Thanks, its very important to do a complete removal of older flash plugin and nsplugin either via Synaptic or through apt-get –purge remove way. Otherwise use Alejandro’s excellent script here.

This is great and I really enjoy having native 64-bit performance. Thank you!

I had a minor issue with Seamonkey. That browser does not work with the 64-bit flash. I ended up downloading a copy of the 10.0 r15 Flash and copying it to the plugins directory but changed the filename (added ‘64′ to the 64-bit version) so that both versions are present in the plugins directory. Now Seamonkey and Firefox are both happy.

It might be a good idea to make a copy of your existing flash as well. I’ve run into one site that does not work properly with either of the version 10 Flash plugins, but many sites that run just fine (and a lot faster).

After several tries from a variety of web tips your script worked like a charm. Flash was working fine until just a few days ago. Thanks, it works great now……

Hi !

I don’t know if you offer “support” trough this web. But… I have Ubuntu 8.4 (64 bits) and that script doesn’t work for me.

I have tried to run it on the two ways but nothing happens. Even if I download the .sh file and execute it as root

What else could it be ? What can I do ?

Thanks !

THX. BRILLIANT. I had endless trouble with the version that comes with 8.10 your script solved it all brilliantly

Thank you so much. Tried several other ,ethods but none worked. They would always give me that blank box. Your method makes it run so much better than anything else

Installed your latest script, but now Gmail wont open (crashes everytime). Think I might uninstall and go back to your old script.



Kelly Says:

Script worked fine.

But, whenever I open bbc.co.uk/iplayer or gmail firefox crashes.



Kelly Says:
June 6th, 2009 at 3:42 pm

Seems even with -safe-mode set it seg. faults.

Created a new profile and bing, works fine no crashes on iPlayer.

So solution must be to create a new profile after updating to this flash.



Kelly Says:

OK, spoke too soon, still crashes firefox. Using Ubuntu 9.04 on Core2Duo, firefox 3.0.0.10 (adblock plus, downthemall!, googlepreview, xmarks addons).



alex Says:

Any chance you will update the script with 10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so??



Alejandro Says:
August 2nd, 2009 at 7:11 am

Script has been updated to use latest Adobe Flash version 10.0.32.18

Thanks for the great article.

I recently upgraded to Firefox 3.5.3 on 64-bit Ubuntu 9.04 and could not get the Flash plugin to work. Thanks to this, I finally got it working.

Done
You may re-start Firefox now and enjoy native 64 bit Flash!

Help!
I get this error message when I enter the above code:

matthew@matthew-laptop:~$ tar zxvf libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
tar: libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Make sure of two things
1) you have downloaded this file, http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplay...
2) You are issuing the "tar zxvf libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz" command on the directory where you downloaded the file in #1

You could also, just paste in the terminal (ctrl+shift+v) the following command,
wget http://queleimporta.com/downloads/flash10_x64_en…. && sudo chmod +x flash10_x64_en.sh && sudo sh ./flash10_x64_en.sh

Thought this had not worked after cutting and pasting the command line above. Fire fox crashed! Then remembered reading somewhere that a reboot solved the problem!!!

Add "Do a rebbot!" and the instructions works a treat!



Patrick Says:

Thank you for your brief and very useful tutorial.

However I think one thing should be corrected – at least from what I experienced. You imply there are two ways to install the plugin; first (the beginner version) by tar'ing it and simply copying it to the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder, or second by using the all-in-one wget command line. When I performed the first way to install it, it didn't work yet instead when I tried to use the wget version it did work. Just want to clear this up because it's implied with the first version that simply copying the shared library to the ….plugins/ folder will simply make it work — can you confirm this is true or not? In my experience this was certainly not true. After further examination of the 'advanced' wget version, might I have been forgetting to change the permissions and subsequently running the shell script? If that is necessary, then I don't think there are two separate ways to do this based on your tutorial – in other words, might there just be one way to do it? I ask because I got stuck on the first version for a bit, consulted with IRC folks, became frustrated and said what the heck, I'll try the wget line and voila! it worked.

Anyways, it'd be great to your analysis/opinion on what I experienced. And lastly, wow ! — no longer dealing with nspluginwrapper is a dream come true! That process always sucked as I was constantly killing it for behaving badly.

Thank you!



acuervo Says:
October 15th, 2009 at 3:55 pm

Both ways are exactly the same, one is completely manual and the other by means of a script.
The manual part was missing one step. (linking the libraries). I have updated the post.
I have also removed the "experienced users" words as I really wasn't trying to imply there was a beginner version.

Alejandro,

The script worked perfectly for me. But Ff 3 and Ff3.5 both crash for me when I used a site (safari books online) that uses the Flash content. It's not stable. After I browse a few pages of an e-book using the plugin, it invariably crashes Firefox! This is a shame. How can a plugin crash the browser?

I am about to redo the Firefox installation.

My environment:

Linux xxxxx 2.6.28-15-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 9 10:48:52 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ firefox -v
Mozilla Firefox 3.0.14, Copyright (c) 1998 – 2009 mozilla.org



acuervo Says:
October 30th, 2009 at 10:56 pm

Several people have told me about the crashing. Most of them have also told me that a reboot fixes that. I don't know why, but you could certainly try that to see if it helps.



acuervo Says:
October 30th, 2009 at 10:56 pm

Thank you so much. Having tried and tried various other "solutions" that didn't work – using the "wget" one seems to have done the job.
Thanks again.

great, thanks for this blogpost!
just went from 32 to 64 bit ubuntu karmic – meaning i have fresh install so i had to mkdir /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins manually. and i suppose it was reason why your automatic script didnt work(?) could need a little fix

yes, thanks very much. i was able to use flash before, but was not able to use MLB.com's audio stream. this enabled me to do so, but now audio doesn't work with flash (youtube, mlb.com, games, etc.). so, you got me halfway there.
