Error installing flashplugin, md5sum mismatch
When I tried to install the flashplugin on my Ubuntu 7.10 64 bit Desktop, I kept getting the following error:
Download done.
md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
What I ended up doing is the following:
1.
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree nspluginwrapper
(Ignore the error)2a.
sudo vim /var/lib/dpkg/info/flashplugin-nonfree.postinst
2b. Change
# verify MD5 checksum of (copied or downloaded) tarball
rm -rf install_flash_player_9_linux/

3.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-nonfree
4.
sudo nspluginwrapper -v -a -i
And finally, I have a Flash Player in Ubuntu! :)
