh in that options too for Opera if you had to move that <libflashplayer.so > to the correct directory. That way you will get rid of that "missing plugin" on other sites that have embedded youtube videos and other flash videos and make them appear to you and to render correctly for flash players on other sites. You should notice the "shockwave player" option box in that page for Opera if you did the above correctly.

When you get more experience with moving files you can do all of this from the command line using the mv command and mounting your path variables back and forth in the terminal. But for now this should get you up and going.

Hope that helps you

I did get some errors, 404 not found and failed to fetch on the updates, could this affect the flashplayer in some way?

Although I am not zerozero, check this thread here on changing your repositories servers to the closest ones to you. That helped me with my headers not updating. Did you follow my instructions above? I got some linux skills over in cyanogenmod and XDA forums even though I am new here. Check my work here at cyanogenmod nook color. http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/forum/222- ... ook-color/

Here is the link for that header repository servers here in the forums that helped with your 404 not found for some of those links in your terminal as you update your apt-get. Follow the instructions given to me just a day or two ago. Did you find your < libflashplayer.so > as you were told above? While your headers need updating, I do not think that is the problem for you not having your flashplayer not working. viewtopic.php?f=180&t=122148

I will copy paste that in here for you from the link above, that might help for your errors updating your headers in your terminal.

Welcome to Linux Mint Sounds like you are having fun! Hack on

You can switch to a mirror server for the Linux Mint repository, this should reduce the lag caused by the Update Manager. To switch, open Software Sources from the menu, in the "Download from" selection box choose "Other" and in the window that opens either choose a mirror server yourself or use the "Select Best Server" to test them all and be recommended one. Confirm with "Choose Server" and providing your password. More complete description and steps here: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=122213.
