![]() ![]() I also remember one instance where I installed the 32-bit non-IE version of Flash, and upon checking the about:plugins page, the 64-bit Flash plugin used by my 64-bit Opera got updated too (along with the 32-bit Firefox plugin). In Opera (which is the 64-bit version), I checked that I am using the 64-bit (native) version of Flash, not the 32-bit version of the plugin. I checked the Flash version check page and the about:plugins page on my installation of the browsers, Opera (64-bit) and Firefox (32-bit) in my computer, and the versions of Flash for both have been upgraded to the current latest version. I downloaded and installed the current latest version of the 64-bit non-IE version of Flash. I'm asking as I've noticed that installing the 64-bit version of Flash, will also update the 32-bit version. To use it for any other accounts on your system, you will have to repeat the process.What are the differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit installers of Flash Player? Does the 64-bit installer also contain the 32-bit plugin? Now you can listen to you favorite online music sites or watch your favorite online movies and videos.įlashplayer only works for the user account it was installed under. Under shockwave flash, you should see the libflashplayer.so file. Restart firefox and go to the about:plugins to see if libflashplayer.so is visible.

I prefer to download the file to your preferred folder through the terminal using the wget command. You can download it directly from this site: To get things started, you will need to download “libflashplayer-latest_closed_beta.linux-x86_64.so.tar”. Goods news though, the alpha release is stable for the most part and works fine on my system. This is when you start to get into the nuts and bolts of the command line.Īdobe flash for 64bit ubuntu is still in the alpha mode and adobe plans to release the stable version for linux 64-bit sometime in the year of 2010. deb package files to install, it has to be done manually. The first thing to do was enable adobe flashplayer. As you can imagine, what I did in the 32bit I wanted to do in the 64bit. I started out with the 32bit version of ubuntu, which, for lack of a better phrase, “just works”.Now I am using an AMD64 dual core architecture and want to take full advantage of its power, so 64bit ubuntu was installed.

I’ve used it for almost a year, fully, and up to this point, have not had one major complaint. Ubuntu is a great linux OS, if not the best, that offers so much in the opensource world. ![]()
