原创 ubuntu 安装最新flash

Installation using Package Manager

Most of the time, you can install the Flash Player from the Synaptic Package Manager. In the Synaptic there are two packages:

• gnash - The free flash player
• flashplugin-nonfree - Adobe flash player

You can choose whatever flash player you want.

Manual Installation

To install the flash player, you have to extract the folder: install_flash_player_10_linux from the archive and then run the installer:

sudo ./flashplayer-installer

Hacking

I try to do little hacking here, so I uninstall the gnash and flashplugin-nonfree from the Synaptic Package Manager and searched in these directories:

• /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
• /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
• ~/.mozilla/plugins

sudo mv /usr/lib/swfdec-mozilla/libswfdecmozilla.so /usr/lib/swfdec-mozilla/libswfdecmozilla.old
sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/swfdec-mozilla/libswfdecmozilla.so

also I copied the libflashplayer.so to the /usr/lib/firefox/plugins directory.

sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so
sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so

Testing

When you open the Firefox addons dialog box, you should see the Shockwave Flash 10.0

Now you can browse to the Adobe Flash Player 10 demo website: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/demos/ and confirm that everything is working fine.

Once everything is working fine, you can go back to that plugin directory and delete the previous flash plugin.

sudo rm /usr/lib/swfdec-mozilla/libswfdecmozilla.old
