For a fresh Hardy 64-bit install, with updates and multiverse enabled, you should be able to grab 9.0.152.0ubuntu1~hardy1 which still pulls the binary from the download.macromedia.com location. Or, just grab the deb file from http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-updates/flashplugin-nonfree and install that way. I used synaptic to force that version. Afterwards, I had to lock it to prevent it from being updated with the backports version flashplugin- nonfree_10.0.1.218+10.0.0.525ubuntu1~hardy1+really9.0.124.0ubuntu2_amd64 which pulls from the fpdownload.macromedia.com location.

Another major component of this bug is the poor failure status. If you install from the GUI, there is no error indicating that the package did not install. This also happened when Flash went from 8 to 9, so this part of the bug is very longstanding! -- Hardy: Flash can't be installed since install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz can't be retrieved https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304969 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Randy - Obviously, a more satisfactory solution would be for Adobe to let Canonical distribute the flash player, but I suspect that probably won't happen. -- Hardy: Flash can't be installed since install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz can't be retrieved https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304969 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I messed around with this for a good while, and found this. I went to Adobe Labs and downloaded the Flash 10 tarball, and copied the .so file to my FF3.0 plugins folder http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html Untar the tar.gz file. Then sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/plugins/ Then I just restarted FF.

I'm main developer of Ubuntu-based distribution and new Baltix operating system users are very unhappy, because they can't install flashplugin :( I found adobe-flashplugin package (it has newest flashplugin, ver 10.x) in Ubuntu partners repository, but it seems this package doesn't work with Firefox 3.0.3, only with Firefox 3.0.4 I'm thinking about creating dumb flashplugin-nonfree package, which depends on adobe-flashplugin package and put both packages in Baltix distribution repository.

Adobe moved the files around on their web server. Where the Flash 9 tarball used to be there is now a Flash 10 tarball (which makes sense as it's in a directory labelled current). If we can find where the old tarball was moved to it should be a simple update of the URL; otherwise there will need to be discussion about whether Flash 10 will be in 8.04 now. ** Changed in: flashplugin-nonfree (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- Hardy: Flash can't be installed since install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz can't be retrieved https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304969 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
