Hi folks,
Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.12
I need to install Adobe Flash Player which can be download on Adobe Website. I don't think this proprietary package will be available on repo.
$ apt-cache search 'adobe flash player'
No printout
$ apt-cache search 'flash player'
Code:
libflash-swfplayer - GPL Flash (SWF) Library - stand-alone player
liborange-dev - development libraries for liborange
liborange0 - library to extracts CAB files from self-extracting installers
orange - extracts CAB files from self-extracting installers
$ apt-cache search player | grep flash
Code:
libflash-swfplayer - GPL Flash (SWF) Library - stand-alone player
mathwar - A flash card game designed to teach maths
$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

Package flashplugin-nonfree is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package flashplugin-nonfree has no installation candidate
$ apt-cache search gnash
Code:
gnash - free Flash movie player
gnash-tools - free Flash movie player - Command-line Tools
klash - free Flash movie player
konqueror-plugin-gnash - free Flash movie player - Plugin for Konqueror
libgnash0 - free Flash movie player - shared libraries
mozilla-plugin-gnash - free Flash movie player - Plugin for Mozilla and derivatives
I read positive and negative opinion on Gnash. Not easy for me to decide.
However the tarball available on Adobe website is "install_flash_player_9_linus.tar.gz". I'm running 64 bit Firefox. Is there a solution avoiding installing an additional 32bit Firefox? TIA
B.R.
