Absolutely right Corey, you got the point which seems missing in the official view. To add the partner repository and look for adobe-flashplugin IS NOT AN USER-FRIENDLY SOLUTION! We cannot even advice user to install the extras packages because it will install flash-plugin 32 bits! Again, if you want to be user-friendly, 64 bit users must have only one package, 64bit, in the default repos. P.S. Description of the two packages are also outdated.

[Bug 326555] Re: Please package flashplugin 64bit
What the flashplugin-installer package currently does is that in postinst script, it downloads http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe- flashplugin_11.0.1.152.orig.tar.gz, and install the 32-bit flash plugin from it. However, the package contains both amd64 version and i386 version. I think flashplugin-installer for amd64 should be fixed so that it extracts 64bit flash plugin from it. This should be very easy to fix. @RussianNeuroMancer, I think there is no need to fix restricted-addons package, if flashplugin-installer is fixed to 64bit flash. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/326555 Title: Please package flashplugin 64bit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/326555/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 326555] Re: Please package flashplugin 64bit
For me I got a problem since I installed Karmic new: 1. Installation 2.'Software Center' -- extras for Ubuntu (mp3, avi, mpge, TrueType, Java, Flash; Codecs) Cause of non-functional videos on some sites (???) i deinstalled flashplugin-nonfree und manuelly installed the 10.0.32.18 version from 7/30/09 (seems to me a long time for a alpha version?). In Jaunty I got NOT ONE problem (with FF 3.0.x) with it, stable and even fast. But for me it looks like Firefox have a problem with it - look here: #471661 Also most of the movies 'flickers' in a strange way, on some sites the background 'comes through'... - and on some sites unexpected crashes without crash report! BUT: I don't want nspluginwrapper back! 75 results with 3 high importance speak for itself! -- Please package flashplugin 64bit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/326555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 326555] Re: Please package flashplugin 64bit
I will throw in my vote as well her: I have been testing Kubuntu Karmic since Alpha releases. I have installed the 64-bit version of flashplugin manually (copied into directory) and have had no problem since. My only complaint is that Konqueror is prompting through Update notifier that I need to install the repository package (nsplugin) which I simply don't want to. Lately there seems a way to make the update notifier shut up. So yes. Can we please replace the package with a proper 64-bit one? I too don't care if it's an alpha. It just works fine. I also see no problem of having both packages available - the nsplugin and the true 64-bit one. -- Please package flashplugin 64bit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/326555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 326555] Re: Please package flashplugin 64bit
Confirmed. I agree that if we don't want to include 64-bit Flash yet it's better not to include it at all. Experienced user will find a way to get it and inexperienced one *shouldn't* use this emulated 32-bit version as it works lower than any acceptable standards. I couldn't scroll videos from YouTube, sometimes it hangs completely etc. etc. 32-bit Flash should be erased from 64-bit Karmic - this is my point. Maybe an acceptable solution would be to make Firefox point to the proper Adobe labs site (when there is a Flash needed) containing 64-bit Flash download so that users could at least download it themselves without searching Google through? This is what I'm talking about: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html Firefox could also advise where to unpack the library file. -- Please package flashplugin 64bit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/326555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 326555] Re: Please package flashplugin 64bit
I'll throw in my vote. The 64-bit alpha is very stable. I upgraded to Karmic recently and was appalled that it still used nspluginwrapper (which consistently crashes for me). Who cares if the 64-bit plugin is given the name of alpha, when the state of the current nspluginwrapper configuration could easily be considered less than that? -- Please package flashplugin 64bit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/326555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Since the 32bit wrapper died multiple times a day I also installed the 64 alpha a week ago and not only does it play nicely with pulseaudio it also crashed not once. IMO the status of the 32bit wrapper is that bad that it can't be shipped - rather remove flash entirely on 64 bit! -- Please package flashplugin 64bit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/326555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@manzur: I'm also highly interested in it, but we must admit that the plugin is officially __alpha__ released through adobe's lab ... In some cases (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/35606) including mine, this plugin hangs the browser up on many sites with illegal instruction error message. Having made some searches, this is due to one missing cpu flag (lahf_lm) used by the plugin. The gentoo team has found a workaround to it. http://bugs.gentoo.org/268336 If necessary a wrapper emulating the missing flag is compiled and replaces the real .so library.

Another +1 for the x86_64 alpha being far, far, far more stable than the nspluginwrapper cludge that is used currently.

[Bug 326555] Re: Please package flashplugin 64bit
Here is my understanding of the issue: We know that 64-bit Flash alplace and alpha 2 (alpha refresh) are more stable than the 32-bit Flash, but that isn't the problem. We would make an exception to include it in Ubuntu, but the current script can olny download Flash from archive.canonical.com which cannot host non-final software for other reasons. My impression was that we need permission from Adobe, but i'm note sure what, here is no official support from adobe security wise means, but i think that since this is the only read thing impeding this, we should contact Adobe immediately to work around this. As far as other possible workarounds go, the old script that didn't take the file from archive.canonical and simply took it straight from Adobe ran into tons of errors so it would be unwise to go back to that method. I was, however, unaware of the link: http://packages.debian.org/sid/flashplugin-nonfree If the 64-bit package there uses the latest native 64-bit Flash (alpha 2), could we use that with the script? -- Please package flashplugin 64bit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/326555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have tried everything, from the official latest release of flash plugin from Adobe website , to the flashplugin-nonfree of the repository (that it's the same version10.0.22.87). I use Kubuntu 9.04 64bit. Firefox installed from repo, latest version 3.0.10. When I am seeing a flash video in firefox sometimes the video flash become of grey colour and I have to reload the web page to see again the flash video (and of course to reload it again -.-) I actually don't know if it's an issue related to firefox or to flash itself. This is a common issue, many 64bit users have it! Flash is actually a necessary element of every computer, it's quite hard this problem.

I'm using the 64-bit alpha version and it's working great. I have been experiencing browser crashes once in a while, but I don't know if that's due to the plugin (how can you tell?).
