Having trawled through the Ubuntu forums I came across this which looked like it would work to install Adobe Flashplayer (on Ubuntu Dapper 6.06LTS.)
Are you trying to upgrade to a later version of Flash? One possible method may be to download the .deb from Debian unstable which is version 9 and try installing that instead: http://packages.debian.org/sid/flashplugin-nonfree Once you've downloaded it, go $ sudo dpkg -i flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.48.0.2_i386.deb and if it complains about dependencies you could try forcing it: $ sudo dpkg --force-depends -i flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.48.0.2_i386.deb Otherwise, regarding the .tar.gz file from from Adobe: I notice it has a script in it called "flashplayer-installer". You could try running it: $ install_flash_player_9_linux/flashplayer-installer Finally, also check out: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ and http://www.tola.me.uk/blog/2007/09/21/flash_is_killing_the_web Cheers, Richard -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Richard Lewis http://www.richard-lewis.me.uk/ JID: ironchicken@jabber.earth.li -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- +-------------------------------------------------------+ |Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.| |http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html | +-------------------------------------------------------+
