64-bit
Install Script for Adobe Flash 64-bit on Ubuntu
Submitted by Chadarius on Fri, 2009-02-06 11:40.I've been messing around with some new hardware to replace my old "BubbaTV" MythTV box. It still requires a ton of tweaking to get everything to work right. One of the things that I have noticed (besides the fact that Adobe's Flash program seems to be getting buggier and less stable over time) is that there is a new beta 64-bit Flash client available. Because the existing one barely works on my new quad core AMD MythTV box (sadly, its slower than Flash on some of my Linux PC's that are 5 years old) I decided to install it.
I had already found a script that installs Flash 10 32-bit directly from the Adobe website and had edited it to install the 64-bit version. Then I realized that Alejandro Quervo had pretty much already done the exact same thing first. So I'll give him all the credit :).
The sad thing is that 64-bit Flash seems to run about as crappy as the 32-bit Flash did before. Maybe I'll look into upgrading to the latest Nvidia drivers and see if that fixes things.
Thanks to Alejandro I also just read that Sun Java has a 64-bit Firefox plugin now too! I'm install that right away in my build as well!
