About flash player
Hi folks,
Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64 Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.12 I need to install Adobe Flash Player which can be download on Adobe Website. I don't think this proprietary package will be available on repo. $ apt-cache search 'adobe flash player' No printout $ apt-cache search 'flash player' Code:
libflash-swfplayer - GPL Flash (SWF) Library - stand-alone player liborange-dev - development libraries for liborange liborange0 - library to extracts CAB files from self-extracting installers orange - extracts CAB files from self-extracting installers Code:
libflash-swfplayer - GPL Flash (SWF) Library - stand-alone player mathwar - A flash card game designed to teach maths Code:

I'm running 64 bit Firefox. Is there a solution avoiding installing an additional 32bit Firefox? TIA B.R. satimis

yeah you can.
did you try installing the ia32 libs and chrooting the ia32 libs in x64? there is a nice tuts on how to use prop bin in 32 bit env. google up. and gnu's flash supports flash 8, where as adobe IMHO flash 7. not so sure.
gnash is ideal, if you cvs and svn or git up from the source. and not the .deb bin. if you ask _me_? i would suggest build from source and check for CV's list from vulnerability and update and apply patches as per the need of the hour. good luck.

I did it before on Fedora7 installing 32bit flash on 64bit Firefox. It worked w/o problem, not difficult to install. As I'm now running 64bit Ubunutu I expect finding a solution on Ubuntu. Quote:

not at all sure of ubuntu but i did it with debian and slack. kind of ubuntu allergy and also i am trying to make it work in my lfs i call my distro "deserted" why? because this is purely an education distro and nothing to do with name/fame. this is more or less a platform which i am trying to go forward with me learning more than i can learn myself from other distro. when i bake my cake i try to make sure its eatable, atleast.
 Debian amd64: iceweasel with i386 plugins, outside a chroot you may have some trouble with mplayer's 32 bit plugins running them native. i use it to convert the flash files i download as flv and converting them as DVD so i can watch in a dvd player.

When I use Ubuntu, I base my sources.list off UbuntuGuide. If you follow their steps (i.e., download the key, update, etc.) you can use the following:
Code:
apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
