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 and nspluginwrapper are uninstalled.

Download it from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz untar, copy and link  libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins by doing the following in the terminal. (make sure you close Firefox first)

tar zxvf libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/

Done!

Or, alternatively (you should always read and understand scripts before running them) 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:

Now there are no more reasons not to install 64bit Ubuntu. First is was Adobe with their native 64 bit Flash plug-in and now Sun has released a native 64 bit Java plug-in.

To install the 64 bit java plugin on Intrepid 8.10:

1. Download the bin file here
2. cd /opt
3. sudo sh jre-6u12-ea-bin-b03-linux-amd64-22_dec_2008.bin
4. cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
5. sudo ln -s /opt/jre1.6.0_12/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
6. Restart Firefox

Done!

Now that Intrepid (Ubuntu 8.10) is out, installing the latest version of flash 10 (ver. 10.0.12.36) is easier than never before, just type the following in your terminal

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

Done!

Alternatively you can simply select the package flashplugin-nonfree in synaptic.
