PLUGIN
FLASH ON AMD64:
by
Francesco Palmisano
Some
web site need flash plugin to be visualized correctly. Unfortunatly at
the moment there isn't a official support for 64 bit Linux distro.
For this reason we need to "wrap" the 32bit plugin and use it in 64 bit
distro.
Let's go:
1)Download the flash player 9 (or above) from Adobe web site here.
2)Install, with your package manager (synapitc for example):
nspluginwrapper
IMPORTANT: At this point, close all your open browser.
Go
into the folder where you downloaded the flash player and uncompress
it:
it will be created a folder call "install_flash_player_9_linux", form
here copy the
file /"libflashplayer.so/" e /"flashplayer.xpt/" into the plugin folder
of your browser:
for mozilla:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
for firefox: /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
for iceweasel: /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins
from this folder give the comand:
nspluginwrapper -i
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
if everything is gone well you see no messages on prompt line.
In your home page into .mozilla/plugins folder you can find npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
file; copy it into:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
(for Epiphany)
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/
(forr Firefox)
For a new upgrade, just download it, uncompress it and give the command:
nspluginwrapper -v -a -i
