Adobe Labs - Downloads: Flash Player 10 for 64-bit Linux
http://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer#A64bitor32bitonamd64We have temporarily closed the Labs program of Flash Player 10 for 64-bit Linux, as we are making significant architectural changes to the 64-bit Linux Flash Player and additional security enhancements. We are fully committed to bringing native 64-bit Flash Player for the desktop by providing native support for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux 64-bit platforms in an upcoming major release of Flash Player. We intend to provide more regular update information on our progress as we continue our work on 64-bit versions of Flash Player. Thank you for your continued help and support.
At this point flashpugin-nonfree is useless on amd64. Adobe no longer supports the 64 bit player. See this bug report http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=58627364 bit or 32 bit on amd64
Lenny (stable), Squeeze (testing), Sid (unstable): The 32 bit version of Adobe Flash Player 10 is installed on i386. The 64 bit version of Adobe Flash Player 10 (still in Adobe labs) is installed on amd64. Users of amd64 who prefer to use the 32 bit version of Adobe Flash Player 10 can install a browser and the 32 bit plugin in an i386 chroot as well described in the AMD64 HOWTO
Security considerations
Users of Adobe Flash Player should follow security bulletins and advisories published at http://www.adobe.com/support/security/ .
Recent news: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/b ... 10-14.html
Are OK now:
* 32 bit player of flash player 10 on i386 systems : 10.1.53.64
* 32 bit player of flash player 10 on amd64 systems via chroot : 10.1.53.64
* 32 bit player of flash player 9 on i386 systems : 9.0.277.0
* 32 bit player of flash player 9 on amd64 systems via nspluginwrapper : 9.0.277.0
Are not yet OK:
* 64 bit player on amd64 systems : 10.0.45.2
Users of the 64 bit player on amd64 systems are advised to switch to the 32 bit player, at least until Adobe has released a fixed 64 bit player.
So for now we are back to either using nspluginwrapper or using 32bit flash in chroot. For the 32bit chroot follow the steps in the AMD64 HOWTO from the wiki above.
Howto get flash working in 64bit using nspluginwrapper:
First add the debian-multimedia.org repo to your sources.list, as root do
Code: Select all
echo "deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org squeeze main non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org lenny main non-free
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org squeeze main non-free
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main non-free
You can also use one of the mirrors: http://debian-multimedia.org/debian-m.php
Note: Make sure you have 'contrib' in your Debian line it should be something like:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
This is needed in order to be able to install nspluginwrapper.
Download the gpg key for apt
Code: Select all
wget http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/d/debian-multimedia-keyring/debian-multimedia-keyring_2008.10.16_all.deb
Code: Select all
dpkg -i debian-multimedia-keyring_2008.10.16_all.deb
Code: Select all
aptitude update
Code: Select all
aptitude install ia32-libs ia32-libs-libnss3 ia32-libs-libcurl3 libcurl3 nspluginwrapper

Restart any browsers you had open and you are good to go.
