Hi everybody!

I will be very pleased if somebody can help me with this stuff....

3 years ago, I started using Opera Web Browser, and I feel uncomfortable using other browser.

In Ubuntu, I have found the impossibility of install Flash in Opera. Flash is working perfectly in Firefox by the way.

I have been looking for more information, I have tried with some tutorials:

http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=opera+flash+ubuntu&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

(they are all the same). It wasn't working for me because of some broken link in there, some file missing, some dependency broken, maybe I should try again with some help.

I have tried with the editing of an Opera file (i dont remember which one) and adding the lines redirecting with my flash lib and it wasn't work.

I have tried what Opera's FAQ suggests, and nothing

The plugin is instalated there, I see it:

luis@ubuntu:~$ locate libflashplayer.so
/home/luis/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/opera/plugins/libflashplayer.so

but nothing, I am completely frustrated with this...

What can I do?

Thank you beforehand!

Thanks, I was doing it right now :D Let's see

EDITED It works!!!

Thank you gandaran

Another doubt:

How can I activate the Spell Check in Opera, like when I write something wrong in Firefox and the misspelled word is marked with a red dot line... If I know that I 'd be the happiest guy in the world hehe

right click on the text, from the menu choose check spelling, just make sure you have the languages packs installed.
