    Thanks, it works.

  3. MJ Says:

    Sorry, but will this work with 64bit browsers installed? Or will the browser have to be 32bit?

  4. Alejandro Says:

    @ MJ
    Browsers have to be the 64bit version.

  5. MJ Says:

    Thanks for the info Alejandro! The previous fix I was using only worked properly with 32bit versions of the browsers.

    I`ve just used the script. But I have some problems with flash anyway:
    When open youtube the video isn`t shown, but sound is present.

  8. Marco Says:

  9. edantes Says:

    Failed here:

    sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

    gives a segmentation fault

  10. luiz aleagi Says:

    Works perfectly on Ubuntu 8.10 x64! Thanks man! @:)

  11. cirvaazny Says:

    Thanks much. This script worked excellent.

  12. MJ Says:

    Thank you again, it works, though Opera seems to crash randomly (I’m not sure if it’s Opera or this script)

  13. Cameron Says:

    Hey… here’s a little linux tip : there is no need to make the script executable if you are running ’sh’ explicitly !

    So, your command can be this :

    wget http://queleimporta.com/es/downloads/flash10_en.sh && sudo sh ./flash10_en.sh

    Or, you can even do it without a temporary file, causing wget to output the URL to standard output, then pipe the result into a sudo shell

    wget -O – http://queleimporta.com/es/downloads/flash10_en.sh | sudo sh

  14. kwong Says:

    Thanks! Your script worked without any glitch!

  20. Vampboy Says:

    Wow, Super fantastic! Worked great for me on 64 bit Ubuntu 8.10

  21. Snehal Says:

    Oh my god IT WORKS!!! I spent 1 month trying to solve this problem and was about to give up on Ubuntu and use my extra hard drive as storage for XP. I use ubuntu 8.04 on 64bit AMD athlon.

    I can’t beleive the ubuntu documentation site is so rubbish on this issue!!

  22. Smoking Peanuts Says:

    Hey Thx- when upgrading to unbuntu 8.10 this issue occurred where I was unable to hear music from flash player.thx for saving my many days of frustration. I hope to help others like you have helped me.

  23. Lanyard Says:

    It works, but it’s slower than another option I wanted to try. How do I undo all this? (I’m not yet expert with terminal)

  24. Rainer Says:

    Thanks, works great with ubuntu 8.10_64bit, but after this Installation some Sites loads very slowly. Is a Collision with Fasterfox possible?
    Sorry for my bad English ;)

  25. Konstantin Says:

    Hmmm…
    All works except small swf on my website.

  26. Ronan Says:

    Excelent!!

    Thanks you so much!!

    Very god job!!!

    :D DDD

  27. Road Says:

    It removes the previous 32bit version of flash 10 and then installs the just released 64bit beta version from Adobe. So far everything works good for me and it does seem faster than using the wrapper.

    Just copy from the “#!/bin/bash” to the bottom and paste it to a file and then run it.

    sudo bash “file_name.sh”

    Test here
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/

    Should be version 10,0,20,7

  28. andy zebrowitz Says:

    THANK you. flashplugin-nonfree wouldn’t work thanks to Adobe moving the URL, and gnash is just a joke. I’ve been fighting with this all day, and your script did the trick. Appreciate it!

  29. drmufasa Says:

    Dude, you are heaven sent. I’ve been trying to get flash to work on firefox for weeks. All the gibberish at those other sites was driving me nuts.

  30. Serge Says:

    Fantastic.
    Thanks a lot. I could not figure out what the problem was!!

  31. wolfguy Says:

    Ok, what do you do after you copy that and put it in the terminal? I have no idea >.<

  32. steve Says:

    just installed ubuntu 8.04 x64 did the update thing and then copy and pasted your code, THANK YOU it worked like a charm, just had to type y when requested and terminal did the rest, keep up the good work once again
    THANK YOU

  33. Linux Newb Says:

    There is a new version out. Version: 10.0.15.3 This script upgrades me to 10,0,12,10. How can I update the script to pull the latest version? How did you get the download location for the original script?

  34. Alejandro Says:

    @ Linux Newb
    You need to use the newer version of the script located here –> http://queleimporta.com/es/finally-adobe-releases-native-64-bit-flash-10-for-linux/

  35. Tyler Says:

    Flash now has a 64-bit linux version of flash-player available as of version 10. They don’t seem to make it easy to download, though.

    I was able to run this flash-player on Fedora at work. Caveat: I used a package from a thirdparty somewhere on the net. The same RPM package does not easily install on ubuntu, given all my software is installed using dpkg.

  36. Janis Says:

    GREAT! It works. Thank you!

  37. boron Says:

    To install Flash 10 version 10.0.12.36 on Ubuntu 8.04 64 Bits, (Released October 15 2008)

    Copy and Paste the following on the terminal:

    wget http://queleimporta.com/es/downloads/flash10_en.sh && sudo chmod +x flash10_en.sh && sudo sh ./flash10_en.sh
    was the advice I saw. As a newbie,I haven’t found tat it is possible to paste into the terminal window by pressing V so I had to type it, and must’ve put an extra space in or left one out, so it didn’t work for me.So how do you “paste it’ pls?

  38. Alejandro Says:

    to paste on the terminal use ctrl+shft+v

  39. Chas Says:

    Worked like a charm – thank you very much. I have repeatedly had problems with npviewer – very happy to be done with it!!!

  40. neogeo2 Says:

    It’s works! THX

  41. Chas Says:

    I do have a problem after this install. Some web site cause Firefox to crash as the page is loading. It was suggested on the Ubuntu Forums that it could be my video card – an Nvidia. There is a thread on the Adobe site that I think confirms that the problem is related to the video card. I am still happier with the new install than I was with npviewer – there are not that many sites that cause a problem and the only impact is the failure of Firefox. The Abode home page is one that crashes Firefox with an “illegal instruction”. Thanks again for posting the install help.

  42. Antti Haverinen Says:

    You are GENIUS! Ablolutely the best way to solve this problem. I tried all those “tips” before I came across your excellent solution. I am in dept to you!

    All the best!
