Semme good that you keep us informed on the dev of Flash.

My HP/Compaq Desktop has 64 bit
but the cool thing is that I did download
the 32 bit latest and that worked too.

so now I tested the 64 bit version and that worked too

Updated.
Thanks for the heads up.
check your version here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/ ... layer.html

I presently have version 10.3.183.23 installed [and functioning well] on "Precise-5.6.1" [Linux 3.2.44 (32-bit)], browser = Nightly 16.0.1 [Mozilla Firefox].

I downloaded file "install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz".
What should I do now?

I untarred the download and put 'libflashplayer.so' to usr/lib/mozilla/plugins (removed the old one first).

Copied this method...
Latest version [11.2.202.327] now installed and functioning well.
Thank you.

Linux 2.6.33.2 (32-bit) My old Lupu 528-005 has this kernel obviously.
So maybe I should try later versions then. And I use the 32 bit
so I should not use the 64 bit download. But it works well so maybe no need
to change?

Our computer press tells us it is an important update
because the security risk they've found was serious.

I've forgotten how to find the right dir
to put it in but maybe pfind find it?

Backup your existing libflashplayer.so, then extract the new one, overwriting the old.

I have never updated flashplayer on my own ... I always need a reminder.
Thank you, Semme.

nooby,
Updating is simple, but I may have missed a step in my previous post.
1) Create a directory and unpack the downloaded 'install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz' into it.
2) Copy 'libflashplayer.so' to usr/lib/mozilla/plugins (remove the old one first).
this step, I think, isn't essential, but let's follow Adobe's instructions to the letter
3) Copy 'flash-player-properties' to usr/bin/ (remove the old one first).

.

I trust this the wrong thread asking for help.

AFAIK I had latest updated secure version it still told me
it was too old

Care to expand on your comment Noob's?

Thanks Semme I do the test tomorrow again too tired now

1 hour past midnight an Youtube fail to accept my Adobe now
so I need to get an even later version???

I used GetFlash Install Flashplayer

menus > internet > GetFlash Install Flashplayer

I installed Flashplayer 11.2.202.341 in Lupu 3HD 5.2.8.6 and is working great in YouTube

I also recently installed gtk_youtube_viewer-3.0.2-lucid and this helped the hesitation problem I was having on YouTUbe.

Our local TV station svt Stockholm.

They allow the version I have but Youtube absolutely refuse.
Unless forgotten to click the right button Which one do you suggest?
but I test more tomorrow

Noobs, what's yer goal? What is it, you wanna do?
