UPDATE – Adobe have finally released Flash player 9 for Linux. Read more

If you’re still struggling on with Flash player 7 for Linux, you might like to know that Adobe have released Player 9 for Linux. It’s still in beta, but I’ve been using it for a while and haven’t had any problem. The installer’s isn’t as clean as an rpm, but give it a try!

Installation:

cd ~
wget http://www.adobe.com/go/fp9_update_b2_installer_linuxplugin
tar xvfz FP9_plugin_beta*.tar.gz
cd flash-player-plugin*
su - (or sudo -s)
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

Good luck!
