tried this no luck still no working flash player this problem realy is a major pain think i will go back to windows as a browser that cannot run flash player just isnt any use to anyone i must have spent well over 200 hrs on this problem and to be quite honest no one seems to ghave a clue as how to get it towork as none of the many suggestions i have tried have worked . can someone tellme where i can get a download of opera 9.24 as i know it will work with this , it is just a compleate waste of time attempting to get it to work with any other version . just cannot spend any more time on it . if i cannot find a downloadable version of opera 9.24 i will be going back to windows at least windows works willjust have to put up with all the crashes and slow downs

on checking my opera browser it is saying i have version9.27 despite the fact it told me i was downloading 9.26 so i in fact have 9.27 build 709. does anyone know how the hell you install flash player without spending another 200or 1000 hrs trying to do this what the hell use is a browser that cannot have flash player this problem is sending me totally insane and i really mean it even a padded cell isn't good enough anymore has anyone out there actually got opera running with flash player if so please for gods sake tell me how you did it before i go certifiably insane

Unfortunately currently available version of the flash player won't work with non-Gecko based browsers like Opera version prior to 9.50 since Adobe's uses xembed which is actually compatible only with Firefox on Linux. You should try to search an older version of Flash Player 9 plugin for Linux or install an alhpa version of the upcoming Opera 9.50 from http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/.

Ok, tested this solution, it works for me:

1)Uninstall your current version of opera and delete ~/.opera folder;

2)Install Opera 9.50Beta2 from here (amd64 version available too):

http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/snapshot-1772/x86_64-linux/

3)Then download libflashplayer "latest-1" version from here:

http://miglietta.francesco.googlepages.com/libflashplayer.so

4)In a terminal run:

sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins

5)Launch Opera and test Youtube, if it still doesn:
5b) In Opera go to Tools->Preferences->Advanced->Contents and press the "Plugin Options..." button, click the "change path" button in the dialog you will be presented with and uncheck all the paths leaving only /usr/lib/opera/plugins, apply the changes, and restart Opera.

Hope this helps ;)

sorry, missed to post a link to the i386 version of Opera 9.50Beta2 too:

the 9.50 beta causes problems have tried this before . i am going to give up with this and wait until the 9.5 version is properly released and the flash player problem is fixed , its just wasting to much of my time . thanks everyone for the help seems this one is impossible untill they fix the problem
