Also one for Ubuntu.

 

Though the rumour says that Flash 11 will be 64-bit compatible.

To install Flash 10 for 64-bit Ubuntu manually;

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

The new flash seems to be working well on my laptop with Mandriva 2008.0 and my desktop with Mandriva 2008.1. No complaints so far...

I've just tried to install Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.12.36 on my Mandriva Linux release 2009.0 (Official) for x86_64 (free edition), unsuccessfully

 

I downloaded the package from Adobe website to a local directory and run as root

# urpmi flash-plugin-10.0.12.36-release.i386.rpm

then I tried to run nspluginwrapper to enable the i386 plugin for my x86_64 firefox-3.0.3-2mdv2009.0 browser. Unfortunately nspluginwrapper was not installed by default. So I had to

# urpmi nspluginwrapper

and then

# nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so

but I've got this error message

*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** ERROR: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

so I installed libnss3

# urpmi libnss3

and once again

# nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so

this time there were no errors. I checked the plugin directory, npwrapper.libflashplayer.so was there

# ls /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/
libjavaplugin.so@		  libtotem-cone-plugin.so*  libtotem-mully-plugin.so*		npwrapper.libflashplayer.so*
libtotem-basic-plugin.so*  libtotem-gmp-plugin.so*   libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.so*  npwrapper.so@

 

Then I restarted firefox. Unfortunately all the flash objects appear as grey boxes. I don't have my Mandriva 2008 edition any more to compare installation. Maybe I should have created a link from one of the browser plugin directories to /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so? Anyone facing the same problem?
