I had a similar experience. Flashplayer was not working. I went to Adode and downloaded the tar.gz file for Flashplayer 9 - unpacked it and tried sudo ./flashplayer-installer as directed - got no errors
but flashplayer still didn't work at adobe I got more information and I manually copied the libflashplayer.so and flashplayer.xpt (there was a file named libflashplayer.so already in the folder but flashplayer.xpt was lacking) using sudo at the command line from the folder on my desktop into /usr/lib/firefox/plugins I did that while I had the manual install instructions open in firefox things hung for a few seconds and I tried to close some windows to free things up (I had two nautilus windows open to help me locate the plugins folder) I tested the installation with the Adobe test and it says it is fine. Perhaps you will find something helpful in the bug report file. I will attach it now ** Attachment added: "full 14.2 MB report of crash after copying libflashplayer.so and flashplayer.xpt to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins while firefox was running" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5805285/_usr_lib_firefox_firefox-bin.1000.crash -- Firefox crashes after installing flash-player plugin https://launchpad.net/bugs/80562 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
