Public bug reported: Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 alpha 5 x86_64
The amd64 flash plugin and nspluginwrapper didn't bind to firefox 3 properly upon installation. I can't see any flash content: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ Maybe it's the use of /usr/lib/ directory instead of /var/lib/ ? I know how to do it manually: sudo cp /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so ..but this wasn't necessary for Gutsy 7.10. nspluginwrapper: Installed: 0.9.91.5-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 0.9.91.5-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 0.9.91.5-1ubuntu1 0 500 http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/multiverse Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status flashplugin-nonfree: Installed: 9.0.115.0ubuntu4 Candidate: 9.0.115.0ubuntu4 Version table: *** 9.0.115.0ubuntu4 0 500 http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/multiverse Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ dir -l /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 2008-02-25 13:23 flashplugin-alternative.so -> /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin $ dir -l /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 56 2008-02-25 13:23 /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin -> /var/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree Reading package lists...
