But I wouldn't point my finger at Opera since, at least from my experience, they are one of the very few closed source companies that have a high priority on usability and variety/cross-platform. Flash support in Ubuntu is not the best even for Firefox, you know. I wish you that you'll find a solution; sometimes solutions come around the corner where you would never have expected them when you stopped trying to hard :) Sorry to hear that I couldn’t help you, neither.

I don't know how many hours i've spent trying to get flash to work in unbuntu. I really like opera for a lot of reasons but I don't like the attitude of the opera organization toward ubuntu linux users. Their attitude is "f___ you, ubuntu users." This is really stupid on their part because ubuntu users are probably more open to trying new software than any other group of users. There are a few other opera-ubuntu issues but the flash issue is the deal-breaker as far as I'm concerned. I've deleted opera from my system so I won't be tempted to waste any more time on this problem. This is another solution that doesn’t work for me.

I'm not used to tech speak, I can't even navigate in the terminal even though I've tried countless times the 'cd desktop' instruction that i'm given on launchpad. It's getting quite frustrating. Nor do I understand the instruction you give for the Debian way of doing things as the screen shots you have look nothing like the terminal screen so I have nothing to reference the information you give to what I actually see on screen. Do you have a step by step idiots guide for complete beginners to installing flash for opera in the hardy heron? It's driving me nuts as i can't make head nor tail of it.

It seams flash still is a problem in Ubuntu with Opera. I really hope it will get fixed and either gnash (the free flash implementation) will go a big step forward and work. Or the nonfree flash package can be rewritten in a way it works with updates of "upstream" (Adobe) software updates. However I assume the later will not happen due to licensing issues (flash is proprietary, you know!!). Now, to get flash to work with Opera Opera needs to find the library files no matter which flash implementation, i.e. which package you use. So it will not get better by deleting files. You either need to copy the lib files (not good since they will not be upgraded if the package is by Ubuntu). Or you link to them as described above. Unfortunatelly if that doesn't work I don't have any ideas left. Hope it helps, sysblog. Hi brett.

Apologies for replying so late. I didn't have time before to test it. The package is still called flashplugin-nonfree and as jb said it's been known as a bug. I did a test run installing that package and it worked just fine for me. Have you completely removed, i.e. purged, the packege or used reinstall option of aptitude? To doublecheck you might want to do: [sourcecode language='vb'] $ sudo aptitude purge flashplugin-nonfree $ sudo aptitude -V install flashplugin-nonfree=9.0.48.0 [/sourcecode] <code>purge</code> removes everything the package installed and <code>package=versionnumber</code> makes really, really sure to install a newer package version (9.0.48.0 is the last version that works. Note this has <a href="http://secunia.com/advisories/28161/" rel="nofollow">security issues</a>, though). And finally <code>-V</code> option even shows the version of listed packages.
