adobe and flash sucks!
Thank you. Worked flawless for me…
Don’t you need Pipelight these days? 11.2 is the last flash plugin that Adobe provides for Linux. Sites often complain and simply won’t run. Don’t you still get (Windows-related) flash install messages? Nonetheless, installing 11.2 anyway remains pretty much essential, also.
Pipelight works as a wrapper for Windows media plugins. The idea is that users invoke the most current Windows plugins–not ancient or non-existent Linux plugins. Of course pipelight isn’t directly supported by Linux distros–it’s based upon binaries–sans source code. One uses 3rd party repositories. Pipelight also attempts to manage MS Silverlight and Google’s Widevine, among other plugins.
Pipelight won’t solve every Linux plugin problem these days, Ill-conceived DRM and paranoid content providers continue forcefully to shepherd users into Windows, nonetheless. Amazon Prime and Netflix may prove problematic. Pipelight’s flash plugin setup generally works pretty well, though–so far….
“adobe and flash sucks!” I agree, cuz It is what the cave men used back in the day. Hope it dies out as soon as posable.

_________________________________
Why ??????? I still can’t find out the problem…
Allo lo! I have been having MAJOR problems trying to get flash working on my system, too. However, I suspect that your problem may be that you do not have the correct source in your /etc/apt/sources.list file?
or is only available from another source
It is hard to give you specific instructions but I recommend that you google your problem including OSver. + browser ver. e.g.:for myself: “Debian 7 wheezy Iceweasel 17.0.7 esr” how to add correct repository for flashplugin-nonfree? …mind you, I did so & downloaded it & installed it ok…but it still does not work….(YET!) Your mileage may vary…(I hope so! GBU!)
In your file /etc/apt/sources.list you need to enable a “contrib” repository:
write a line like
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian main contrib non-free
and run apt-get update. (This package doesn’t need non-free but you might as well include it; it may be useful later.) After that, the procedure given will work.
RS, thanks for the info, but after adding the ‘contrib’ repository as above I still get:
apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

If you have any ideas, I’d appreciate them. Off I go to learn more about apt-get sources!
Correction: The word “stable” or “wheezy” should appear just before “main”.
Then run “apt-get update” as root, while connected to the Internet. After this you can install packages with “apt-get install”.
Sorry for the error. Was that the problem?
lo,
you need to add non-free to your apt sources.
edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add after main “contrib non-free”
my apt.sources list look like this
deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
# wheezy-updates, previously known as ‘volatile’
deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free
Dear lo,
Followup: Yea! I downloaded the latest “esr” – Extended Support Release – version of Iceweasel; for which I had to first enable a “backport” repository source. Then I used apt-get to download & install – (“apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree”) – [making sure I had the “nonfree” repository source was also enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list] – the Adobe FlashPlayer plugin.
F-I-N-A-L-L-Y I realised why it did not work: I restarted my new browser & Halleluyah! it works!
lo – I hope that this helps! ‘b’ye – Bruce.
RS, thanks for the prompt reply!
I added ‘wheezy’ to the contrib line as above, but I still get :
“Package flashplugin-onfree is not availabe, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package ‘flashplugin-nonfree’ has no installation candidate”
Now it occurs to me, I didn’t mention I’m using PowerPC architecture. Is that going to make a difference?
And how do I track down a good source for installation?
I also get errors after apt-get update such as
“W: Failed to fetch http://mozilla.debian.net/dists/wheezy-backports/iceweasel-release/binary-powerpc/Packages 404 Not Found” , does that mean my architecture isn’t supported for backports?
Many thanks.
Yes, maybe this package is not available for Debian on powerpc. I understand that many packages are only available for i386 and amd64.
You can visit the site http://ftp.debian.org with your browser using either ftp or http. Or search for packages you want in synaptic.
I don’t understand the last problem. Maybe there are no backports for powerpc. You can try visiting the site.
It works, thanks ! And the correct contrib line is indeed ;
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
You can use ftp or http. The package is available only for i386 and amd64.
Debian users with older AMD cpus will be interested to know that from Adobe Flashplayer v11, SSE2 cpus will be required or it will not work.
Great post :-) This info is a very good addition to the info on the wiki of the Debian Project. https://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer But I recommend reading the Debian Project wiki if you run into any other problems not mentioned here. For example if you are connected to the internet via a proxy. It also mentions the problem of some old CPUs not having SSE2.
Here works fine after fix the address on /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
This How-To must be updated with this correction… But thanks for this howto, and thanks to “Name” to appoint the mistake…
Great tutorial, helped me get the rdio app working on my x202e. It was odd because youtube would work but when I tried to get rdio to start playing it wouldn’t work. Regardless this fixed it
Thanks!
Hi I have this problem the system didnt let me edit /etc/apt/sources.list
I tried with gedit and going directly to the text editos but didnt let me save it and I am already login in as a root
I dont know what to do
sorry i google my problem and I solve it aesily you have to put sudo bash to let you gedit thank you for make this post was really helpfull for me XD
epiphany-browser does not automatically use flasplugin-nonfree on wheezy 32-bit
Thanks brother! nice post.
That’s it. I am giving up on Linux. Even after 2 weeks, nothing but headaches and frustrations. Between trying to install something as simple as Flash, to Linux not supporting certain wireless network adapters. Eff this, I am going back to Windblows.
@jb: if the comparison is about who has better proprietary tools, linux isn’t going to win, as it’s an impossible fight.
I just installed: http://kevinmehall.net/p/pithos/
Thanks for this manual, I successfully install Adobe Flash Player in Debian 7 Wheezy :)
Muito boa dica perfeito.
i don’t know why in thesam hell debian doesn’t have adobe flashplayer pre installed for you or have software sources tool seriously not one of these comments is giving a striaght answer!?!?
Debian has a policy of including software only if the source is available. Adobe doesn’t reveal the source for Flash Player. So Debian has a package called flashplugin-nonfree which downloads and installs the Adobe Flash Player if it is available for your architecture.
Thank you!
thanks a lot!
Thank you :D

