This is for Gutsy only
I just spent a few hours combing the community documentation and the
Ubuntu Forums looking for the best resource for installing Flash on
64-bit systems. Wow, I was mesmarized by all of the information to do
such an easy task.
If you are using a 64-bit system, you do not have to:
1. install a 32-bit edition of Firefox
2. download the Adobe Flash Player from their website
3. don't have to mess with Pango
4. and a whole slew of others…
I was successful using the following commands in order to get not only
get Flash to work with Firefox on a 64-bit system, but also Konqueror.
Granted, Konqueror and Flash aren't best of friends right now with
Gutsy, and either is OpenOffice.org with Kubuntu Gutsy. Anyways, here
is exactly how I did it, and I would like you all to give it a shot
and let me know if it works for you. I am doing this all command line,
so bear with me.
First, install flashplugin-nonfree from the repos:
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
Second, wrap the flashplugin-nonfree with nspluginwrapper:
nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
Third, create a link from the new file located in your home directory
to the Firefox plugins directory:
sudo ln -s ~/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so
If you are using Firefox, you are good to go. Those of you using
Konqueror just have to go into the plugin settings in the Konqueror
configuration and scan for new plugins. It should be there and
working. If you have issues with this, could you please let me know.
Thanks. And if you are using Kubuntu Gutsy, I know that Konqueror
locks up when going to websites with flash animation or movies
embedded. Thanks everyone.
