Adobe Releases New 64-Bit Flash Plugin For Linux

Posted by samzenpus on from the flash-in-the-pan dept.

TheDarkener writes "Adobe seems to have made an about face regarding their support for native 64-bit Linux support for Flash today, and released a new preview Flash plugin named 'Square.' This includes a native 64-bit version for Linux, which I have verified works on my Debian Lenny LTSP server by simply copying libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins — with sound (which I was never able to figure out with running the 32-bit version with nspluginwrapper and pulseaudio)."

    There are also Mac OSX and Windows versions. http://www.thinq.co.uk/2010/9/16/adobe-releases-64-bit-flash-player/

  2. But does it work with Hulu? by scharkalvin · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Hulu hasn't worked with x86-64 for some time. Hulu blames flash, and Adobe blames Hulu. Wonder if this new vesion will fix things.
