[SOLVED] Cannot install Flash 9 in Kubuntu

Cloud Strife · 08-31-2008, 10:59 PM

For some reason I cannot install Adobe Flash 9 for Kubuntu

I tried the Adept Manager, with no success

Any ideas?

sudo dpkg --configure -a

then enter your root password(password you enter at the logon screen)

As seen in the picture, it says I need superuser privelege, which doesn't make sense because I am the administrator

there IS NO administrator in linux(at least not completely) you have to do sudo before the command and enter your root password

I found the problem, it was actually Firefox. Something called Flash Block installed itself without my knowledge.

Thanks though.

On the dpkg like it should look like this: (Everything else leave as is)

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Or you could just download it for you browser through the website.

I had tried sudo dpkg --configure -a multiple times, resulting in "dpkg: requested operation required superuser privelege"

???? sudo DOES give superuser privilege(stands for superuser do) so thats wierd. maybe su dpkg --configure -a would have worked. when you entered it did you see [sudo] password for administrator: in the terminal?
