Comment 16 for bug 554449

Hi,

The standard solution for this is to enable the 'multiverse' repo and then install flashplugin-installer. This basically does the same as the scripts linked above but in a neater way, and doesn't trample on the 'alternatives' system.

To see what Ubuntu thinks it is using as the current Flash plugin:

update-alternatives --display firefox-flashplugin

To install the above along with various other non-free multimedia stuffs:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Adobe do have an alpha version of the 64-bit player:

But if you want reliable Flash then the best current solution is to use the 32-bit Flash with npwrapper, which is what the flashplugin-installer currently does for you.

I've just tried all the above on a fairly fresh installation of 10.04 RC1, so I hope it all works for you too.

Cheers,

TIM
