Further more in the plugin status, this plugin is said to be up to date.

Please could someone explain me?

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/blocked/p826 Flash Player Plugin on Linux 11.2.202.425 to 11.2.202.439

The 11.2.202.406 was from the Dec 9 update as there has been seven updates since with 11.2.202.440 being the current.

There may be a update from your Linux distro in package manager or you can get it from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

Thanks James but please, could you help me more because I get "--@--:~/Downloads$ rpm -ivh flash-plugin-11.2.202.440-release.x86_64.rpm rpm: RPM should not be used directly install RPM packages, use Alien instead! rpm: However assuming you know what you are doing... Error: wrong dependances:

       glibc >= 2.4 is wanted from flash-plugin-11.2.202.440-release.x86_64
       /bin/sh is wanted from flash-plugin-11.2.202.440-release.x86_64"

when I try to install 11.2.202.440-release.x86_64.rpm that I've been downloading through your link.

If you are using Ubuntu then you need .deb however Adobe does not provide Flash this way, only rpm and tarbal.

The RPM is short for Redhat Package Manager. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPM_Package_Manager

You would need to use the tarbal. You can put the libflashplayer.so in say plugins folder you create in mozilla so it will be ~/.mozilla/plugins/

By the way Adobe has released a new update for Flash on Linux.

11.2.202.442

Dear James,

Thank you very much but I don't understand your following sentence: "You would need to use the tarbal. You can put the libflashplayer.so in say plugins folder you create in mozilla so it will be ~/.mozilla/plugins/" When I click on the link, I have a chinese website that I do not understand.

I downloaded the last version of flash player in tar.gz this thime. After decompressing I read the "readme" which says: "Installing using the plugin tar.gz: o Unpack the plugin tar.gz and copy the files to the appropriate location. o Save the plugin tar.gz locally and note the location the file was saved to. o Launch terminal and change directories to the location the file was saved to. o Unpack the tar.gz file. Once unpacked you will see the following: + libflashplayer.so + /usr o Identify the location of the browser plugins directory, based on your Linux distribution and Firefox version o Copy libflashplayer.so to the appropriate browser plugins directory. At the prompt type: + cp libflashlayer.so <BrowserPluginsLocation> o Copy the Flash Player Local Settings configurations files to the /usr directory. At the prompt type: + sudo cp -r usr/* /usr" I also read in the internet that there is a very more simple way to install it. Please do you know it? I tried this way without any success betause I cannot copy the .so file in the plugins directory: "It is not allowed". I would be pleased to keep on be helped :-)

I just told you the simple way to have Flash.

In Home /.mozilla/ you make a folder named plugins and then place libflashlayer.so in it.

Note that the period with .mozilla means it is a hidden folder so make sure your file manager can see hidden folders/files.

The libflashlayer.so is the file name not a link as when you have a period at end of a word and something immediately after the period it may end up being made as a link on forum.

Note that you can also extract the libflashlayer.so file from the RPM file. I usually do that via a file manager and use the cursor Right key or other ways to open the packed file.

• flash-plugin-11.2.202.442-release.i386.rpm/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so

I prefer to download the RPM file because its file name includes the version number, so I know what version it is.

Thank you very very much James & cor-el! I hope that it will works. :-)
