Adobe has release a developer preview of 64 bit Flash Player for Linux, here’s how I installed it on my 64 bit Ubuntu 11.04 Beta 2 (yeah am trying the bleeding edge Ubuntu darlin’)
1. Download Adobe Flash Player 10
2. Untar it : tar zxvf flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_linux_111710.tar.gz
3. Copy libflashplugin.so ke firefox plugins directory and make a symlink for addons directory
sudo su
cp libflashplugin.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
(note if you use firefox4: cp libflashplugin.so /usr/lib/firefox-4.0/plugins)
cd /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins
ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so libflashplayer.so
(note if you use firefox4: ln -s /usr/lib/firefox-4.0/plugins/libflashplayer.so libflashplayer.so)
4. Restart Firefox

First off I get this error when trying to copy the file to the directory.
“Error while moving “libflashplayer.so”.
There was an error moving the file into /usr/lib/firefox-4.0/plugins.
Show more details
Error moving file: Permission denied”
Note I am an novice user at worst so dumb it down for me.
I’m using the new LTS release, I got it today April 28.
This directory is wrong.
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins
It’s really;
/usr/lib/firefox-4.0/plugins
Please tell how to make this work.
You got this error because you tried to move a file with normal user permission, just type :
and give your user password in the password prompt, after that you can move the file without problem
There’s nothing wrong with the directory, it’s just I used Firefox 3.x and you used the newer version, you’re on the right track there, just use your firefox-4.0 directory (/usr/lib/firefox-4.0/plugins) to move the file to.
