Acer Aspire One Linpus Lite - Flash Player.

The terminal window just disappeared after pressing enter…

Try again …

Hit Alt+F2 … in the input field type terminal and click the Run button… a terminal will open… When the terminal opens, enter the following command:

ls -a ~/.mozilla/plugins

hit the enter key … what is now displayed in the terminal ?

Ive got this:
[user@localhost ~]$ ls -a ~/.mozilla/plugins
ls: cannot access /home/user/.mozilla/plugins: No such file or directory

OK, if the terminal is still open, run these 5 commands (if not open one then run them):
(wait for each command to finish and leave you back at an $ prompt before running the next command)

Create a ~/.mozilla/plugins directory

mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins

(this command may fail if the directory already exists… this is normal… just move on to the next command)

Change directory to ~/.mozilla/plugins :

cd ~/.mozilla/plugins

Use wget to download the flashplayer archive:

wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11876059/flashplayer11-32bit.tar.gz

Extract the libflashplayer.so file from the flashplayer achive:

tar -zxvf flashplayer11-32bit.tar.gz

Move the flashplayer archive back to your home folder to make it easier to delete if you wish:

mv -v flashplayer11-32bit.tar.gz ~/flashplayer11-32bit.tar.gz

You can now close the terminal.

Now close ALL running instances of Firefox, then reopen it… then go to this website:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
where you can check which version of flashplayer you are currently using.

If that link says you are using a version older than 11.0.1.152… see below.


You may have to (in Firefox) go to Tools>Add-Ons>Plugins and make sure the onlyShockwave Flash” plugin that is enabled is the 11.0r1 one… and restart Firefox.


Once done, you can delete the flashplayer11-32bit.tar.gz file from your home directory, if you wish.
