Updated to latest Flash, but its not working?

**hongman** · 03-26-2012

Hi

I just installed Backtrack 5 to my laptop hdd, and am going through adding some useful apps.

I installed Flash by doing the apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree command.

It worked, but after a reboot it's no longer working - all Flash sites (youtube, dailymotion) say Flash needs to be installed.

Apt-get says the newest version is on.

Using FF11 (latest).

Help!

As you may have noticed Flash Player does not work on Backtrack 5, so in order to fix this we first need to remove the current flash player by issuing the following commands:

Install Flash Player - BackTrack Linux

I don't run BackTrack but wikis are wonderful when done up right like this one is.

Thanks!

I followed the instructions but I've having some trouble.

Step 1:
root@bt:~# apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree flashplugin-installer gnash gnash-common mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla
root@bt:~# rm -f /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/*flash*
root@bt:~# rm -f /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/*flash*
root@bt:~# rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/*flash*
root@bt:~# rm -f ~/.mozilla/plugins/*flash*so
root@bt:~# rm -rfd /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper

This was all fine.

Step 2:
Download Flash x64 - fine
Download Flash Player - link is broken.

Instead I went to Adobe site and downloaded the latest Flash Player

root@bt:~# tar xvfz flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_linux_111710.tar.gz
root@bt:~# chown root:root libflashplayer.so
root@bt:~# chmod 644 libflashplayer.so
root@bt:~# cp -f libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
root@bt:~# rm -rf libflashplayer.so
root@bt:~# ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/

All OK

Now for Flash Player:

root@bt:~# tar xvfz install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz
root@bt:~# mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins
root@bt:~# mv -f libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/
root@bt:~# ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/
root@bt:~# ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/

There is no such directory as /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins

Instead the directory struture is /usr/lib/firefox/plugins

So I changed it to this

Restarted Mozilla, still not working?

To see first in Backtrack (which I don't run) to see if

There is no such directory as /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins

Instead the directory struture is /usr/lib/firefox/plugins

File structures are different from Distro to Distro on how folders are placed and plugins are placed for flash and java. Example: This is where my plugins are for AntiX.

Code:

harry@biker:/usr/lib$ cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
harry@biker:/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins$ ls
flash-mozilla.so  libjavaplugin.so  xineplugin.so
gxineplugin.so    libvlcplugin.so
harry@biker:/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins$

The locate command is also useful when looking for folders also

Code:

harry@biker:/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins$ locate /usr/lib/firefox
/usr/lib/firefox
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin.so

as you can see. In AntiX I have no /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/ folder also. So my best guess is No Script which seems to be incorporated into Firefox on Back Track is what is keeping flash from working.

Testing the link in the wiki

You have version 11,1,102,55 installed

Is what Adobe tells me my version of Flash and is working.

**hongman** · 03-29-2012

I'm confused!

I have already uninstalled NoScript so i dont think its that.

I usually go to the source when I get confused.

Someone had a link to v10, which worked like a charm

and what you did exactly to fix your issue. It will help others . Then mark thread as solved (thread tools on top of first post) so it shows on the net.

Glad you got it going.

Sure thing.
