Flash Install Help Please

I'm having an exceedingly infuriating time trying to install flash on my mac I'm using safari 7.1.....i needed to update my flash player for one of my movie sites so i goto n adobe and I followed the instructions, went through user name and password etc. When the download box appears it flashes retrieving download briefly then just goes blank and does nothing else... I followed every troubleshooting suggestion checked the preferences made sure its allowed etc. Then it suggests a clean install... ok, thats not a bad idea doing that has been a definite help before....... well...... now I have no flash player at all and it still won't complete or start the download, whichever the case may be since i am not entirely sure...... I need some help or any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated since now I'm quite sol...

This seems to be a major problem. I've been trying for 8 hours to find a fix to the problem. I'm running windows 7 home, 64 bit, uninstalled any prior versions of flash, and every time i try to get flash, I can get the download, but when I select run, it loses connection. I even did a system restore to see if something that had recently updated was causing the problem.
HELP!

Flash install help :(

Hi, Im having some trouble installing flash and nsplugin. Here is what I did so far.
pacman -Sy --asdeps gtk2 lib32-atk lib32-cairo lib32-expat lib32-fontconfig lib32-freetype2 lib32-gcc-libs \
lib32-glib2 lib32-glibc lib32-gtk2 lib32-libice lib32-libpng lib32-libsm lib32-libx11 lib32-libxau \

lib32-libxmu lib32-libxrandr lib32-libxrender lib32-libxt lib32-pango lib32-pcre lib32-zlib libxt \
util-linux-ng lib32-alsa-lib lib32-libxdamage lib32-libstdc++5 rpmextract
I also downloaded both of these tarballz
nspluginwrapper
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=6217&O=0&L=0&C=0&K=nspluginwrapper&SB=n&SO=a&PP=25&do_MyPackages=0&do_Orphans=0&SeB=nd

I have the tarballz on my desktop, but now what? when I enter makepkg --asroot It tells me there is no Package. How and where do I extract the tars? and after that what do I do? the arch beginners guide is what im reading, but it's doesnt give enough information on what to do in this area. I just want flash to work lol.
Here is a SS:

There's still something wrong here. You shouldn't have a folder called nspluginwrapper-1.0.0 unless you've extracted the official binary.
Go to:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6217
and on the far left hand side in the middle of the page select the link "tarball". Download and extract that to build. Then if you want Flash 9, do the same for here:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6232
or Flash 10 Beta:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18302

Adobe flash install help

i am attempting to install a new version of adobe flash player. During install I get the message to close "com.apple.webkit.plugin.65" I don't know how to close this or even where to find it...installation stalls at that point.

Hi edmundog98042911,
Currently Flash Player requires all applications that may be using it to be closed before installation begins. If it can't identify the exact name of the app, it'll show the process name, which is what you're seeing. You can try to use the Activity Monitor (viewing all processes from all users) to identify the process and if so, kill it via the Activity Monitor.
We are changing this behaviour in an upcoming release of Flash Player, where the installation process will not require the closing of apps that are using it and instead leave it up to the user to close the app at a convenient time and relaunch to load the newly installed Player. This functionality is currently available in the latest beta version posted at Download Adobe Flash Player 18 Beta for Desktops - Adobe Labs. If you decide to install the beta do keep in mind that performance/functionality may be unstable. To revert to the release version, simply uninstall the beta (uninstaller is also posted on the same page) and then go to get.adobe.com/flashplayer to download the release version.

Linux mint 14 wont install update or do anything with fire fox

when ever I try to istall fire fox, msg file unavailable or nothing happens at all, software manager tried synaptic tried, uninstalled fire fox because I tried to up date but said files not available so removed to try reinstall still files unavailable also not trusted message which I choose ignore

This is a really interesting subject!
I have a couple of questions:
1. Isn't it possible to use xchg to swap the functions?
Something like:
ref_sys_open = (void *) xchg(sys_call_table[__NR_open], new_sys_open); <---- switch to custom function
xchg(sys_call_table[__NR_open], ref_sys_open); <----- siwtch back to original function
2. I'm getting "BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request" and functions aren't switched back to original ones. That's probably from the functions that try to set RW/RO, but I'm not sure why it's happening. (I'm on x64). Have you had the same problem?

