  4. // (lubuntu, ubuntu)
  5. // This is also a general personal "Spickzettel" from which others may take advantage

  8. FIXING FLASH ON CHROMIUM AND FIREFOX under LUBUNTU
  9. 1.) Do the latest flash plugin and player installation from Ubuntu / lubuntu / synaptics package manager (try Chromium, and flash won't work, try Firefox and it won't work either). this is version: 11.2.202.235 or 11.2.202.233 or 11.2.202.228
  10. (keep in mind: Adobe announced ver 11 would be the last flash player with support for linux)
  11.  
  12. 2.) Download from Adobe:
  13. http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_11.1.102.63_archive.zip
  14.  
  15. 3.) Unpack it in some folder of your choice
  16.  
  17. 4.) look for the right distribution, in the zip are distributions for WINi386, WIN_64, Linux_i386, Linux_AMD64 etc.
  18.  
  19. 5.) Once you found the right sub-package, you can unpack the tar-gz to a folder of your choice. The correct sub-package for my setup was :
  20. flashplayer11_1r102_63_linux.i386.tar.gz
  21.  
  22. 6.) After that, the only thing is to copy the file "libflashplayer.so" to the place your browser expects it. You can do this via your linux file manager, but you need root rights for that. Don't forget under your file manager to activate the "show hidden files" checker in oder to see the folder where it will go:
  23. /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin
  24.  
  25. 6a)
  26. and for Chromium support to:
  27. /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
  28.  
  29. 7.) An example how 6.) is made with the bash shell (replace my paths with yours):
  30. %username%@%Computername%:~$ sudo cp /%DownloadAndunpackFolder%/fp_11.1.102.63_archive/11_1r102_63_32bit/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin
  31.  
  32. and for 6a
  33. %username%@%Computername%:~$ sudo cp /%DownloadAndunpackFolder%/fp_11.1.102.63_archive/11_1r102_63_32bit/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
  34.  
  35. And if you wish to remove unused packages from your linux computer, use in terminal window:
  36.  sudo apt-get autoremove
  37.  
  38.  
  39. (To be continued)
