Introduction

Since the release of Hardy Heron it is possible to use the 64-bit browser, [[UbuntuHelp:[flash|Flash]]], [[UbuntuHelp:[java|Java]]], and MPlayer plugins from the Ubuntu repositories. If you need support for more plugins and would like to install a 32-bit version of Firefox to accomplish that, then see the section [[UbuntuHelp:[32-bit|below]]]. A 64-bit version from Adobe is under development, and the latest release can be downloaded from Adobe labs. As of end of 2009, it is still in alpha testing stage, but is actually very stable for the common needs, as long as you don't need to use microphone or webcam with it. So it is the less painful way as you can install the 64-bit flash plugin as you do in the old-style way in 32bits environments for the flash 32-bit plugin. <<Anchor(flash)>>

64-bit Firefox and 64-bit Flash plugin (Not officially supported by Ubuntu)

IconsPage?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=info.png Use script provided and maintained in this forum thread. The script automates the steps listed below.

  • Or use the following manual procedure:

'

  1. Remove currently installed versions of Flash.
 sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree flashplugin-installer gnash gnash-common mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla
 
  1. Visit [1] to update the filename given under if necessary.
  2. Download the 64-bit Flash plugin and extract it:
 wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz && tar xvfz libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
 
  1. Put the file in /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer64.so for a site-wide install (or in ~/.mozilla/plugins for a single-user install):
 sudo mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer64.so
 

Versions of ubuntu with the flashplugin-installer use the alternatives system to manage links for flash plugins in multiple locations (use locate flashplugin-alternative.so to see them all). Ubuntu Karmic (9.10) firefox-3.5.7 uses the link in /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins, but other versions of firefox may use /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins or one of the others. Each plugins folder has a corresponding group name such as xulrunner-addons-flashplugin or mozilla-flashplugin. If you do not have flashplugin-installer installed, just ignore this and instead run:

 sudo mkdir /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer
 

The alternatives system also manages links for iceape, icewasel and midbrowser in Ubuntu Karmic. Each alternative has a priority, if you installed the 32bit flash it will have the default priority of 50. The alternative of the highest priority will be chosen automatically for each group.

  1. Install the link (60 is the priority, you can use any value 0-100)
 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so xulrunner-addons-flashplugin /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer64.so 60
 
  1. Note that for Lucid, the command is:
 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so xulrunner-addons-flashplugin /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer64.so 60
 

The syntax is update-alternatives --install <location where programs will use the link> <group_name> <real file with full path> <priority>.

  1. To configure which alternative is active use:
 sudo update-alternatives --config xulrunner-addons-flashplugin
 

At this stage, you should restart Firefox and verify that the plugin is installed by selecting Tools/Add-ons in the menu. You can check validity of you installation as well as installed version at Adobe - About Flash Player '

  • Uninstallation instructions:
 sudo update-alternatives --remove xulrunner-addons-flashplugin /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer64.so
 sudo rm /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer64.so
 

Repeat the update-alternatives for any other plugin locations you added.

  • Alternative Installation Solution

If the above installation solution did not work for you, there is another solution, requiring the use of WINE.

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs lib32asound2
   

This will download the necessary 32-bit binaries for WINE.

  2. In terminal enter:
cd ~/Desktop
sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i wine_*_i386.deb
   
  1. Download the Mozilla Firefox exe from http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.0.9&os=win&lang=en-US. Save the file to your desktop.
  2. In terminal enter:
cd ~/Desktop
wine firefox*
   
  1. Install Firefox normally by following the installer with default settings.
  2. Download Plugins
    1. Open the new link to Firefox that has appeared on your desktop.
    2. Navigate to a website that uses the plugins required (e.g http://youtube.com/ for Flash).
    3. Click the button labled "Install Missing Plugins" in the bar at the top of the page, and install the plugin(s) from the menu shown.
    4. Test by trying to view a page for that plugin.

    /!\ NOTE: If you cannot hear any sound with the plugins, open terminal and type "winecfg" and select sound preferences in the audio tab.
