Neither of aurthor worked for me (cannot untar the file) nor the Diablisko, it’s denies the access to move the file (libflashplayer.so) to the directory that needed.

Following on from my previous message it would appear that I had created an empty document called flashplayer-installer. I have deleted this document and now have a usrs folder and a file called libflashplayer.so. I am in a directory called #/install_flashplay_10_linux I then type ./flashplayer-installer but get the message no such file or directory

Any ideas

I have followed the instructions successfully until I get to the installer where I get the message permission denied. How do I change permissions?

Hey, I ran into a problem with this too. From the plugin doc page
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux-amd64.html

I installed libflashplayer.so to my plugin directory which was
/usr/lib64/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so

updated permissions so that it looks like this with ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12127284 2011-04-04 15:37 libflashplayer.so

and ran (which seemed to be the key):
nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so

Hope this helps

Hello,

As Jamesu mentioned, the tar.gz file only contains libflashplayer.so and there is not even a readme.txt included so I don’t really know what to do with this file. I already spent 2 evenings searching everywhere I could and nothing worked to get sound out of Firefox and Chrome when playing videos. I have the the Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102 plugin installed in Firefox.

I also already went through that guide: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/information-new-users/new-user-how-faq-read-only/407184-multi-media-restricted-format-installation-guide.html#post2180319

The link that was posted just above is broken.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The command “tar -zxvf install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz” does *not* result in a directory,
it is simply a .so file. So I don’t see how the “cd install_flash_player_10_linux”
command could ever work. So these instructions are useless.

I am also using 10.3 have the libflashplayer.so setting on my desktop. The hyper link posted for 10.3 no longer works. I have this problem listed on a couple of forums. Even downloaded a version that has installer. Still the same results. Has anybody found a way to work with the .so file?

Thank you

Sam
