Some people have found the new version of Adobe’s Flash player to offer greater stability (fewer crashes) in the Ubuntu version of Firefox. Others just like to try cutting edge software. Either way, this is how you install Flash 10 beta in Ubuntu. <\/p>\n
Probably the easiest way to do it is to download the .deb file of it from your local mirror<\/a> and then double-click it. <\/p>\n If you prefer to install the .tar.gz from the Adobe website, copy and paste the following commands into the terminal<\/a>: <\/p>\n This command uninstalls the Ubuntu repositories version of Flash 9. <\/p>\n This downloads the Flash 10 beta compressed file. <\/p>\n This extracts the files contained in the compressed file. <\/p>\n This command copies the Flash plugin to the Firefox plugins folder. <\/p>\n This command removes the extracted files folder. <\/p>\n This command removes the originally downloaded compressed file. <\/p>\n Below is what the whole process looks like: <\/p>\n username<\/i>@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree<\/b> 100% 18:23:44 (620.39 KB\/s) – `flashplayer10_install_linux_081108.tar.gz’ saved username<\/i>@ubuntu:~$ tar -xvzf flashplayer10_install_linux_081108.tar.gz<\/b> If you run into problems, post a support thread at the Ubuntu Forums<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some people have found the new version of Adobe’s Flash player to offer greater stability (fewer crashes) in the Ubuntu version of Firefox.
