Comments on Installing The Adobe Flash Plugin 10 On A 64bit Ubuntu 8.04

Thank you so much!!!! This worked PERFECTLY

Amazingly Easy for a newbie, Did a ditro update from Intrepid to Jaunty, ran into issues with adobe, previous solution did not work for all sites like hulu, this is great, thank you!

thank you very much for this scripts! I use it for Ubuntu 8.10 (Linux 2.6.27-11-generic, GNOME 2.24.1) and it works fine. now i can to watch you-tube and others striming videos.

Hi,

I found the same script to install Flash Player 10 here :

http://meandubuntu.wordpress.com/2008/08/20/flash-10-rc-on-ubuntu-amd64/

I really appreciate all the tutorials you supply, but I always skip to the second page since the first page is just lots of screenshots which really are not needed.

 This tutorial could (should) have been as simple as this:

http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-flash-10-ubuntu-linux-64bit.html

Hello,

 how can I uninstall all this stuff?

 I did it because only videos where playing but no flash at bwin.com or other betting sites. Now, nothing works. Any idea of how to remove it?

Thanks

this just killed all flash on my firefox. nothing flash related works now.

The preferred mechanism for installing Flash 10 on 64-bit Ubuntu 8.10 is via the flashplugin-nonfree package.

Because he is talking about flash 10, not flash 9.

Because this is a tutorial for Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 which does not have a flashplugin-nonfree package for amd64...  Hopefully it'll be in backports at some point (we can hope).

try..

echo "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hardy partner" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

apt-get install  adobe-flashplugin

I'm very glad having found such a detailed tutorial like yours, and flash is working how it never worked on my machine. As I'm a not so long-year-experienced linux user, I was very pleased to find all the screenshots and all the input for the terminal.

greetings

Make sure you check out

 http://queleimporta.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-flash-10-on-ubuntu-64-bits/en/

1st before running the script. The author of the script has made improvements to it. If you followed falko's instructions here and have now completely lost all of your Flash (and Adobe PDF for some reason). Just run the new script from queleimporta.com and it will restore your flash.

 the most current version of the script is:

 wget http://queleimporta.com/downloads/flash10_en.sh && sudo chmod +x flash10_en.sh && sudo sh ./flash10_en.sh

but make sure you check the website in case queleimporta makes more changes.

Of course you could always just use the 64bit adobe flash plugin:

Adobe release 64 bit flash for Linux

don´t get me wrong, but i don´t understand these kinds of how-tos.

flash "installation" is as simple as copying a file within a file browser. just download the flash tar.gz from adobe, untar it with file-roller and then copy the *.so file to /home/<your name>/.mozilla/plugins. if that directory does not exist create it.

Thankx for the info, tryed  very clear and worked!
