    Hello,

     

    Welcome to Adobe Forums.

     

    You can follow these steps :

     

    1) Login with "root" user on your Ubuntu 12.04

     

    2) Launch "Terminal" (Keyboard Shortcut : Ctrl +Alt +T)

     

    3) Type this command and hit Enter : sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

     

    4) Launch Firefox and check do you have Flash Player (http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/)

     

    Thanks,

    Vikram

    Hi VikramGaur,

     

    Thank you for your reply. Could you tell me what source link should I add

    to /etc/apt/sources.list file?

     

    If I follow the steps you mentioned I get "Package 'flashplugin-installer'

    has no installation candidate" and it fails.

     

    Thanks,

    Aananth C N

    I could not see the information I added behind this request in this email

    chain. For your information, I am using Ubuntu 12.04 on ARM Big Endian

    machine (Pandaboard).

     

    Thanks,

    Aananth C N

    Hi Vikram,

     

    Thanks again. The link and the tar.gz file points to an image for Intel 386

    architecture. I confirmed it using readelf -h <lib-name>. I need it for

    ARM.

     

    Then I unpacked the .apk files of android releases from your websites, I

    was able to find the libflashplayer.so for ARM LE target there. If I copy

    to the /usr/lib/.../plugins/ directory, and if I type www.youtube.com, the

    browser crashes. But the same browser works fine if I browse pages that

    dont have flash content in it.

     

    Regards,

    Aananth C N

    A few days ago I actually had Flash under Firefox and Kubuntu 12.10 working correctly, but some update or other seems to have killed it -- in two stages.   First, I wasn't able to play Flash pages on the Flash Media server -- I kept getting the "not available" error.   In my attempts to correct that I instead made things worse; now I can't view any Flash pages at all. 

     

    I've done the obvious things.  I've installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled flashplugin-installer.  I've downloaded both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of that package and tried to install the software from the downloaded packages instead of from the repositories.  I've copied libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins.  Nothing seems to help.

     

    I'm running out of ideas.

    desktop arm7 is an unsupported platform for flash player.  the desktop flash player will not work as i am told it utilizes intel instructions and the mobile version is tightly integrated with the android OS most functionality would not work under Linux Ubuntu.
