I have tried to do .rpm and .tar.gz and nearly threw my linux out the window. Any other way?

  • did you take a look at this http://pipelight.net/cms/installation.html – kenn Aug 02 '14 at 09:14
  • Have you tried: [How do I install Adobe Flash player?](http://askubuntu.com/questions/11/how-do-i-install-adobe-flash-player). Ubuntu needs debian (`.deb`) packages - rpm packages are for [RPM](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPM_Package_Manager) based systems (Fedora, CentOS, Scientific Linux, RedHat itself, etc) – Wilf Aug 02 '14 at 09:15

This is a side-effect of 32bit Steam needing 32bit Flash. If you're on a 64bit install, you're most likely only going to have 64bit copies of Flash installed. You're not the first person to hit this problem though and Valve has already published a guide on how to fix it.

The short of it is you create a plugins directory under your Steam dir (with mkdir -p ~/.steam/bin/plugins, if you like) and then copy the downloaded 32bit libflashplayer.so into it. Restart Steam and you should be good.
