Install Flash Player 10 in Linux
Rating: +0
The RC(Release Candidate) for Adobe’s Flash Player is out. Flash Player 10 includes mosly performance upgrades on the linux side. Now you can run full screen video without the video being too choppy. Since Adobe joined FOSS they have been focusing alot on the Linux side for their programs, which pleases alot of Open Source Enthusiasts.
Let’s get to the installation. First you need to delete the file libflashplayer.so from
/home/[your username]/.mozilla/plugins
Now that u have removed libflashplayer.so we need to uninstall flash player altogether to do that enter this command into a terminal:
sudo apt-get remove libflash-mozplugin libflashsupport flashplugin-nonfree
Now the final command to install Flash Player 10 remember before executing this command Close Firefox !
cd /tmp
wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_install_linux_081108.tar.gz
tar -zxvf flashplayer10_install_linux_081108.tar.gz
cd install_flash_player_10_linux
./flashplayer-installer
Though this is an RC release i have not had any problems with crashing or performance issues
