As i understand flashplugin-installer installs link in the /usr/lib/firefox/plugins while current firefox-3.6 files are under /usr/lib/firefox-3.6/ directory.
I have two systems with Ubuntu Lucid. One fresh installed other upgraded from previous Ubuntu version. On both systems there was same problems with flash plugin. You can create link to flashplugin manually. Go to firefox plugins directory: cd /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins Create symbolic link to flashplugin: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so libflashplugin-alternative.so Name of the symbolic link must start with "lib" prefix. I have following links on my system: /usr/lib/firefox-3.6/plugins -> ../firefox-addons/plugins /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplugin-alternative.so -> /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so -> /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin -> /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so I think there is two problems with flashplugin-installer: 1) It places link in wrong place (or firefox is installed in wrong place :D) 2) It creates link with wrong name! Must be prefixed with "lib"! -- [lucid] flashplugin-installer doesn't work with Firefox 3.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532542 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
