I tried to do this: Using Method 1, but a little quicker technique. Execute fr Terminal:

sudo echo “export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1? >> /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer

Method 1 works on 10.04/amd64 (64-bit), with “flashplugin-nonfree” fr Synaptic Package Manager already installed.

But I get message that I dont have permission to do that:(

Used method 1. Running Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit. Using 32-bit flash with Chromium. Worked great! This has been bugging me for so long. Thanks a ton!

I tried method 1, and it did not work. I wanna try method 2, but I am afraid it will break my system. What exactly is the risk of method 2. To me it just looks like it removes a buncha plugins downloads flash player, and makes some symbolic links. Yet I am kind of a beginner so I am not sure and dont wanna risk anything.

Thanks, method 1 works great! However I also tried method 2 and that ended up making Firefox crash every time Flash loaded!

this is the contents of my npviewer file after I implemented method 1

#!/bin/sh
TARGET_OS=linux
TARGET_ARCH=i386
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
. /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/noarch/npviewer

method 1 worked great for me!
i’m using Ubuntu 9.10 64 bits

by the way, I didnt try method 2 but I tried downloading the unstable version of flasplayer plugin for linux 64 bits from adobe.com and my browser crashed when I openes gmail or other pages with flash movies… I think method 2 is just the same

I had this working under Wubi install but under standard install there is no i386 directory or npviewer file.

Unistalled Wubi version and fresh installed purely because of this fix.

Fix would be appreciated!
