Well.........I tried what you said. BUT, there was no such file in root. There was a usr/lib64/firefox64/plugins., but no 32!!. remember firefox/flash works fine as root, but not as another user.
So, I chown the firefox64 files to a new user group that includes everybody. didn't work.
The strange this is, before I ran your script on the non user screen, I use to get "need to download flash player" messages on the web page. Now after running the script , having flash work one time, when I go to a web page, I don't get the "need to download flash player" message any more. That part of the web page is just blank.
BTW, there's someone else with the same problem on another one of your threads (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...+flash&page=15)
As always, thanks for your brilliant help!!

I had to update the script. Try the new one please. Please dont rename it. Navigate to the directory and use ./3in1 to start it. If the choosing feisty will not install it, try Edgy. The script is the same except 1 package and that should auto update.
.
Ok thanks or going to the trouble, but I still can't use the 'openin terminal' option as it does not appear double clicking does nothing, opening directly in a terminal does nothing as the command stops at the spaces in the name. I opened the file by puting an '_' in the spaces of the file name, but as you said not to rename I haven't tried that with the install file.
Re: Howto Install 32 bit Firefox with Flash w/sound and Java for AMD64
Update: I got it to work fine by taking the word 'install' from the script name then running the script in a terminal.

What script are you running? The latest script is named "3in1", it doesn't have install in it.
Re: Howto Install 32 bit Firefox with Flash w/sound and Java for AMD64

In running the newest script, I can't seem to get the Java plugin installed.

It has not been tested with Gutsy as Gutsy is still in Alpha testing. It should work, so be the first to try it and let us know how it went. Use the Feisty option.
Re: Howto Install 32 bit Firefox with Flash w/sound and Java for AMD64
It's a no-go in Gutsy. And Update Manager now wants to install a newer version of nspluginwrapper, but an error occurs.
EDIT: I think that I am posting in the thread for the wrong script.
Re: Howto Install 32 bit Firefox with Flash w/sound and Java for AMD64
Thank you. I started running Feisty Fawn on a home built AMD 64 pc about two months ago. I tried to get nspluginwrapper to work, and failed to do so. I was fairly resigned to no Flash but found some flash stuff that I wanted very badly to view so I used your script. So far, so good. Thanks again.:)
