Got it yesterday as an update through PackageKit (so nice of Adobe to set up a yum repo ;) ).

 

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

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?
