Flash installer for Linux .tar.gz

Hi,
I've downloaded the file install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz from the flash download page. The instructions say:
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).
However the .tar.gz file only contains a file called libflashplayer.so, no flashplayer-installer script to run. Have I gotten the right file?
Thanks in advance,

Restarted Firefox?
Flash-plugin enabled?
Other websites with flash working?
What do you see on youtube?
- black YouTube screen? or
- no screen at al?
I also have flash not working at all, my guess is flash-plugin
compiled and linked with libraries older than mine.

Flash 9 for Linux

I installed the Flash 9 for Linux, and it works!
I'm using Firefox. The first time I fire up Firefox, it's at
Flash version 9 and works perfectly. But when I close Firefox, the
next time it drops back to Flash 7. Does anyone know a fix?
Normally I use Flash under WinTel, but I wanted to experiment a
little. It works great, except I have to install it again after I
close the Firefox browser, because the browser always reverts back
to version 7.
Thanks.

Okay, I found an answer to my own question. ;-) Download the
Adobe Flash plugin. gunzip/tar it. Instead of running the
installer, just copy flashplayer.xpt to path of
/opt/firefox/components/ and copy libflashplayer.so to
/opt/firefox/plugins/. Change /opt/ to wherever Firefox is. Perhaps
the error happened due to permissions, or something like that, but
there was no error message; rather it worked the first time, until
you closed and restarted your web browser.

Security updates for 11.2 Flash Player for Linux?

When attempting to download an update for 11.2 Flash Player for Linux, I saw the note saying that there would be no new development, but security backfixes would continue to be released. I've seen the security warnings for months on my Linux install in Firefox (which is updated) but there does not seem to be a security patch that would stop these "Allow - Continue Blocking" warnings for Flash Player.
When can we expect these to be completed? Linux users may not comprise a large portion of your user base, but the alternatives are extremely expensive hardware and/or software if you want to use an Apple or Microsoft product.

I chose "Yum for Linux" and the file that was downloaded was:
adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
I see now that if I select the "rpm for Other Linux" it downloads the flash-player rpm complete with the version info, so perhaps the Yum version is a wrapper. I assumed that since Fedora (and Redhat/etc) uses yum, that I should download the YUM version... in order for it to take effect, I had to perform the following commands after downloading the above rpm:
sudo yum remove adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch
sudo yum localinstall adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
sudo yum -y install flash-plugin
That allowed me to get the newer version of Flash player to show (and no longer receive the security warnings) but it seems if I had used the Other for Linux download that I wouldn't have had to take those extra steps. I guess we'll find out when the next security update to flash player is released.
Thanks,

Flash for linux .tar.gz package is still the old 346 version

i trid to upgrade my flash, so i download the .tar.gz package from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ , after the file was installed, i loaded a flash video in firefox, and found the version is 11.2.202.346. i also downloaded the rpm package, the version is 356.
i think the .tar.gz package should also be updated and i suggest that the version should be containded in the file name so that it is easy to distinguish.

11.2.202.346 was and is the last version to be developed for Linux. There won't be any more.

Latest flashplayer package for Linux tar.gz appears to be defective.

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:
"Installation instructions for tar.gz
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 > 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.

11.2.202.346 was and is the last version to be developed for Linux. There won't be any more.

Why can't I find Adobe Flash Player for Linux/Firefox 4

I can't figure out how to get Adobe Flash or Shockwave player for Firefox 4. Running Ubuntu 10.04 and when I try to find them in add-ins for FF4 there seems to be nothing. I am not the world's most experienced Linux guy but since Flash and Shockwave are so common it seems curious that they don't have them as add-ins for FF4. Maybe I'm just so far off track on this one it may be the dumbest question anyone has ever asked. But what the heck, you never know the answer if you don't ask the question.
Thanks!

There is no flash player for the iphone and Adobe would be the one to develop one, not Apple. And there are no plugins to install instead, as far as I know.

Is there a text-based FMS 3 installer for Linux?

Just downloaded FMS 3 for Linux. Per
(flashmediaserver_install.pdf) installer document, it implies that
you must run some kind of X Window (Gnome or KDE) to in order to
install the product. Is that true? If that is true, is there an
alternative, such as a text-based installer? Thanks.

No, there's isn't. You should install IIS 7 first, and then install 32-bit version OBIEE.

Not complaining, just asking - date for flash 8 for Linux?

Hi,
Just wondering if there's a release date/month/year for flash
player 8 for Linux. I'm sure it is incredibly hard to port, blah
blah blah, but in all the software companies I've worked in, I've
had to work to deadlines, and give reasonable estimates. If you
have any vitriolic redneck abuse to add, please do it somewhere
else, I don't want to be associated with you. Thanks :-)
Love, light and peace,
Crispibits.

> Why is this version not ready and available?
Because it is non-trivial to port the player code.
> 64-bit processors have been out for quite a while, now!
Yes .. and that is why the port is being done .. but it will
be part of 8.5
(now to be known as Flash Player 9) .. if they ported FP8
then by the time
it was ready.
> The Adobe corporate culture isn't crippling MacroMedia
products, is it?
It has noting to do with Adobe.. this all happened well
before Adobe took
over.
> This is poor marketing and deficient customer service.
I don't see what it has to do with marketing. Is purely
technical. And I
don't see that it is poor customer service either. Indeed,
MM/Adobe are
being quite sensible and responsible about this by making the
port part of
the new FP9 instead of delaying things for all concerned to
get out a FP8
port that would then be immediately out of date.
> Well . . . RealMedia has filled the gap for you!
RealMedia is no where near what Flash does .. its very
simplistic .. and I
wouldn't trust Real as far as I could throw them (which isn't
very far).

Oracle Universal Installer for Linux

I did a download of Oracle 8i for linux from my.oracle.com site but I could not find OUI (Oracle Universal Installer). How can I get OUI for linux? Is there OUI on this site?

Hi Anurag,
The problem is that OUI is not downloadable .
runInstaller file makes a call to .oui file, which is present in the install folder. Can you tell me the flow process or the algorithm used in this file?
Can this file be customized depending on certain requirements?
