I am using Lubuntu 10.10 to browse the Internet right now to test out that very good and useful distribution of Linux and I needed to install the Adobe flash plugin for Chromium. I downloaded the tar.gz file containing the plugin for Linux and unpacked it by typing tar -xvf install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz
and then I had these files in the current working directory.
README libflashplayer.so usr/ usr/bin/ usr/bin/flash-player-properties usr/lib/ usr/lib/kde4/ usr/lib/kde4/kcm_adobe_flash_player.so usr/share/ usr/share/kde4/ usr/share/kde4/services/ usr/share/kde4/services/kcm_adobe_flash_player.desktop usr/share/icons/ usr/share/icons/hicolor/ usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/ usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/ usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/flash-player-properties.png usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/ usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/ usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/flash-player-properties.png usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/ usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/ usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/flash-player-properties.png usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/ usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/ usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/flash-player-properties.png usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/ usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/ usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/flash-player-properties.png usr/share/applications/ usr/share/applications/flash-player-properties.desktop usr/share/pixmaps/ usr/share/pixmaps/flash-player-properties.png root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu/Downloads# cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/ |
Then I installed the files by firstly running this command.
cd /usr/lib and mkdir mozilla && cd mozilla && mkdir plugins |
Then this command to install the required flash plugin.
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ |
Then after re-starting chromium, it worked perfectly. Very simple. In other news, I have recently received a copy of Doom3 from a friend which I am running on Windows 7. I will be downloading the Linux client very soon to enable me to run this game on a more secure operating system though. Doom3 is an amazing game and the whole Mars base is very well done.
