If you want to have Affinity, however, there's no debian package under AMD64.<br /><br />Follow the instructions <a href="http://www.janvitus.netsons.org/repository/">here</a> to add to your sources.list. English is below the Italian.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5922479633556415975-3744471861612743368?l=cutting-edgy-amd64.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gavinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18282127628146603264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922479633556415975.post-46577861582194540202007-05-04T15:51:00.000-07:002007-05-04T16:17:43.732-07:00Since the readers of this blog are all AMD64 users (in general), I would like to mention how I got flash to work under AMD64. It's not that hard, but it seems that sometimes the instructions are confusing or hard to find. This is going to be pretty much a blatant copy of what was on the <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341727&highlight=nspluginwrapper">Ubuntu Forums post here.</a><br /><br />Ok. We need some basic 32-bit libraries available from the Ubuntu repositories. In a terminal:<br /><br /><code>sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk linux32 lib32asound2</code><br /><br />Now, if <a href="http://www.janvitus.netsons.org/repository/">Janvitus' Repository</a> isn't changed since I write this, type in this:<br /><br /><code>wget http://janvitus.interfree.it/ubuntu/2C4C84CC.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -<br /></code><br />Now type in:<br /><br /><code>sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list</code><br /><br />And in the text editor that opens up add on the bottom:<br /><br /><code>deb http://janvitus.interfree.it/ubuntu/ feisty-janvitus main-amd64<br />deb-src http://janvitus.interfree.it/ubuntu/ feisty-janvitus main-amd64</code><br /><br />Save the file, close it and then type into terminal:<br /><br /><code>sudo apt-get update</code><br /><br />Then:<br /><br /><code>sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper gsfonts-x11</code><br /><br />After everything is installed, download adobe flash player 9 from this website: <a href="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz">http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz</a><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Now CLOSE ALL OPEN BROWSERS.<br /><br /></span>Double-click on the downloaded flash player archive and extract it somewhere. Then open up the extracted folder and: <blockquote>move the 2 files “libflashplayer.so” and “flashplayer.xpt” from that folder into the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder (quote from article)<br /></blockquote>Now I had problems about permissions when moving, and had to run a command in order to do it:<br /><br /><code>sudo mv [and now drag both files into the terminal window, then type this>>] /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/</code><br /><br />So it should look something like this:<br /><br /><code>gavin@gavin-desktop:~$ sudo mv '/home/gavin/Desktop/install_flash_player_9_linux/libflashplayer.so' '/home/gavin/Desktop/install_flash_player_9_linux/flashplayer.xpt' /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/</code><br /><br />Of course your username would be replaced with mine. After that is typed in, hit enter.<br /><br />Now, finally, we are almost done. Type in:<br /><br /><code>nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so</code><br /><br />You shouldn't receive any error messages if you've done the right things.<br /><br />Now open up your Home folder and choose in the view menu > Show hidden files. In the folder .mozilla/plugins/ you should see the file “npwrapper.libflashplayer.so”, created from the previous command.<br /><br />Copy it into the folder /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ and copy it into the folder /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/<br /><br />Now try it out by going to <a href="http://www.youtube.com">Youtube</a> or a flash-based website. If youtube doesn't work, try closing the browser and reopening it, it might work the second time.<br /><br />If something goes wrong, visit the forum post and if you fix it comment on this blog so I can edit my post. Thanks! Good luck.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5922479633556415975-4657786158219454020?l=cutting-edgy-amd64.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gavinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18282127628146603264noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922479633556415975.post-63446459400166352612007-04-09T14:14:00.000-07:002007-04-22T16:37:26.734-07:00Thanks to a message from <a class="bigusername" href="http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=143403">jms1989</a> on Ubuntu forums, I am now using <a href="http://www.uploadingit.com">UploadingIT.com</a> which is MUCH better.
