Yeah, I know those are strong words, so here's the story:
In the past, the flashplayer package for tar.gz, the only version of flashplayer i know that installs in all Linux distros, has always unzipped into a directory containing two files, one of which is a script. You CD to the directory, run the script, and flashplayer installs.
Well, suddenly , there is no directory, and no script, just a single library file named flashplayer.so
The installation instructions have not changed, however:
- Click the download link to begin installation. A dialog box will appear asking you where to save the file.
- Save the .tar.gz file to your desktop and wait for the file to download completely.
- Unpackage the file. A directory called install_flash_player_10_linux will be created.
- In terminal, navigate to this directory and type ./flashplayer-installer to run the installer. Click Enter. The installer will instruct you to shut down your browser(s).
- Once the installation is complete, the plug-in will be installed in your Mozilla browser. To verify, launch Mozilla and choose Help %26gt; About Plug-ins from the browser menu.''
The directory is mentioned, and so is the script, but those things aren't in the file anymore.?So yeah, something's seriously messed up, and has been for weeks.?I'm wondering if someone can maybe tell me if there's a place on the web where I can find the previous version.
