* UPDATED, Finally! Adobe releases native 64 bit Flash 10 for Linux

Posted on February 11th, 2010 by Alejandro. Filed under 64-bit, Firefox, Flash, Linux.


UPDATED Feb 11/2010

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:
