How does one install the Flash Plugin into Opera 9.64?

What seems to be your problem?

The flash plugin is common for FF and opera. In your Opera browser you can go to Help --> About Opera and look for Paths. Under Plug-in path you'll see the path to the plugins. The /usr/lib/firefox/plugins folder contains the flash plugin.

Anyway, in Opera 10 Flash 10 is working fine. If you want to keep your old version a possible fix can be found here:

Good luck.

In Opera tools>preferences>advanced>plugin options and see if plugin is listed.If not click on find new and then see if it is listed.It should be after bowser restart.

And as Cristi Nistor said you should upgrade your Opera from 9.64 to 10 .You can downloaded it from http://www.opera.com/download/?os=linux-i386&ver=10.00&local=y

I am getting this error message (from the package installer) when I attempt to install Opera 10.

Error: Breaks exisiting
package 'opera-static' conflict:
opera ( )

I used synaptic package manager to remove Opera 9.64, and then rebooted. But I still get the above error message when I try to install Opera 10.

Furthermore, it appears that the removal of Opera 9.64 did not take all since the icon is still in under Applications > Internet. And clicking it opens up Opera 9.64.

Assuming that the problem lies with a perhaps broken Opera 9.64, is there a sure way to remove it completely through some terminal commands -- before I attempt again to install Opera 10?

Thanks.

sudo apt-get --purge remove opera

Problem solved totally. Thanks for the prompt & competent help.
