How to install Adobe Flash player 64 bit on Ubuntu 11.04


Adobe released the first beta version of Adobe Flash Player with support for 64 bit linux based OS. I got this guide on softpedia tutorial and its really helpful guide. It will teach you how to replace the 32-bit version of the flash player with the 64-bit one, on Ubuntu 11.04 AMD64 systems. It will work with other 64-bit Linux distributions and with the Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera web browsers.


Step 1 - Installing the Adobe Flash Player 11 64-bit repository
Hit the CTRL+ALT+T key combination on your keyboard and paste the following command in the terminal window:


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash


Don't close the terminal window yet. Go to the next step!



Step 2 - Install Adobe Flash Player 11 64-bit
With the terminal window opened, paste the following commands, one by one, waiting for the first one to finish before pasting the second one:


sudo apt-get update


sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer


Hit "Y" when asked and close the terminal window when the installation is over. The 32-bit edition of the currently installed Adobe Flash Player plugin will be automatically uninstalled.


Step 3 - Verify the installation of the 64-bit flash player
You should now restart your Firefox, Opera or Google Chrome web browser. When it's opened go to YouTube or any other website with flash content and watch a video clip...
