new flash

[michaa7]

There is out v.406 . And as Adobe for Linux only provides security updates ....

If you can't wait until available in Debian and you want to install it manually, you need to change ownership to root:root after you untared and before you copy the files and folders.

# 32 bit
tar -xf install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz
chown (-R) root:root libflashplayer.so
chown -R root:root usr     # no "/" in front od usr
chown (-R) root:root readme.txt    # you won't copy it, so I mention it just for completeness
cp -r usr/* /usr
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/

# 64 bit
tar -xf install_flash_player_11_linux.x86_64.tar.gz
chown (-R) root:root libflashplayer.so
chown -R root:root usr     # no "/" in front of usr
chown (-R) root:root readme.txt    # you won't copy it, so I mention it just for completeness
cp -r usr/* /usr
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/

Thanks for doing the ugly work and for staying on their dirty trail.

micaa7, thanks for the update. I personally put the libflashplayer.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins because I don't like dumping files not belonging to .deb packages in /usr/lib

Pepper Flash 15.0.0.152 update is also available for chromium users:

Just an FYI, you can get the new flash now with "update-flashplugin-nonfree -iv".  Debian package has been updated.

Thanks for the reminder.
