Here we are posting different solution for the above problem any one solution might work depends upon your sitiation.
Solution 1
Remove your old flash plugin using the following command
sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-*
--purge
Install the flash plugin using the following command
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
and restart browser works fine.
Solution 2
Your system may be using one of the open-source plugins (gnash or swfdec), which unfortunately don't work very well compared to Adobe's closed-source version.
sudo apt-get remove
--purge swfdec-mozilla swfdec-gnome mozilla-plugin-gnash gnash
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
Solution 3
This could be an issue with compiz. Can be fixed by installing compizconfig-settings-manager using the following command
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
Afterwards, go to System > Preferences > CompizConfig Settings Manager
Click on General Options. Uncheck Undirect Full Screen Windows
Solution 4
Download flash player from here
Extract using the following command
tar -xzvf libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
Place it in the folder ~/.mozilla/plugins. If plugins doesn't exist create it.
Install Flash in ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty)
If you install jaunty from start you can use the following command to install flash player
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
Thank you! swfdec needs more work.
thanks a lot, very first method worked
Hi – I find I have to copy the libflashplayer.so into the mozilla plugins directory before each time I start firefox otherwise flash does not work in the browser. There must be something else amiss in my settings or packages. Any ideas on where I can look to fix it?
Brilliant, I liked the name gnash, so decided to install it as my flash plug-in. Solution 2 sorted it out. Thanks
I’m a newbie, what does — stand for? and is there any chance for a screenshot?
thank you in advance
Thanks for the walkthroughs. #2 got me all fixed up thanks to a prev install of gnash.
solution 2 worked for me 😀
Thanks, solution 2 worked for me!
Thanks, solution 3 worked like a champ. I’ve been messing around with this for days.
Appreciate it.
sweet thanks works like a charm
Will this work for ubuntu 9.10 as well?
Thanks for this – solution 1 worked for me.
This solution works on some sites and not on others. more often than not I have to right click and chose “watch on youtube” 64 bit computing has been around for at least 10 years now and still not the simplest flash player.
Solution 2 worked for me, but with some tweaking. Instead I typed: sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree. Then just did the opposite: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree. I then rebooted and loaded up a flash site (youtube) and right-clicked a playing video, then under display unchecked hardware acceleration. If the above doesn’t help try what I did.
Btw I’m running Ubuntu 10.04. Kubuntu seems to have the same problem.
Solution 2 worked for me!!
Thanks for the solution!!
suggest some thing for Chrome!
Plz
Thanks. Solution 2 worked for me on Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04.
Thanks so much. Solution #1 worked for me without a hitch! And that was after trying all kinds of convoluted suggestions from other websites which didn’t work at all.
Solution 1 worked with me Thanks so much 🙂
Thanks so much, solution #1 didn’t work however,
Thanks, solution #2 worked for me!
I guess I should’ve tried #2 to start off, but oh well, I’m just happy it works now 🙂
I am using Chrome browser. I have done many things. Chrome says adobe flash is actually included in the browser. If I go to the little tool thingy –> Options –> Under The Hood –> Content Settings –> Cookies there is a link for Adope Flash settings. The settings are set on the web page you load up.
Then I went to plugins. Enabled and disabled. Then re-enabled.
Finally went to youtube played Unforgettable by Nat King Cole. Did a right click on the video. Disabled hardware acceleration.
Yes folks this actually worked.
I have tried all the above mentioned solutions but disabling the hardware accelerations is what finally did it.
Thank-you,
