I am facing problems in installing flash player. It had got the package uninstalled while removing other packages. Now, whenever I am trying to install the package flashplugin-installer, I am getting the following error:
E: flashplugin-installer: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
I have tried installing the package from Adobe website, from the repository, and have also tried installing the adobe-flashplugin.
I keep getting the same error every time.
To my knowledge, there is no package on the Adobe web site. You download file install_flash_player_11_linux.x86_64.tar.gz, move it to a directory by itself, and extract the contents. The contents will ba a file, libflashplayer.so, and a directory, usr.
You copy the .so file to the plugins directory for whatever browser you are using. On my system, using Firefox, that is /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
Then, you copy the contents of the usr directory to your system's /usr: "sudo cp -r ./usr/* /usr"
