Install Flash Player debug version in Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit

Install flash player debug version on Ubuntu 64 bit

# no 64 bit version of the flash debug player is available, thus we will use the 32 bit version and use nspluginwrapper to make it work

sudo killall -9 firefox
sudo apt-get remove -y --purge flashplugin-nonfree gnash gnash-common mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla libflashsupport nspluginwrapper
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/*flash*
sudo rm -f ~/.mozilla/plugins/*flash*
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/*flash*
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/*flash*
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs nspluginwrapper libcurl3 libnss3-1d libnspr4-0d
cd ~
wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/11/flashplayer_11_plugin_debug.i386.tar.gz
tar zxvf flashplayer_11_plugin_debug.i386.tar.gz
sudo cp flashplayer_11_plugin_debug.i386/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
sudo chmod +rx /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so 
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/ 

@vmasalov thanks, ran into the same issues and used your solution

Hello

i followed your instructions but firefox doesnt recognize flash! it says missing plugin :/ help please?

thanks!

Hi, thanks for sharing!

Used your instructions to configure it on Ubuntu 14.04 64 bits. There are basically two differences:

1. ia32-libs isn't available on Ubuntu 14.04, so I added "deb http://ubuntu.c3sl.ufpr.br/ubuntu/ precise main universe" at the end of /etc/apt/sources.list, then "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs";
2. I had to install firefox:i386, which is the 32 bits version of Firefox.
