Install Flash Player 9 Update in Ubuntu Dapper
First you need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
add the following Repository list and save the file
deb http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org dapper 3v1n0
deb-src http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org dapper 3v1n0
Install Flash Player 9 Update in Ubuntu Edgy
First you need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
add the following Repository list and save the file
deb http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org edgy 3v1n0
deb-src http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org edgy 3v1n0
Now you need to copy the key for this Repository list using the following
sudo wget http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/EDD1E155.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add –
Update the source list using the following command
sudo apt-get update
Install flash player Plugin and flash player using the follwoing command
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree flashplayer-nonfree
One more method is you can install this from pre compiled binary .If you want to install pre compiled binary download flashplayer from here
extract the tar.gz file and copy libflashplayer.so file to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins or ~/.mozilla/plugins (check where this directory is located in your ubuntu desktop)
sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
or
sudo cp libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins
change the permissions using the following command
sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
sudo chmod +x ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
I needed to use this apt sources entry instead:
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb edgy 3v1n0
deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb edgy 3v1n0
because the server issued a redirect to another host that aptitude install (and propably apt-get) was not able to handle. aptitude update worked however.
per Trevino’s site: http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/dists/edgy/3v1n0/
the repos should be
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb edgy 3v1n0
deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb edgy 3v1n0
(replace edgy with dapper if needed)
otherwise you get an error when trying to update (404 or something along those lines)…
Hope this helps someone!

sudo: gedit: command not found
can someone help me please?
There’s no update instruction in this document. So it may not work. Please execute #apt-get update command before installing.
