Finally we have a native 64bit Flash 10. It is working very well, I highly recommend it.

Before installing it, make sure that previous versions of Flash are uninstalled.

Download it from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz, untar and copy the libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins by doing the following in the terminal

tar zxvf libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

Done!

Or, for experienced linux users (powerusers) you can do this installation just by copying and pasting the following in the terminal:

wget http://queleimporta.com/downloads/flash10_x64_en.sh && sudo chmod +x flash10_x64_en.sh && sudo sh ./flash10_x64_en.sh

This script will install Native 64 Bit Flash 10 and will also remove previous versions of flash and the not needed anymore “nspluginwrapper”

Note: If you just want to see the code for the script, it is available here:
http://queleimporta.com/downloads/flash10_x64_en.sh

Tired of wasting money buying ink-jet cartridges that run out without even using them, I recently bought a Canon ImageCLASS MF4270 Laser Printer. It is also a multifunctional device with scanner, copier and fax.

Canon now provides .deb files for easy installation of their ImageCLASS MF4270 printer on Ubuntu Linux (or other debian based distributions). Unfortunately they are only providing them for i386 (32 Bit Systems)

For RPM based distributions however, they do provide 64-Bits installation files.

Using alien I converted these 64bit RPM to deb.

I am making them available here for your convinience:

• cndrvcups-common_1.70-2_amd64.deb
• cndrvcups-ufr2-uk_1.70-2_amd64.deb

For the scanner part follow this guide:
