I installed an old version of flash player to keep using flash content until adobe releases a new version that works. I did this manually since repository doesn't have older versions and I couldn't use Synaptic's force version option.
This is what I did (on Ubuntu Precise 32bit): * I Downloaded archived package (Flash Player 11.1.102.63 (174 MB)) from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html * I then extracted release version of flash player for 32 bit linux archive and extracted libflashplayer.so from that (readme.txt has documentation for the packages) * I have flashplayer-installer installed and that places the .so to /usr/lib/flashplayer-installer/ so I backed up that file and copied downloaded version in that folder: - cd /usr/lib/flashplayer-installer/ - sudo mv libflashplayer.so libflashplayer.so_backup - sudo cp ~/Downloads/libflashplayer.so . * Then made sure that both libraries have the same permissions and that the owner is root (they were) - ls -la * I had latest version installed elsewhere so flash wasn't working yet. I had to rename libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/ so that firefox wasn't using that anymore. * Flash was working and it reports the earlier version. Next I did a sanity check and flash didn't work with the new library version but works with the old one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/967182 Title: Flash plugin 11.2.202.228 breaks firefox and chromium in Precise and Oneiric To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin/+bug/967182/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
