FLASH-AID: remove conflicting plugins and install proper flash plugin version

[xzero1]

You are probably using a mirror sever that hasn't been updated with this morning changes. See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors

This morning's update installed 10.1.53.64. Thanks.

Just wanted to chime in and say that both the stable and beta release installed and functioned flawlessly for me in 64-bit Lucid. It, of course, had to install 32-bit Flash with ndiswrapper because Adobe is a bunch of ... well, everyone knows. Anyways, let's hope Adobe gets their act together (lol here if you want) and gets back on track with a 64-bit version of Flash... For now I'm having to hoard my 10.0.x version of 64-bit so Hulu functionality isn't broken.

Yes I have already tried to recreate the symlink...
Although the Zattoo rich client doesn't work, using the online web client within Firefox works perfectly (maybe in this case this is Firefox that verifies the flash version).
So for the WorldCup it's sufficient.

Thanks for your help and good luck to the Brazil!

Good luck to your team too.

For those having issues when clicking flash controls while using the 32bit plugin running on a 64bit browser, try this:

gksudo gedit /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer

Add the following line before the last line:

export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1

Save and restart the browser.

I have 64-bit Ubuntu with 64-bit Firefox. I had the flash configuration set up and it was working pretty well, there we're no problems in Youtube and the only problems that I had were on websites that I do not visit very frequently.

I hoped that the Flash Aid plugin would solve these few problems, but it in fact made it worse.

I started the plugin and it informed me that it would install the 32-bit version even though I was running 64-bit. I allowed it do so, and it says that it finished succesfully.

However, now flash barely works anywhere. Youtube, for example, will not play/pause and the other options won't work either

Can you please give me some instruction on how to reverse the effects of the plugin?

Thanks a lot, lovinglinux.

I had this problems since I installed ubuntu Lucid Linx.

I used your tool, and it worked perfectly.

Thanks again. Very useful for people like me, who love linux (as you do ), but who are only final users, not very handy with shell commands.

The extension installed the 32bit plugin because Adobe is no longer supporting the 64bit and ALL currently available versions have a critical vulnerability. You shouldn't use the 64bit version anymore, at least until the provide a new version. When they do, I will provide it again with FLASH-AID.

Meanwhile, you can fix you problem doing the following:

gksudo gedit /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer

Add the following line before the last line of the file opened by the previous command:

export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1

Save and restart the browser.

You are welcome.
