How install Flash 64 on Debian Squeeze 64 bit?
I have installed the testing version of Debian (and for the moment i have mantain even the 32 bit stable version ).
As usual when i want tried a 64 bit OS flash at 64 bit don't function. (I have had the same problem on Sabayon and on OpenSuse). I have tried to copy the file on: /.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so without success. I have tried to copy the file on: /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/libflashplayer.so without success. There is a way to use flash 64 bit or, as usual, i must use nspluginwrapper with the 32 bit version? |
apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
|
Indeed that is the best method. If it exists in your repo, don't try anything else.

Thanks.
/etc/apt/sources.list .... deb http://mi.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/debian/ squeeze contrib sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade |
Hmmm, I am in the same boat. Just upgraded to Lenny 5.0.3 64 bit. I need flash and something that will work with BBC radio's iPlayer. I have used Realplayer 10 in the past. According to previous post I added
Code:
In the meantime Happy Christmas to all. |

Hello, I did as you suggest, now this is how my sources.list looks like

No,the two links i posted were for your information.
So remove those and add the following to your sources.list: Code:
deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free Install the key with: Code:
aptitude install debian-backports-keyring Install the plugin with: Code:
aptitude -t lenny-backports install flashplugin-nonfree |
If you could also help with realplayer it would be most appreciated
|
the trooper, you are a gentleman and a scholar. That worked a treat. Now if you can give me some hints to get BBC's iPlayer to work on my iceweasel. Is RealPlayer the only way? As it never aesthetically fitted the browser screen as well as other distros even with the 32 bit Lenny.
I would love to find some reading material dedicated to Debian packages and how to work with sources.list |
I think BBC's iplayer uses flash??.
|
Yes, your are correct. BBC iPlayer is working!
Once again, thanks a lot and Happy Christmas! |
Glad to hear it worked.

Hi, just thought I ask. I am noticing when playing flash movies I cannot get a full screen which I could with other distros. Do you think this has more to do with iceweasel or the flash player?
|
I use Iceweasel myself and it seems to work,try the link i used:
