I found a way to install the adobe flash plugin on my ubuntu box. Till now I was trying to install the .deb package from the adobe site which is named as (ubuntu 8.04+ ) and it alway got installed but never worked! So here’s a way:\
- Download thispackage.
- Close your firefox.\
- Open it with your archive manager and extract it in you home directory.
- Open a terminal and type: $\~/install_flash_player_10_linux/flashplayer-installer
- Follow the instructions and do a ‘yes’ when it says that the plugin will be installed in your home directory in the .mozilla folder.
Done! :)
