64-bit Linux support for Flash Player

linux.sys-con.com — From what I’ve heard it works fairly well on most distros but I haven’t heard yet how well it works with the new Flash Player 10 beta. Despite this potential workaround eventually Adobe does need to natively support 64-bit Linux - and they will.

Who dugg this?

  • neko, on 05/28/2008, -0/+3I'm using the flashplayer-nonfree package on 64-bit Debian, which I believe is using this method - running the 32-bit flash binary using the lib32 stuff. But it's still pretty crappy - after a day or so of using my browser, flash elements just stop loading, and display a white rectangle. It doesn't work properly again until I restart firefox.

    And it still pisses me off with keyboard / mouse focus issues and grabbing audio.

    A polite comment on the issue probably wouldn't hurt either.
