How to install debug flash player 11.1 on 64-bit

rated 0 times [ 7] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 15257 / 2 Years ago, sun, december 12, 2021, 5:57:27

I had Firefox working with the debug flash player that I downloaded from Adobe Flash Player Support Center following the instructions on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1300563. However, today, an automatic update came into my Ubuntu 11.10, which upgraded the flash player to 11.1.102.62 (a non-debug version).

When I copied the debug flash player again per instructions in the ubuntuforms link, flash does not work anymore.

I guess that the problem might be related to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/870835

If they are now using the 64-bit flash plugin, it would make sense that the 32-bit debug flash player (There is no 64-bit debug flash player for the moment) does not work.

Is there anybody who knows how to work around this so I get the i386 plugin back with the nspluginwrapper?

I found the workaround:

First install the 'nspluginwrapper':

sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper

or Using Software Center

Then copy the debug player to the correct location:

sudo cp ~/Downloads/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/

Next, call nspluginwrapper:

sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
