Dear Debianists
I have just got flashplayer9 working on Iceweasel in amd64 etch.....
I did the following stuff recommended by some helpful guys at
http://www.dipconsultants.com:
First things first, as root:
* Add repository to sources.list:
o echo "deb http://www.dipconsultants.com/debian etch main" >>
/etc/apt/sources.list
* apt-get update
* Install the keyring so you're not bothered with key/verification
warnings:
o apt-get install markybob-keyring
* apt-get update once more
* Install what you want:
o apt-get install ia32-libs-gtk nspluginwrapper
If you're looking to install Flash in a 64-bit browser:
* Do *every* step listed above, then the following as a *user*, not root:
* wget
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
* tar -zxf install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
It worked fine up to here....
* mv install_flash_player_9_linux/flashplayer.xpt
install_flash_player_9_linux/libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/
Instead of this I did mv install_flash_player_9_linux/flashplayer.xpt
install_flash_player_9_linux/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
NOT as a user as root
* nspluginwrapper -i ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
I didn't do the above one either;
I did nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
NOT as a user as root
* Start/restart iceweasel/firefox/whatever
* Enjoy, Etch 64-bit users, from the guys at dipconsultants.com :)
Everything else was the same.
Now flashplayer 9 works on my 64 bit Iceweasel browser.
Thanks

I tried flashplayer-mozilla or whatever it is. It doesn't work as far as I
can see unless you are running Sid or Lenny or something because you can't
install the latest nspluginwrapper in etch without dependency problems that
I think would be dodgy because you would be veering out of etch into
something chaotic.
Or something like that.
But this worked.
