ubuntu has no flashplayer that works with slimboat

[Rick Parker]

i'm sorta new to linux and ubuntu but i really like ubuntu for most part, i found a browser that i really like its called "slimboat" by "flashpeak" ...i play farmville on facebook a lot because i'm disabled and can't get out and do anything, but can't get it to work because it says i need to upgrade my flashplayer, but that does not help, i do not like firefox or google chrome, would love to get slimboat to work, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks Rik.....

Do you have the following packages installed?:
sudo apt-get install libnss3 libnspr4 flashplugin-installer

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, it seems that you are not using a software package provided by the official Ubuntu repositories. Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software package. Thanks!

You have to know that the last version of Flash Player that Adobe made available for Linux (Linux in general not Ubuntu only) is 11.2 . A newer version for Linux does not exist and probably will never be.

Linux and Ubuntu cannot do anything about that. It was Adobe's decision.

If you need a newer version of flash player I would suggest to use Google Chrome. It has the latest flash player integrated.

I'm closing this bug and converting it to a question in the support tracker. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at http://askubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org.

Thanka for the report.
