Hello all, I have this same problem and that is because this location has changed wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz and so unable to install flash.
The work around to this problem is to get this package install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz and install it via terminal.I have attached this tar package. The following are the steps: 1.open a terminal as root and type locate firefox-3.0.7 |grep plugins <return> This will list two enteries /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.7/plugins /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.7/searchplugins --->remember this path EXACTLY /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.7 Here the firefox version is 3.0.7 and so this line firefox-3.0.7 if it is firefox-3.x.x do accordingly after using the locate command. if you have any doubt regarding the version of firefox,check the version from firefox menu in Help->About Mozilla Firefox and confirm the version. 2.Extract the install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz tar package and change(cd) to it from a terminal. r...@solutions-desktop:~/Desktop/install_flash_player_9_linux# ls flashplayer-installer libflashplayer.so r...@solutions-desktop:~/Desktop/install_flash_player_9_linux# 3.Run the install from the terminal r...@solutions-desktop:~/Desktop/install_flash_player_9_linux# ./flashplayer-installer Copyright(C) 2002-2006 Adobe Macromedia Software LLC.
