Flash Plugin installation

[Ilross]

I have the same machine and software as Carlsewell (software version: Eee pc 1.1.0.66; Biosversion 0802) and I followed this advice to the letter:

download the tar.gz version:

extract it (can probably just right click and choose 'extract here' or similar)

go into the 'install_flash_player_10_linux' directory and copy the file 'libflashplayer.so'

paste this file into '.mozilla/plugins/' in your home directory - this is a hidden directory, so you'll have to select 'show hidden files' or similar from your file manager.

restart firefox, enjoy.

As far as I can tell, absolutely nothing happened. Do you have any further advice?

Other options to .mozilla/plugins/ are:
.mozilla/firefox/plugins/
.firefox/plugins/
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
/usr/lib/firefox-<version number>/plugins/
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/
/usr/lib64/firefox-<version number>/plugins/
/usr/lib32/mozilla/plugins/
/usr/lib32/firefox-<version number>/plugins/

Look to see what you've got, and experiment to see which works for you.