Firefox running under Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) 12 (KDE) won't install extensions for Firefox

Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) 12, KDE desktop
Firefox 10.0
Started up Firefox right after Mint was installed. On the add-ons page video download helper was shown as a featured extension and I installed it, then rebooted when prompted. After that, Firefox would never install another extension again. Just gives download error.
I google searched and in a forum I found a post about uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. I tried it. First time I started it up, it installed video download helper again, but then would not install any other extension after that. I tried numerous extensions I '''KNOW''' are working in Firefox 10.0 because they are working in Firefox over on my Win 7. Everytime I get a download error, either from the addons site or from the Add-ons Manager in Firefox.
Someone told me on the Mint forums that I needed to add a subdirectory on a certain directory, so I did that. Didn't work.
It seems Ubuntu disables the root, or cripples it, and I guess Mint does too. You can still use sudo when doing things in Ubuntu (and Mint I would assume, since it's based on Ubuntu) but you can't get true 'superuser' access as I understand it. But, I don't think this would have any bearing on the problem, or my search of the Mint forums would have come up with all kinds of threads screaming about this.

Problem solved - it was caused by an add-on called "PDF Download 3.0.0.2)
To fix - in Firefox :
Click on '''Tools''' command (top of screen)
Select '''Extensions'''
click on "'''disable''' button beside '''PDF Download'''
Close Firefox and restart it.
Clicking on any pdf file should open a new tab now and the document will appear there.

It doesn't work that way-you need to contact Linux Mint support and ask them for help. If you want help the laptop has to be the O/S it came with to get help. And if you install a Linux verison you should get support from the Distro you got it from not HP.

How do I install Linux Mint 17 from USB on Flex 10?

Hello everybody,
I want to install Linux Mint 17 on my Lenovo Flex 10 device.
I tried to make two different bootable installation USB sticks using the Rufus software but when I try to boot from them, the boot menu show only Windows. It seems that Flex 10 doesn't like my USB sticks. One is former Mandriva USB, the other is ADATA S102/8GB USB 3.0. Should I try another USB stick?
I've read several threads relating to this; someone suceeded, more people didn't get any answer.
One suspicious thing is that Rufus says that I need an EFI ISO image when I choose the UEFI MBR or UEFI GPT partition scheme. Isn't the Mint ISO an EFI ISO image? So the only option that remains is "BIOS or UEFI" scheme. I think that should work but it doesn't. They say that Mint 16 already supports UEFI. So Mint 17 should too.
Other thing is that there might be an issue with 32/64bit UEFI. How do I switch between 32 and 64 bit UEFI?
Am I missing something? What am I doing wrong?
--CIgydd Bach
Solved!
Go to Solution.

