** Description changed: - Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree + Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree ; adobe-flashplugin Hi, I recently installed flashplugin-nonfree under Xubuntu 8.04 on two machines. To begin with, I tried to load a video on YouTube, but Firefox didn't offer me the flash installation, so I had to install it manually under the console. I installed from normal repos first, and it correctly installed flashplayer 9, but then I decided to activate the backports repo to get the latest plugin; so after doing so I attempted to install flashplugin-nonfree again, but it failed to download it, it seems that the URL is incorrect (in the URL that works it uses the subdomain "download", but with this package it attempts to access to the subdomain "fpdownload", and it doesn't exists), so I downloaded the .deb from Adobe's web directly, and it installed fine. After that, when trying to load a video on YouTube again, it still said that I had no flash installed, so I executed Firefox on the terminal and noticed it was missing some symlinks: ha...@harry-desktop:~$ firefox LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so [libnss3.so: no se puede abrír el archivo de objeto compartido: No existe el fichero ó directorio] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so [libnss3.so: no se puede abrír el archivo de objeto compartido: No existe el fichero ó directorio] So after replacing it and all of the missing symlinks, flash began to work: ha...@harry-desktop:~$ cd /usr/lib ha...@harry-desktop:/usr/lib$ ln -s libnss3.so.1d libnss3.so ha...@harry-desktop:/usr/lib$ sudo ln -s libnss3.so.1d libnss3.so ha...@harry-desktop:/usr/lib$ sudo ln -s libsmime3.so.1d libsmime3.so ha...@harry-desktop:/usr/lib$ sudo ln -s libssl3.so.1d libssl3.so ha...@harry-desktop:/usr/lib$ sudo ln -s libplds4.so.0d libplds4.so ha...@harry-desktop:/usr/lib$ sudo ln -s libplc4.so.0d libplc4.so ha...@harry-desktop:/usr/lib$ sudo ln -s libnspr4.so.0d libnspr4.so Please add those symlinks to default Ubuntu 8.04.1 so that flash will work correctly. (NOTICE: This happend exactly the same way on two machines, so I guess it's almost confirmed, isn't it?)
