I'm having graphical problems using the flash plugin in natty

[Jaime Fernando Ortega Culaciati]

Hi there! I'm having graphical problems using the flash plugin (10.2.153.1ubuntu1) in Ubuntu natty Beta 1 (amd64) with the latest updates, and I have this issue with almost every flash applications. It's very frustrating, but I've installed Adobe Flash Player "Square" Preview Release 3 (released: Nov 30, 2010) from: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html , and I don't have this problem anymore. I'll put some links with examples, just to show that this web applications are almost unusable. Here are the links:

This is how it looks with flash plugin (10.2.153.1ubuntu1)

And this is how it looks using Adobe Flash Player "Square" Preview Release 3:

digg: http://ubuntuone.com/p/lnm/

So please, is there any way to include this version of flash player as an alternative option? or replacing it? Is there someone else experiencing the same problem as me?

I'm using an Nvidia graphics card, and i've tested it using propietary and open (experimental) drivers.

I've noticed the same problem on my box (I also have Nvidia graphic card with binary drivers).
I think that Adobe is resposible for this situation. It doesn't supply 64-bit 10.2 flash plugin for linux platform.
I've tested the solution with nspluginwrapper and 32-bit flash plugin but I see a lot of artifacts
and some flash widget doesn't work at all.
The same situation can be noticed on on Debian testing when we use nspluginwrapper.

Please rise this item to critical state.

Jaime - Are you using a 64-bit or 32-bit version of Ubuntu?

I'm using a 64-bit version of ubuntu!

I've checked the Adobe website. It seems that Ruppertus is correct about the cause of this bug.
