Installing Flash Player

Hi!

I am trying to install Flash Player.
There seems to be an unsolved bug for months now in the ports system. Other users had the same Problem (f.e. http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=10818.

I went to ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/flashplugin/10.1r82/ using my webbrowser. The Directory is empty.

Code: 
# cd /usr/ports/www/linux-f10-flashplugin10/
# make
===>  Vulnerability check disabled, database not found
===>  License check disabled, port has not defined LICENSE
=> install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/flashplugin/10.1r82.
=> Attempting to fetch from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/.
fetch: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz: size mismatch: expected 4907270, actual 4907056
=> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/flashplugin/10.1r82/.

=> Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this
=> port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/flashplugin/10.1r82 and try again.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/www/linux-f10-flashplugin10.

So i found install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz on the adobe website and copied it to /usr/ports/distfiles/flashplugin/10.1r82/. I have also tried a different version of the package which I got from rapidshare (same name, but a different file size:q).

Now I get this Output:

Code:

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/www/linux-f10-flashplugin10.
*** Error code 1

The Checksums do not match and because of this, make is trying to fetch it again - which fails.

Thank you for help.
 
Remove the 10.1r82 directory from /usr/ports/distfiles and try again. Partial downloads are usually the culprit in this case.
 
It's because recently new version of Flash Player has been released (only a security patch). But the new version is still not in ports.
 
This package worked well.

Now the Problem is that i can't get the plugin to work. It is not shown on the site about:plugins in firefox.

But it seems to be installed correctly:

Code: 
$ kldstat
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1   13 0xc0400000 bb5504   kernel
 2    2 0xc0fb6000 2d900    linux.ko
 3    1 0xc4a13000 8000     linprocfs.ko

Code: 
$ nspluginwrapper -l
/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
  Original plugin: /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/libflashplayer.so
  Wrapper version string: 1.2.2
 
additional information:

Code: 
$ mount -p
/dev/ad0s1a		/			ufs	rw		1 1
devfs			/dev			devfs	multilabel 	0 0
/dev/ad0s1e		/tmp			ufs	rw		2 2
/dev/ad0s1f		/usr			ufs	rw		2 2
/dev/ad0s1d		/var			ufs	rw		2 2
procfs			/proc			procfs	rw		0 0
linprocfs		/usr/compat/linux/proc	linprocfs	rw		0 0
