no flashplayer on 64-bit OS
I recently installed the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 8.10.
No Flash-player yet. I tried the Adobe Flash Player: n0jn@bsw:~/2$ ls -l -r-xr-xr-x 1 n0jn n0jn 21701 2008-11-19 07:53 flashplayer-installer -rwxr-xr-x 1 n0jn n0jn 10022452 2008-11-19 07:53 libflashplayer.so n0jn@bsw:~/2$ sudo ./flashplayer-installer ERROR: Your architecture, 'x86_64', is not supported by the Adobe Flash Player installer. n0jn@bsw:~/2$ ------------------------------------ Adobe says: TechNote Flash Player support on 64-bit operating systems Issue Adobe Flash Player is not supported for playback in a 64-bit browser. However, you can run Flash Player in a 32-bit browser running on a 64-bit operating system. Reason Adobe is working on Flash Player support for 64-bit platforms. We expect to provide native support for 64-bit platforms in an upcoming release of Flash Player following Flash Player 10. Solution To use Flash Player to view Flash content on a 64-bit operating system, you must run a 32-bit browser.

The IcedTea (Java) browser plugin also works. So if you want flash player in 64-bit be patient for 9.04 final release. In the meantime you can try the workarounds for installing the 32-bit version, or install 8.10 x86. -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

You need to do:
1) # sudo curl http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz | tar -C /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ -xzf - This will download and copy the flash player lib to mozilla plugins 2) # sudo mozilla-plugin-config -i This will setup new plugin. At least this works in Fedora 10 x86_64 On Sun, Jan 18, 2009 at 14:12, Ioannis Vranos <ivranos@freemail.gr> wrote: > HermanAA wrote: >> I recently installed the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 8.10. >> No Flash-player yet. > > > I installed 9.04 alpha 3 x64 yesterday, and flash layer exists in > repositories and works.

You can use backported 64bits Flash plugins if you're using either Ubuntu or Kubuntu (if you're using Firefox in Xubuntu with this plugins, it will crash when trying to read flash videos). They are here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/intrepid-backports/+bug/310061 Please report if they work for you ;) Loïc -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

For me, swfdec works fine on AMD64 and has the extra feature to start flash contents on demand only. Good bye to all these distracting ads. MarKus - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dipl. Ing.

I often find the ads on many sites annoying myself, as many web masters ignore good publishing practices, and place more ads than content on their pages, sometimes so many that it can actually be rather difficult to even find the token offerings of mini content blurbs they rely on to lure visitors to their pages. I choose not to block ads, as they can sometimes be a resource that is appreciated, if they pertain to something that I am looking for, and appear on pages I find with similar topics to a search in progress. With my current broadband connection, the additional time required to download a page with ads isn't objectionable to me as it was when I still had only dial-up. When I find one of those "more ads than content" sites, I seldom make the effort to find their content amongst the many ads placed in the middle of the page where the content should be, as well as on nearly every other piece of real estate the page represents. I opt instead to immediately leave their sites, and continue my search for pages that offer content first, and ads second. Unfortunately, this misplacement of ads into the content areas is actually being encouraged in tips sent to me by my web site's ad provider, in success stories from unscrupulous publishers who practice this intrusive technique, so I expect to see more of it in the future. Many of the top search results offered up often use this "technique" as it becomes more prevalent, and the search engines seem to favor their overly commercialized bent. I prefer to keep ads out of the way of my content on my sites, reserving the right margin for them, and use the rest of the page for information related to what the people visiting my site are actually looking for. I also make an effort to review the sites connected to the ads presented on my site, to insure that they aren't the type that are ripping people off, and whenI find one that does, I am able to block their ad from ever appearing on my site again.

Sorry for the very off topic rant, but your recommendation to yet another person to install ad blocking software hit a sensitive nerve. 8-) I shall continue to publish in a responsible manner, and keep the ads to a minimum so people can continue to find what they come looking for.

Sad but true. I started with Adblocking because of flashing ads. Who can read with one's eyes get caught all the time by the flashing? > I choose not to block ads, as they can sometimes be a resource that is > appreciated, if they pertain to something that I am looking for, and > appear on pages I find with similar topics to a search in progress.

I am happy to do the pulling, when I need to buy. Why do I need to subject myself to the advertising psychologists? These people do not have my best interests at heart. IT is not like they just draw up a little ad. No, they pay experts big bucks to find a way into your mind with tools like PET scans to make sure the right bits of your mind are being turned on to make you buy without even knowing that they are the ones that controlled you. This is darkest sort of scientific black art, pure evil. AdBlock plus frees you from this constant attack and is really easy to install. > I prefer to keep ads out of the way of my content on my sites, reserving > the right margin for them, and use the rest of the page for information > related to what the people visiting my site are actually looking for.

That is good of you but in the end the money wins in the majority of sites so I am not going to turn off my ad blocking any time soon. I feel for you needing to make money on your web site but no one likes ads in their faces. A good site that had ads I did not block was distrowatch but then their ads started flashing, now they are gone too. > For my efforts in the past year of advertising on two web sites, even > 'though my server log analyzer claims that 47% of the people who visit > my site, bookmark it, I have earned a measly $12, and tend to blame this > on irresponsible publishers who have driven people to using ad blocking > software, by over populating their sites with ads in an intrusive, > annoying manner. I am sure you are correct. But, I wish I could run adblock plus on my TV and magazines too! If I want to buy something, I will google it! > Sorry for the very off topic rant, but your recommendation to yet > another person to install ad blocking software hit a sensitive nerve. > 8-) I shall continue to publish in a responsible manner, and keep the > ads to a minimum so people can continue to find what they come looking for. > > Thanks for listening, Ray Parrish > In the end ads use up a huge amount of bandwidth that we all have to pay for one way or another. I really don't believe in ads on websites but then I know that people are trying to make a living and these pushy people will not be getting out of my face any time soon. Thank God for AdBlock Plus!!
