Installing 64-bit Adobe Flash Player 10 for Linux on Ubuntu 8
Yesterday, Adobe announced Flash Player 10 for Linux 64 bit systems.
Be advised that this is pre-release quality. We hope to receive useful feedback about what areas need to be improved. You can help. You can report bugs at the Flash Player bug tracker.
I already had the Beta running on my mediacenter, but here’s how I installed the plugin on my mediacenter, running Ubuntu 8.
Uninstall your existing plugins, download the new plugin and install it to your plugin directory.
for i in `locate libflashplayer.so`; do rm $i; done;
wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
tar -xzvf libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
chmod +x libflashplayer.so
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/
Voila: you’re done! Check if it works in about:plugins or at Deconcept’s Flash Detection page.
Remember, I always become SuperUser using sudo su, so I have enough rights.
