In 32bit Kubuntu, I just goto Add/Remove Programs and select either Macromedia Flash Plugin or Ubuntu restricted extras, not sure if they are there in 64bit though.

Gavin,

Same problem here. AMD dual core 4600, NVIDIA 7900GT, 2G SDRAM. Flash works flawlessly for me in Sabayon, PCLos, Puppylinux, and SuSe 10.3 out of the box. Why not Kubuntu?

Well thats fairly pathetic. Back to Sabayon for me where EVERYTHING works including amd64 flash out of the box. Nice try though Kubuntu folks. You'll get there some day. 8)

Any progress on this one yet? I see the last post in this thread was nearly two months ago, but I still don't see an OOB install solution for Flash on AMD64.

There's NO 64bit flash out, not even for Windows. To get flash to work, you must use either a plugin wrapper, or a 32 browser with 32 bit flash. Flash works here fine for me on 64bit, depending on which you'd rather, I can point you to the right direction.

Here is a script installer for the nspluginwrapper, which is the only solution that I know of:

Hi,

Until yesterday I used dapper 6.04 64-bit with an Intel D935 processor. In the repository was a special mozilla-flash package for 64-bit platform.
But I must warn you for unexpected effects with many websites. For example:

I visited www.asus.com. When the desired page was loaded, my wireless keyboard was disconnected and it refused to be reconnected until I switched to another desktop. But when I returned to the previous desktop the keyboard disconnected again. Weird...
On another webpage the graphical content started blinking like a traffic light.

So, if you might experience unexplainable effects with your browser, blame it on 64-bit Flash!

Hi, guys!
We still don't have flash for 64 bits platforms, although there is a list in the web to sign a petition to Macromedia or whatever to do so.
(http://www.PetitionOnline.com/lin64swf/)
However, in Kubuntu 64 I found out a couple of "flash animation viewers" in the Adept list and now the animations in SWF are working, apparently. Check this: Gnash SWF viewer for KDE (multimedia cathegory). It worked for me, as well as the gnome version.
Good luck!
