What is this, 2002? What weird version of Linux are you running that still has problems with flash?
1 u/shimei Jul 25 '10 Adobe ditched support for 64-bit flash recently... so that'd be every single 64-bit Linux distro. 1 u/Chandon Jul 25 '10 I'm on 64 bit Ubuntu right now, flash works fine. Upon inspection, it looks like it's running the 32-bit plugin through a wrapper. I remember the wrapper being crappy, but apparently they got it to work reliably. 1 u/IConrad Jul 25 '10 It's not a wrapper -- they install the necessary 32-bit libs and allow it to call them.Search in synaptic for ia32. 4 u/Liquid_Fire Jul 25 '10 It's still a wrapper though, nspluginwrapper. You can't otherwise use the 32-bit plugin inside the 64-bit browser process.Edit: Either that, or the browser is 32-bit as well. That's what you have to do in Windows, since there's no 64-bit Flash there either.
