To install Flash Player 10.1 Beta 3 in Linux:
First remove your current version of flash
- If you are using the Ubuntu repository version of Flash
in a terminal type:
sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-installer
- If you are using another version of the Flash Player Beta
rm ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
- Download Flash 10.1 Beta3
wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_1_p3_linux_022310.tar.gz
- Untar flashplayer10_1_p3_linux_022310.tar.gz
tar -zxvf flashplayer10_1_p3_linux_022310.tar.gz
- Then create a plugin folder in the .mozilla configuration folder
mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins
(you need to create the plugin folder if your are upgrading from the other Flash beta guides I wrote)- Install the flash player 10.1 Beta 3 plugin
mv libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins
- To remove Flash Player 10.1 Beta 3 and reinstall Ubuntu's repository version of flash
rm -r ~/.mozilla/plugins
then:sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

Just Thought I would throw this out there, but if you are using chromium and want use the latest flash you need to copy libflashplayer.so to
/usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
It will start working then. I made sure to remove all previous flash versions popped the new one in there and voila.
Another option is to create a symbolic link to the libflashplayer.so file in your user folder then you just update that one everytime without copying it to the other folder.
Anyway just throwing that out there since others are probably using old flash with chromium
