I could never get the apt-get version to work either. Try downloading and unpacking the *.deb file instead. Then install the libflashplayer.so plugin manually.
After going to the Adobe website and downloading the deb package for Flash, go to superuser and root and type the following from the download directory:
Code:
dpkg -i install_flash_player_10_linux.deb
When dpkg is done unpacking, go to root and cut and paste
Code:
cd /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin && ls -FAtrls | grep libflashplayer.so
Just to make sure that you have the libflashplayer.so file somewhere on your computer. File should light up in red text.
There are a number of places that libflashplayer.so can go on the machine. Why not copy to each plugin directory? (if you can spare 60 mb or so)
Copy libflashplayer.so to the following directories. I'll batch the command (using &&) to make things easier.
Code:
cp /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ &&
cp /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ &&
cp /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.15/ &&
cp /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/ &&
cp /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/
Is this wasteful and redundant? Yes, but the copies can be pruned back later if necessary.
Don't forget to exit root.
Open up youtube and see what happens.
