Thanks, I have performed all steps and it seemed everything went well, but still I have not get sound. There is only video, no sound!
Any idea what can be problem. I just mention that there is sound in my machine when I play VLC so it is not hardware problem.
Thanks

Thanks for that – I'll see what works when another version comes out.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can just replace it. If that doesn't work, then remove the nspluginwrappers for the old version (using sudo nspluginwrapper -r for all instances of it listed with nspluginwrapper -l), replace the libflashplayer.so file, then run sudo nspluginwrapper -i and you should be fine

Thanks for the article – I now have the Flash Player 10 Release Candidate (version 10.0.12.10) installed fine. Just a question, when a newer version of the player comes out, would I be able to just replace the libflashplayer.so file? Or would I have to go through the whole process?

[...] give it a try. A few days ago, I had manually installed Flash Player 10 using nspluginwrapper, and wrote a guide about it. I received a suggestion that you can also use an Intrepid Ibex package to install Flash Player 10 [...]

I haven't had any issues with Flash 10 yet. I opened up a bunch of video sites – veoh, hulu, youtube, iplayer, and they were all running at the same time fine. Used a fair bit of CPU usage though.

I'm also using the latest Minefield nightly, I don't know if that helps or hinders stability in this case.

In my experience flash 10 makes the whole firefox unusable on Ubuntu 8.10 (AMD64) – it crashes firefox as soon as you open several pages that use flash.
And therefore the whole Ubuntu 8.10 is simply unusable for normal users (it is still good for revolutionaries, lunatics and wierdos, though).

I am not sure whether it is 64 bit related.
If only Firefox had each tab running as a separate process….It would make ubuntu 8.10 almost usable

I think it looks more complicated than it is. There are only essentially 4 steps, and I've expanded them to be as thorough as possible so people can follow it step by step, rather than just saying 'extract the required libraries' or something like that.

I agree it's a pretty long process considering the result though. Adobe need to make a native 64-bit version of Flash Player 10, then none of this would be needed
