If you want 5.x then you will have to go with the binary install.

Did you install it with sudo or not? I suspect you may not want to do that, but without seeing the instructions you followed im...

Unfortunately not, wine does not have direct access to the hardware so you cannot install a windows driver with it.

AFAIK, no. It would be nice though, hopefully its on the cards for some point.

Are you using 64bit ubuntu?

I often found flash objects crashed to a blank image before I installed the alpha 64bit player. I suspect it may be an issue with npluginwrapper
