    Cypher1101: There are no packages by that name in the normal repos; also, I think we're past that stage.

    Re: Cannot install Adobe Flash Player Plugin on amd64 architecture

    The problem's still there. I downgraded to Firefox 1.0.14, the repo's one, and flash works just fine. I ask myself what Flash-plugin is using, if version9-64bit, or version10-32bit+nswrapper.
    ???
    If anyone has new suggestions...are welcomed!

    Noa...I understand your installation run smoothly, but it's not my case and, it's not an absolute rule that what worked on your system must work on mine. I'm not so good with ubuntu to understand what differencies could there be...but obviously there are! As I followed step-by-step your kind instruction but could not watch neigher hear any flash video nor or sound.

    Go into Synaptic and remove these packages:

    flashplugin-nonfree
    flashplugin-install
    nspluginwrapper

    Remove all instances of Flash Player except for your 64-bit alpha version from Adobe Labs. You can find all instances by using this command:

    Code:
    locate libflashplayer.so
    Close Firefox and start it back up.
    +Mod up... like a million times.

    Re: Cannot install Adobe Flash Player Plugin on amd64 architecture

    Finally I sorted it out having flash-plugin working on ubuntu9.04 amd64 following the instruction given here:

    http://meandubuntu.wordpress.com/200...-ubuntu-amd64/

    I ask you only one thing...am I using 32bit plugin with nswrapper or native 64bit flashplugin? I enclose the script:

    # echo "Stopping any Firefox that might be running"
    # sudo killall -9 firefox
    #
    # echo "Removing any other flash plugin previously installed:"
    # sudo apt-get remove -y --purge flashplugin-nonfree gnash gnash-common mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla libflashsupport nspluginwrapper
    # sudo rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/*flash*
    # sudo rm -f ~/.mozilla/plugins/*flash*
    # sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/*flash*
    # sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/*flash*
    # sudo rm -rfd /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper
    #
    # echo "Installing ia32-libs and nspluginwrapper"
    # sudo apt-get install ia32-libs nspluginwrapper
    #
    # echo "Getting libs"
    # sudo getlibs -p libcurl3
    # sudo getlibs -p libnss3-1d
    # sudo getlibs -p libnspr4-0d
    #
    # echo "Installing Flash Player 10"
    # cd ~
    # wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get...0_linux.tar.gz
    # tar zxvf install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz
    # sudo cp install_flash_player_10_linux/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
    # sudo chmod +rx /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
    # rm -rf ~/install_flash_player_10_linux/
    # sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
    #
    # echo "Linking the libraries so Firefox can find it."
    # sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
    # sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/
    I would guess it is 32bit plugin...but at least it works!

    Ty all!

    Yep, it's 32 bit Hang around the forums, and maybe we can tell you when the beta is out, and maybe then you can install it and see if anything has changed.

    But flash-plugin 64bit alpha (or beta...same meaning..."sperimental") is ALREADY out!

    I guess...but not sure, it didnt work with all previous attempts I made because of the missing libraries as (bolded ones):

    # echo "Stopping any Firefox that might be running"
    # sudo killall -9 firefox
    # echo "Removing any other flash plugin previously installed:"
    # sudo apt-get remove -y --purge flashplugin-nonfree gnash gnash-common mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla libflashsupport nspluginwrapper
    # sudo rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/*flash*
    # sudo rm -f ~/.mozilla/plugins/*flash*
    # sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/*flash*
    # sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/*flash*
    # sudo rm -rfd /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper
    #
    # echo "Installing ia32-libs and nspluginwrapper"
    # sudo apt-get install ia32-libs nspluginwrapper
    #
    # echo "Getting libs"
    # sudo getlibs -p libcurl3
    # sudo getlibs -p libnss3-1d
    # sudo getlibs -p libnspr4-0d

    #
    # echo "Installing Flash Player 10"
    # cd ~
    # wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get...0_linux.tar.gz
    # tar zxvf install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz
    # sudo cp install_flash_player_10_linux/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
    # sudo chmod +rx /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
    # rm -rf ~/install_flash_player_10_linux/
    # sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
    #
    # echo "Linking the libraries so Firefox can find it."
    # sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
    # sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/
    Could I get back uninstalling everything but the lib's? And try it out that way?

    What you think Noa?

    I could use just this same script above without the installation process to clean previous (actual) flash-plugin, and then install the 64bit just moving it in the same folders as in the above script, with same symlinks...???

    Could it be a good idea?
