Adobe Flash Player, Version 11.2.202.632

[kuman]

Which one of the Linux packs is good for Lucid, version 5.2.8 & then how to install it after unzipping the Archive?

Hi, kuman.

You'll find the easiest way to install FlashPlayer is to use Get Flash in Menu>Internet>GetFlash. You may, however, find that GetFlash itself needs updating, to get-flash 1.5.6, from shinobar's repo:-

Due to a set of changes at Adobe's end, you'll then need to install a 'patch' for the URLs in the 'Get-Flash' package:-

And after you've run Get-Flash, and got FlashPlayer installed, I would recommend that you install Geoffrey's Flash Auto-Updater:-

You can set this for auto-start in the /root/Startup folder, and it will check for the current version of Flash every time you boot.

The above sequence will work for all Puppies.

Hope that helps.


Mike.

After installing 1.5.6.pet I'm getting an error 'can't connect to server' even though I'm connected.

If you want an always-up-to-date Flashplayer, Mike Walsh's suggestion above may be a good idea. (If it works, that is...)

But you can also just download the Flashplayer from adobe.com, which I guess you wanted to do but weren't sure which package you need. In that case, download the ".tar.gz for other Linux". You only need one single file out of that archive: libflashplayer.so. Put it into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. (This is assuming you want it for a Mozilla-based browser like Firefox or Seamonkey.)

kuman, it looks like you didn't read past the first link in Mike Walsh's post.

The same solution to your problem was posted here though also
