The urls (i.e. http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner), should be preceded by the word “deb”

that’s the only way it would work when I modified my file on 9.10

So it should read:

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner

I found that I could not watch Youtube without stuttering on my netbook with v10 of Flash. I downloaded v10.1 RC6 from Adobe.com and wanted to install the plugin into Chromium. I found that you don’t have to uninstall the old version of Flash first, but you can simply install the libflashplayer.so, after untaring the archive, into the /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin folder and it should work for both chromium and firefox. Now I can watch Youtube without any stuttering!

It might actually be useful for ubuntu users IF it had video hardware acceleration for linux.

Screw flash. Come on HTML5.

@Aaron, you can get a 64bit Linux “pre-release” version of flash here:

http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html

Install is similar, it will contain a .so that you would put in ~/.mozilla/plugins after removing the Ubuntu installed version.

Note this is a 10.0 pre-release and NOT a 10.1 version.

It has worked well for me.

This is a somewhat more extensive way to install than when I tried the other day when it first appeared as available to try. That time I installed it following the given instructions but found that my browser (Shiretoko) was crashing whilst watching flash videos on BBC: Iplayer and CH4′s: 4OD. The controls in window were strangely distorted, button fonts too small to recognise except through instinct of previous builds, video was hard to start frequently with only audio playing.

@no it doesn’t work on 64-bit systems

Will this work with 64bit systems? Or are we still stuck with the flash 10.0.32 alpha from adobe labs?
