    Re: Installing flash to play videos in steam?

    In case the above doesn't work, the eventual solution on Page 3 of the Steam Community thread finally solved it for me.

    sudo apt-get install libxt6:i386
    add libflashplayer.so to ~/.Steam/ubuntu12_32/plugins

    i searched for that package and only found sudo apt-get install libxt6, without the :i386 on it and there was no folder with what you listed but this location though
    Code:
    ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/
    and on top of it, it still doesn't work for me.

    It works !
    Like SeanBlader said.
    If you cannot locate the libxt6:i386 with apt-get , try aptitude instead.
    Code:
    sudo aptitude install libxt6:i386
    Code:
    apt-cache policy libxt6:i386
    libxt6:i386:
      Installed: 1:1.1.1-2build1
      Candidate: 1:1.1.1-2build1
      Version table:
     *** 1:1.1.1-2build1 0
            500 http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages
    Code:
    lsb_release -rcd ; uname -rm

    Codename:    precise

    Create the folder plugins
    Code:
    mkdir .steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/plugins
    copy in there the libflashplayer.so 32bit you have downloaded.
    Restart Steam.

    Re: Installing flash to play videos in steam?

    it wasn't that I couldn't play the game, it was merely that I couldn't play the trailer of the game within the steam window. i'll try to install that package you listed but it's not really that serious of an issue as if I want to watch a game trailer, i'd just open up my browser and search youtube for a video of the game.

    Thanks for showing us this though, i'm jealous as I only have a Nvidia 8400 GS and can't play on 1920x1080, i can still play on a decent res with medium settings though

    Yes I know .. post #15 is OffTopic , but rather to open a new thread I posted here
    I was bit excited that nouveau supports steam .. and I could play TF2 with nouveau. (even in low fps)
    I have read (various Web pages) that nouveau not supports steam , that steam couldn't even open.. etc.

    Be sure to download the 32bit FlashPlayer. The problem for me was that I downloaded the 64bit FlashPlayer.
    This is the correct one:
    Code:
    korn@pc:~$ md5sum Downloads/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz 
    b265e871269f9b3b5cebb559d58c2332  Downloads/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz
    Also I put it in the .steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/plugins/ directory.
