The follow commands are what my script uses to automate this process:
Extract the libflashplayer.so from the archive:. Download the Adobe Flash 64-bit plugin:. This is the sequence of steps you need to install the plugin: It works great and fixes all the problems I listed above. It is being made available for developers and consumers to test their content to ensure new features function as expected, existing content plays back correctly, and there are no compatibility issues.ĭespite the fact that it’s an alpha release, I’ve had no problems with the plugin so far. This is a prerelease version of the Adobe® Flash® Player 10 software for Solaris and 64-bit Linux platforms. They have the following notice on the download page: This means that the plugin may not be stable and doesn’t have full support currently. This is not an official release version rather, it’s an alpha release. Shouldn’t it be offered as an option on the download page? It’s my fault for not knowing this until now, but I still wonder why it was so hard to find. They actually released this back in November. Adobe has finally released a 64-bit version of Flash. This resulted in every instance of Flash being replaced with a light-gray background.įortunately, I found a great solution to this problem: an actual 64-bit Adobe Flash Plugin. All too often, all Flash apps would fail. The new Hearts of Space Flash player didn’t work. Random parts of certain Flash applications would not work at all. Youtube would often times not work correctly.
Full length videos would sometimes take as long as five minutes to load.
Hulu would always take at least a minute to load any video. Google Analytics would crash the entire browser if I tried to change the date range. I had just a few problems with this solution: This solution used the 32-bit release version of Adobe’s Flash plugin and nspluginwrapper to allow the 32-bit plugin to be used with the 64-bit version of Firefox.
I provided some information on how I set up Flash on my system. In one of my earlier posts, I talked about setting up Ubuntu 64-bit on my Dell Studio 17 laptop.
