Hi !

installing flash on 64bit is quite a headache. The problem is the adobe plugin does not work for 64bits.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins?action=show&redirect=FirefoxAMD64FlashJava

You can also give gnash a try. gnash is an opensource alternative to the proprietary adobe flash player that works on 64bits. I found the plugin to be quite buggy last time I tried it, but it is worth giving it a try. It's available in the repos.

And @Neo : your saying some nonsense !

why would you update repo info and not download the package from synaptic ?

and no need for any reboot !!

still no help. the above did not work..

There must be a simple work around for the 64 bit, if not, then I guess I will not have flash, and will have to install
a dual boot, and put Windows on....This would really suck.

Try that.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435

And getting flash working on your machine is totally possible. You do not need to install windows...

I have tried all the advise for here, yet none works.

I think that this is ONE BIG BUG, and should be
fixed......

Anyone else have any Ideas?

I can assure you it works. I've already done that. What exactly fails ??

As for the bug thing, complain to adobe for not releasing a 64 bit version.

When I run the installer - flashplugin-nonfree I get the below.

Package: flashplugin-nonfree

Status: Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'

the install package is grayed out.

It does not work in a 64 bit pc.

any other ideas??

Have you read the link I gave you ?

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435

You are supposed to execute a script. No to install flash-plugin non free directly, which will fail.

I had to reinstall the system, to get it to work. I guess for some reason, part of the 64 bit
did not install. I was not even given an error about. Had to find out the hard way.

All working now.
