Flash player for linux debian

[chrislandyuk]

Does anyone know whether adobe flash player can be successfully installed onto a linux (debian) operating system ?

I've tried all sorts of downloads from adobe but no success. The processor is MIPS and the browser is bon echo.

Any suggestions gratefully accepted!

Thanks

Adobe flash player is only available for i386 arch for now, The beta for amd64 arch is released.

May be you should try alternative like gnash or swfdec

Hi
Many thanks for reply, not up with the technology, is gnash or swfdec easierly installable and is there a download?
will websites configured to use adobe flash work the same in my browser?
thanks again
cheers

They are both available in the repositories. Just run the commands below. Update your sources, then install. As root:

apt-get update
apt-get install gnash

That's it, if there are no errors restart your browser and off you go.

also you can try enabling on the sources.list the backports repos...


and in the bottom of the file wou can add the backports repository, i dont remember it exactly, search "debian + backports"with google.

i founbd it, see here

#apt-get update
#apt-get install fashplugin-nonfree

(it works on Debian AMD64, i have it installed)
after install it, you can comment the backports line.

See you.
