    Why are you making it difficult with that? On Ubuntu, it’s easy.

    Type without using Adobe packages; it's too annoying to unzip them, etc., when you're not comfortable:

    In a terminal type:

    sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

    Then password.

    And normally, it works fine.

    It’s not more complicated than that...

    Otherwise, there’s Linux Mint, which is Ubuntu with this kind of packages pre-installed.

      64-bit users: Download a pre-release version of Flash Player with native support for 64-bit Linux at Adobe Labs.

      Hello,

      Impossible for me, even as root...

      How much time wasted with all these hassles, it would be interesting to collect statistics; we all would have been better off reinstalling Windows than dealing with this damn plugin on Linux... lol

      Personally, since I've been into computers, I've probably lost several years of my life solving all sorts of problems... :-D

      PS: to be fair, Adobe Flash doesn't make plugin installation any easier... lol

      Good luck to everyone! lol

      I completely agree with you! Ever since I got Linux, I feel like they made everything more complicated and in the end, yes it works better, but you can do 30 times less or at least you lose a certain ease.

      Agreed with Lazare. I installed Ubuntu and I'm wasting a lot of time. As for whether what they call Windaube works less well, I don't find that. I have an XP that has been running fine for nearly 10 years and I'm very happy with 7. That said, Linux on USB is convenient, but then it really is a philosophy, why make it simple when you can make it complicated. An hour trying to install Flash Player. When I finally found the folder, it seems that I don't have sufficient admin rights even though I'm supposedly the administrator.

    [Hello everyone.
    First of all, .so files are extensions (or plugins), and you should only copy the one from Adobe Flash for the 64-bit versions of Ubuntu, it seems.
    Aside from that:
    doc.ubuntu-fr.org wrote:

    Installing Flash Player 10 (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and later)
    1. Close all instances of your Internet browser;
    2. Go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal. Type: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
    3. Open your Internet browser again. Check that your installation of Flash Player was successful by displaying a test animation: Test Flash Player.

    The package is not found?
    Flash Player is available in the Canonical partner repository. By default, access to this repository should already be set up. If you can't find the package adobe-flashplugin, check that you have enabled access to this repository:
    1. Open System > Administration > Software Sources;
    2. Open the Third-party Software tab;
    3. Check the box to enable the repository http://archive.canonical.com;
    4. Close this window;
    5. Open the terminal, type: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin]

    Hello everyone, I am stuck starting from step 4 of this website: https://www.adobe.com/fr/products/flashplayer.html#section-3 for the tar.gz installation
    If someone could explain to me clearly where to go because I don’t know how to do anything, I have an Acer Aspire One.

    Thank you in advance, don’t hesitate if you need more information.

    Hello,

    I made a tutorial on installing the Flash player on Linux. It is available here: http://www.alanlemoal.fr/tutorials/flash_player.php

    Hoping it will be useful.

    The same problem as the little one from September 18 after installing tar.gz. I extract the folder (is decompressing the same thing?), however nothing appears in the root file.
    When Klod wrote on September 24, 2009, "then go to root and do
    locate firefox/plugin
    note the link (for me it's: /usr/bin/Firefox2.0/firefox/plugins/
    and do:
    cp /home/claude/Downloads/libflashplayer.so /usr/bin/Firefox2.0/firefox/plugins/," what does that mean?

    Please help me, I'm really struggling with Linux!!!!
    Thank you very much for your availability.

    Pour installer un programme téléchargé sur Internet avec Ubuntu, suivez ces étapes :

    1. **Téléchargez le fichier** : Assurez-vous de savoir où le fichier a été téléchargé (généralement dans le dossier "Téléchargements").

    2. **Ouvrez un terminal** : Vous pouvez le faire en cherchant "Terminal" dans le tableau de bord ou en appuyant sur `Ctrl + Alt + T`.

    3. **Accédez au dossier du fichier** : Utilisez la commande `cd` pour changer de répertoire. Par exemple, si le fichier se trouve dans "Téléchargements", tapez :
    ```
    cd Téléchargements
    ```

    4. **Installez le programme** : Cela dépend du type de fichier que vous avez téléchargé :
    - Si c'est un fichier `.deb`, vous pouvez l'installer avec :
    ```
    sudo apt install ./nom_du_fichier.deb
    ```
    - Si c'est un fichier compressé (comme `.tar.gz`), vous devrez le décompresser et peut-être exécuter un script d'installation.
    - Pour des applications sans installation spécifique, lisez le fichier `README` ou `INSTALL` inclus dans le dossier où se trouve le fichier pour des instructions précises.

    5. **Suivez les instructions** : Suivez toutes les instructions spécifiques pour l'installation données par le programme.

    6. **Lancez le programme** : Une fois installé, vous pouvez généralement le trouver dans le menu des applications ou en le lançant via le terminal.

    N'oubliez pas de vérifier la sécurité des fichiers que vous téléchargez avant de les installer.

      You are looking for the terminal (it's a small black screen resembling a TV with white edges with ">" on top).

      Then you type: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

      and your password.

      Then if you want to know how to install a file on Ubuntu, everything is indicated on the Ubuntu site. It's different from Windows.
