A Carafe of Ubuntu
I updated my software today through apt-get. It updated opera and adobe flash plugin. Now I can not play youtube and vimeo videos anymore in opera. I tried firefox, but it crashes whenever I tried to play videos, so I assume it is a problem with the latest flash update. Is there a way to roll it back to the previous version. I am using lucid lts!
Gee! These Aren't Roasted!
Install the add-on in this thread:

restart Firefox. Click on the Flash Aid button somewhere in the top right (you may have to drag it there from customise first) and choose check update. Install the beta version with only Override Gpu Validation ticked. That's worked for me on 3 different installs so far.

I had this problem and this thread helped me fix it. I don't know if it'll work for Opera, but it worked for Firefox. Flash-Aid didn't work for me.Originally Posted by noalternative

Good luck.

I just used this. It was easy.

I am using Flash plugin version 11.2 r202 on 10.10. I had updated Firefox and flash no longer worked.

This whole mess is a result of the newest flash version 11.2.202.228 either causing big problems with all flash videos or in certain cases just causing colour problems in them.
See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...ighlight=flash for a lot of discussion of the problem, and the best way to solve it, in my opinion, by going back to version 11.1r102. You need to get the older version first from http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Utili...ux-18853.shtml then extract the libflashplayer.so from the tar version. not the rpm version, and replace the current libflashplayer.so. You can find your current location from firefox by typingin the addressbar.Code:about:plugins
Using the flash-aid add-on for firefox, which I normally recommend to everyone, did not help at all, as it gave me the same version as the normal updates from the repos.

If you use the Beta option, which is suggested by default, it will install 11.2.202.221 and not 11.2.202.228. However, I am not running a nVidia machine, so cannot test if that version fixes the problem.

Using Beta version, via Flash-Aid wizard, as in the post above, hasn't worked for me.
So am now going to try ajgreeny's method several posts up.
Will report back. This is infuriating.
Strangely, Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> check up to date reports that Java is disabled
and requires updating, as per;
"For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version
of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version."

Thanks for reporting.

Success, for me. Again, with reference to the ajgreeny post above;
On my machine,
/usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so
is a link to
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so (17406436 bytes)
The libflashplayer.so extracted from the tar install file (see above), is,
../Downloads/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386/libflashplayer.so (17047244 bytes)
In su, I copied the newly extracted version and overwrote the
version in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
Success, and this seems robust. Great! Many thanks.
