Hey, this isn’t working for me. When I do the apt-get update, I get some error messages at the end:

Err http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org dapper/3v1n0 Packages

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Afterwards I went ahead and tried apt-get install’ing the flashplugin-nonfree package:

you need to run this command to copy the key

sudo wget http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/EDD1E155.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

and the run

sudo apt-get update

now you try to run the flash plugin installation.

hope this helps

Yeah, I’ve followed your instructions 100%, and when I had trouble, I did it again. Merely repeating part of your instructions because you apparently assume I’m a moron who didn’t bother to read them is not helping. Thanks for playing anyway.

try this from flash source code

sudo wget -c http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer9_update/FP9_plugin_beta_101806.tar.gz

sudo tar -xvf FP9_plugin_beta_101806.tar.gz

sudo mv /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.7

sudo cp flash-player-plugin-9.0.21.55/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins

sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so

hope this helps

Which part of the fact he’s running an AMD64 isn’t making sense to you people?

Chuck – you’re stuffed. The Flash player is only for 32 bit systems. You might be able to get it to work by setting up a 32 bit system in a chroot as you would for FLash 7.
