john@landallc:~$ sudo apt-cache search flashplayer
[sudo] password for john:

john@landallc:~$

Is above correct? Is Adobe Flashplayer supposed to show as an add-on or extension in Firefox?

Hello All

I have been struggling with flash on my Presario 2100 for a week now

Ubuntu 12.04

When I go to a flash webpage it tells me I am missing the plugin. I have tried a few posts including pasting .so file from version 63. That seemed to work last night but it stopped this morining again.

Firefox and chrome no work. To not for a while chrome wold not even run it would just crash.

I really need some help here

I installed the latest flash player directly from adobe but that didnt seem to fix the problem for me either. But i installed hal and then it seemed to be back to normal. sudo apt-get install hal worked for me!

Well done, Corvax!

I was puzzled because graphics performance suffered severely when trying to watch full-screen videos. Curiously, this problem didn't happen until after I changed from a two-screen setup to a single 27" display. I've been working around this by downloading videos using Flashgot and then playing them back in Totem. Installing Hal fixed it.

Thanks to you, I got to watch the Curiosity rover land on Mars in full-screen glory.

I was unable to watch any video.

Had the same problem. Ran sudo apt-get install hal and now it works fine. Easy peezy! Thanks, Corvax.

Same problem - I have Chromium & Firefox, Ubuntu restricted extras installed, Adobe flash plugin as well as hal. Still no dice. I tried downloading the package directly from Adobe, but that did not work either.

I even installed google chrome stable, which should be using it's own flash plugin, but that did not work either.
Any ideas?

I can confirm this.

I did an installation of the ubuntu-restricted stuff
I also did an installation of the latest flash-player using the ubuntu software center (prompted by the thing you click on inside amazon)
I did a reboot.

The thing that finally 'got it working' was installing the hal package.

Thanks to all.

I have been fighting with my flashplugin-nonfree for a couple weeks now. I posted another thread here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2136693 but I was wondering if this thread is closer in subject to what I'm dealing with. I cannot, for the life of me, remove flashplugin-nonfree from my machine! I am running 12.04 on a sony vaio vgn-fe770g. I have tried through synaptic to remove it, I have tried installing flashplugin-installer which would remove "nonfree", still no luck. I am running into the same error code over and over.

I am sorry for posting this in more than one location, so if mods would like to merge these threads or delete mine, I am just trying to get some insight into this problem.

all i had to do in my mythbuntu 12.04 install was open software center, search flashplayer and then install the only 1 that showed up and my flash videos within google chromium browser works
