Install Adobe Flash Player 10 on Ubuntu 64bit

Followed instructions exactly. Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 amd64. Does not work.

David,

can you post the output of "ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/"

I'm available to help you get flash player 10 running :)

does not work for me either

ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9953520 2008-05-20 12:12 libflashplayer.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 60 2008-05-20 12:10 npwrapper.libflashplayer.so -> /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so

David and Peter,

After you guys told me that the tutorial did not worked for you i decided i should try following the same tutorial on a clean Hardy 64bit install. And indeed it did not worked.

After looking around for a while i have figured out that FF3b5 that's default in Hardy is trying to get plugins from /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins

All i had to do to make FF3 work was to link the plugin in there also. i have update in BOLD font the tutorial.

Now everything should be fine.

Thanks for the replies.

THX that helped for FF#3

however do you know how to do the same thing for opera I trie to use opera plugins config to add the same paths but it would do no good

Peter,

I don't use Opera but i thought to give it a try an test the plugin.

I just downloaded the 64bit package from a mirror here in Romania (ftp://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/ftp.opera.com/linux/950b2/final/en/x86_64/opera_9.50b2-20080422.2-shared-qt_amd64.deb) and after install, on 1st run of Opera it detected the flash 10 plugin and it just worked.

I checked the options and here is what i have in my Plug-in path:
/usr/lib/opera/plugins:/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

Peter,

i have posted a screenshot of how my Plugin Options look like for my Opera:

I have the same settings but i does not work guess I'll have to reinstall opera

Worked perfectly on Hardy Heron. You guys saved my life from evil Windows.

i manage to install the flash.but i can hear no sound when i open a youtube video.

Thanks, really useful - especially as you can simply copy and paste your solutions - no "#" or "$" at the beginning of each line that needs removing!

Hi. When I try the following command:
sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

I get the following error message:
*** NSPlugin Viewer *** ERROR: libssl3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Josh.

I got it working now... there may be more recent instructions out there, but yours worked with the latest Flash Player 10 RC. As for the missing 32-bit libraries, I just got them manually from Ubuntu's archives.

Unpack the libs from each of these packages to /usr/lib32/:
libnss3-1d
libnspr4-0d
libcurl3

Get them from:
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nss/libnss3-1d_3.12.0.3-0ubuntu5_i386.deb
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nspr/libnspr4-0d_4.7.1+1.9-0ubuntu0.8.04.5_i386.deb
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/curl/libcurl3_7.18.2-1ubuntu1_i386.deb

(Just extract them, don't try to install directly. Look in the data.tar.gz tarball for the actual libs, unpack to /usr/lib32/)

And of course the latest Flash download URL from Adobe:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html

Hi,

I have done exactly what you said to try and get flash working. I had flash working via some other method ( which i cant remember now DOH!!! ) but it had no sound.

I cannot get this to work, no youtube is like not having tv and that makes me day can you help???

Please :)

Dave

There is an error:

IS: chmoX +x install_flash_player_10_ubuntu64bit
SHOULD BE: chmoD +x install_flash_player_10_ubuntu64bit

Flash works on some web sites, but it doesn't work on others. Also sound is non-existent. I'll use a different method until there is a workaround or fix.

I'm getting the error:

*** NSPlugin Viewer *** ERROR: libssl3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

too, but sadly for me the instructions given earlier:

(Just extract them, don't try to install directly. Look in the data.tar.gz tarball for the actual libs, unpack to /usr/lib32/)

simply don't help me. I've download 2 of the files - the third doesn't exist. I downloaded the file which looked the most likely from the same folder though.

But I've never used tar before. I can't use file manager because I don't have permission. I've spent some time playing with tar but I'm not getting anywhere. I don't know what to extract to /usr/lib32, nor how. I thought perhaps an easy option would be to extract the files locally and use the simpler cp command, but when I experimented with that I noticed that the colour of some of the files changed. I think links are not surviving the cp.

I don't mind learning more about linux just to get flash working on my 64 bit OS but this curve is a little steep and I'd appreciate some help here. So

1) can someone confirm that I can use
libcurl3_7.18.2-1ubuntu4_i386.deb
instead of
libcurl3_7.18.2-1ubuntu1_i386.deb

2) how do I extract the relevant files from that into /usr/lib32/ ?
I think if just the libcurl instructions were given I could adapt them for the other 2. I know know which level of the hierarchy needs to be copied, nor how.

Thanks in advance for any help.

There's a much easier way to do this!

Just go into terminal and paste this code:

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

Just hit yes every time it asks you, and it will install it for you.

If you'd like to see the script to make sure it's nothing bad, just follow this link:

http://queleimporta.com/downloads/flash10_en.sh

@DepraveD: if you check the source of the script you linked to, you'll notice that it is the same script as on this site, but with some extensions added by Alejandro Cuervo.

I'd like to thanks Alejandro Cuervo for getting the time to keep the script up to date.

@ Romeo Adrian
Thank you, for creating the original script.
I'll try to keep it up to date until adobe releases a native 64bit.
Alejandro Cuervo

thanks Alejandro Cuervo, your magic script is by far the best solution ive ever seen!

I would like to thank you, DepraveD. :D

as root create a folder named "plugins" in home/.mozilla (show hidden files)
and put libflashplayer.so inside.

Thanks a lot for the wonderful tutorial. I was lazy, so I used the script, which worked perfectly for me!

Thanks again!

This worked perfectly in Ubuntu 8.10. Thanks for the shell script and the effort to produce this information.

A much cleaner fix... worked on my Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 64-bit:

Brian,

I recommend you to use the official Adobe 64bit Flash Plugin. Works much better that the ndiswrapper solution.

here is a tutorial: http://www.myscienceisbetter.info/2008/11/install-native-64bit-flash-player-10-on-linux.html

thank you very much, I have ubuntu 9.04 and the script work so good.