So I'm going to answer my question myself. * Edit: An ironic note to Lenovo removed. They don't deserve it. *
For everybody who wants to boot or install Linux to Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 10:
Flex 10 has a 64-bit processor but a 32-bit EFI (UEFI) firmware!
Therefore I guess most of us have 32-bit Windows pre-installed for it.
Because Microsoft is so poor that they cannot provide us with a 64-bit system with a 32-bit bootloader. Oops, they cannot provide Lenovo with that combination.
And Lenovo, you guys prepared me a hell solving the riddle why only my Flex 10 doen't boot Linux, neither 32-bit distros nor the 64-bit ones.
* Edit: Not removing this one. Yes, you prepared me a hell but it was also a big fun solving the riddle. *
Because the 32-bit distros don't count with UEFI at all (they suppose older firmware, so called BIOS) and the 64-bit ones don't count with a 32-bit UEFI.
So I had to download a bootloader one guy precompiled for others to boot the USB with the installation ISO image for Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit. Here is the bootloader file:
https://github.com/jfwells/linux-asus-t100ta/blob/master/boot/bootia32.efi
The next post was very helpful to me. There I discovered that I have to download or compile a 32-bit UEFI bootloader:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion/Flex-10-the-installation-of-Linux/td-p/1516596/page/2
And here I finally followed the instructions how to boot to the USB stick and it helped me a lot in the overall process and progress:
http://www.jfwhome.com/2014/03/07/perfect-ubuntu-or-other-linux-on-the-asus-transformer-book-t100/
There you will see that you have to follow these steps:
Shrink your C drive in Windows and create a new partition to be deleted and re-used by Linux (Windows doesn't like surprises).
Turn off the Windows Fast Boot option (or Windows could damage your Linux partitions).
Compile or download (see above) a bootloader for the USB stick.
Boot the stick, make sure the live image runs.
Run the installation from the live system and install your Linux to the space you created previously (by deleting the new partition and creating root, home and swap partitions there).
Boot to the newly installed system using the USB stick (you still aren!t able to boot to Linux from disk).
You can skip the step of compiling WiFi drivers. On Flex 10, they work perfectly out of the box.
Following the instructions on the last linked page, compile Grub for 32-bit EFI and install it onto your disk. Here I suggest a slight change against the instructions. Don't name the compiled Grub "grubx64.efi" but leave the name "grubia32.efi". I don't know why but after leaving this name, my Flex started to boot Ubuntu from disk.
Edit: You don't have to compile Grub. In your newly installed system, issue the three following commands (this will install the Grub version for 32-bit UEFI, remove the 64-bit UEFI version, and clean up possible mess caused by removing it):
sudo apt-get install grub-efi-ia32
sudo apt-get remove grub-efi-amd64
sudo grub-install
Don't forget to change Grub settings in /etc/default/grub. Also do not forget to run the command "sudo upgrade-grub".
You can skip the step with compiling new kernel with Flex. Hardware support seems already pretty good (except of touchpad).
The touchpad interprets a single tap with a finger as a right click. You can disable tapping and get used to the buttons as a temporary solution. It doesn't swap the buttons if you set so. If you are left-handed as me, you can force the swap of the buttons by issuing xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1" from a terminal or from a script that you can run automatically on startup.
I followed exactly the same steps with Linux Mint with a full success.
On the start, I thought that Linux installation on Flex 10 was impossible.
As you can see, it is possible. And if you want, you will succeed and reach that goal.

Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser? It is already installed, I just don't use it. I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it? If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

How to install check speller for Serbian language in Linux Mint

Hello, I use Thunderbird 31.6.0 on my Linux Mint 17. I tried to follow the instructions that are on this web site for installing new dictionaries spell checkers but it does not work. It says that it's not available for my platform. However on my Windows computer it says that this version is not supported. In comments of that plug in someone explained workaround. You should download the add-on, rename extension to .zip, unpack it and copy the unpacked files to C:/Program Files/Mozilla Thunderbird/dictionaries. I did this and it worked!
Is there any way to do similar trick with Thunderbird for Linux Mint?

Why don't you try the same workaround as for the Windows version?
Locate the Thunderbird installation directory and extract the .xpi in the 'dictionaries' sub-directory.

How can I get firefox-9.0b6.tar.bz2 to install in Linux Mint 10 Julia?

When I try to open/load the downloaded new version: firefox-9.0b6.tar.bz2 with the default Archive Manager in Linux Mint 10 Julia I get this error message:
"bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly; perhaps it is corrupted? *Possible* reason follows. bzip2: Inappropriate ioctl for device Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout) It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted. You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files. You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover data from undamaged sections of corrupted files. tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now"
Perhaps it is also of note that I am running Linux from a thumbdrive through the USB port on my Asus EeePC.
=== What do I do so I can get firefox to work? This began because I can't get Adobe flash and gmail to work properly and realize (at least for gmail) I need to upgrade.

Can you open any other Firefox tar.bz2 archives?

Adobe does not support Digital Editions on Linux any more, see this page for the list of platforms that they do support : Tech specs | Adobe Digital Editions Home
Over at WineHQ they seem to have versions of Adobe Digital Editions that you might be able to get to run on Linux Mint (I have not tried this myself though) : WineHQ - Adobe Digital Editions
