I am using only Live CD to access web and must install flashplayer everytime when I turn on my laptop. I noticed that everytime when Adobe announce new release, my Ubuntu (Maryan) repositories are broken - you know this: sha256...la-la-la mismatch...flashplayer is not installed...There was no solution to solve, cause the old packages were not accessible from adobe.com anymore...I try deb and tar.gz packages of flashplayer 10 - but with no luck (some dependencies make probs - libpango 1.20.5 - although I reload synaptic to upgrade to that version, and install properly, nothing happens...no video at all!
I find another solution.
NOTE: FIRST UNINSTALL COMPLETELY THIS: FLASHPLUGIN-NONFREE, SWFDEC or GNASH or ADOBE-FLASHPLUGIN (with Synaptic or with sudo apt-get - search with Google or in Ubuntuforums.org 4 how2 do that...
After googling a lot, I find old packages of flashplayer9 at
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.htmlDefault path folder 4 me is Desktop.
Here is step-by-step how2:
Open terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal)
locate flash_player_9_linux.dev.tar.gz (hit Enter)
type this: cd /your output of previous command - path of the package
4 me this was:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls Desktop
(ls command list all files - folders on Desktop)flash_player_9_linux_dev.tar.gz ubiquity-gtkui.desktop
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cd Desktop
(my path of file download location)ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo tar -xzvf flash_player_9_linux_dev.tar.gz - sudo command needs your password, tar with options will uncompress your package) - hit Enter after typing every command!