linux is not for everyone but you find too been free fast and of education give it a change let I purchase a asus after have win8 and win 7 and even big U linux it does every thing in memory dont have video card of all os debian is only os for this computer its not small or old 325 gb drive 4 gb ram but intel is no good in side
in short after more 5years with linux love them big and small but the debian stop from having replace my gift my wife purchase for me

Flash isn’t prenstalled because the source code isn’t freely available–it’s a “binary. Technically, the open source community and its policies prove still set against proprietary” code–alway, the community prefers the true and most current source code.
On the other hand, Adobe, AMD, and other companies often wish to keep their code secret. After all, a great deal of money and effort went into that. (This is why Microsoft and Apple code proves so tight, as well.) Adobe certainly doesn’t want Apple (Quicktime) to know it’s code secrets–AMD certainly doesn’t desire for nVidia to obtain such knowledge, either (definitely, vice-versa).
Pretty much, it’s common knowledge that linux versions for Adobe’s flash and the HDMI codec (found in AMD’s linux binary catalyst version, “fglrx”) for supported AMD Radeon chipsets must come from the contrib/nonfree repository. The distro creators reluctantly assented to provide such repositories. nVidia and Realtek also have linux versions of some of their binaries in nonfree, too.
It seems still to prove almost a ritual–a “right of passage”: After installing a new distro or reformating and reinstalling for file corruption in a distro, one must enable the nonfree repository in order to obtain such functions. It’s just something one must do, still.
I’ve been using ethernet for a long time–I do remember painful past compatibility problems concerning wireless adapters, though. I thought that “wrappers” (“get arounds”) later helped the situation–problems apparently exist–still.
As for flash, reader, and shockwave, Adobe developed them and owns the rights–thus, certainly, they have the right to kill support and even to charge for use. It’s proprietary–the community really can do nothing much to force a change in policies–they must rely upon support from such companies to help create open-source versions of their code (or for binary support) in the first place. Drivers and binaries in Linux (and for Apple) long have remained thorny issues for users.
The open source community has raised all boats, though. Thus, such large companies still work with the community–it proves in their mutual best interests. A great deal of Amazon’s Kindle and Google’s Android code proves intrircately related to open source software.
Currently, the now-outdated 11.2 version of flash proves problematic in Iceweasel, Firefox, and Chromium (among other open source browsers)–Adobe killed support for upgrading binaries to versions after 11.2–the architecture is considered by Google and Adobe as outdated and prone to attack and problems: That’s valid reasoning to invoke some changes. Google and Adobe do offer a later version–“pepper”–it’s in the linux Chrome binary and also works (reportedly) as a plugin in Chromium. I’m uncertain concerning using the plugin with Iceweasel and Firefox though (the situation proves likely true of “Konqueror” and “Epiphany,” too.) That’s why I visit here, now.
apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

update-flashplugin-nonfree –install
If you’re installing Flash Player for the first time the second step is not needed. Its purpose is to check for upgrades and install if needed.
Thank you!

I think that the 64-bit Debian version for flash generally works again (the very sick Xfinity still proves a holdout)–32-bit flash-plugin-nonfree proves again problematic. Google/Chromium/Chrome apparently also has killed 32-bit support, also–they simply won’t load: Nonetheless, they prove still available for 32-bit install, I believe. One still may get to gmail and Google search via Firefox. Youtube and flash proves OK again with 64-bit, at this point.
Thanks ! :D
I did this step by step solution, and it works !!! thank you !

I was installing flash for the first time, and has been taking me about an hour to get this solved.. only at the way bottom of the comments did I see someone suggest

did this actually fix my problem with Chromium and Pandora. Have tried many things but only that fixed it. May want to consider adding this to the initial post as your web rankings are pretty high (one of the first sites I found when trying to determine the problem).
Thanks you for tutorial
