install Flash plugin on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn AMD64
I just want to watch youtube on my ubuntu linux.
but then I found out it is troublesome on 64bit ubuntu.
Here is the steps I follow on some tutorial online and it works.
First of all, you have to turn on some repository.
double click ./etc/apt/sources.list and turn on two Edgy repository.
And then run this command in terminal to get those 32bit libs
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk linux32 lib32asound2
and then install nspluginwrapper to wrap the 32bit flash plugin.
you can get it by adding repository from here http://www.janvitus.netsons.org/repository/
and then run this command
sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper gsfonts-x11
Next, download Flash player from Adobe here.
untar it, moves the 2 files “libflashplayer.so” and “flashplayer.xpt” from that folder into the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
run the last command
nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
copy the file which we have just generated npwrapper.libflashplayer.so from
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins to /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/
Now you can enjoy youtube on AMD64 bit Ubuntu. ^^
