Thanks, it works.

Sorry, but will this work with 64bit browsers installed? Or will the browser have to be 32bit?
October 16th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
@ MJ
Browsers have to be the 64bit version.

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

Thanks much. This script worked excellent.

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

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/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/downloads/flash10_en.sh | sudo sh

Wow, Super fantastic! Worked great for me on 64 bit Ubuntu 8.10
November 6th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
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!!

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.

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)
November 14th, 2008 at 3:33 am
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

Excelent!!
Thanks you so much!!
Very god job!!!
:DDDD

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

Should be version 10,0,20,7

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!

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.
December 29th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
Fantastic.
Thanks a lot. I could not figure out what the problem was!!
January 4th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
Ok, what do you do after you copy that and put it in the terminal? I have no idea >.<
