Flash 64-bit on Ubuntu Intrepid

Download and install Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64 (or x86_64):
Ubuntu download screen

Download 64-bit flash from here.
Adobe Labs Logo

If you have flashplugin-nonfree installed, now is a good time to remove it as we will be using the labs version:

~$ sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree

This leaves behind some junk. To remove them:

cd /usr/lib
sudo find . -name "npwrapper.libflashplayer.so" | xargs rm

And now install the plugin:

cp path_to_so_file_you_extracted.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins

Start firefox and have fun. Pandora.com no longer crashes:

And Hulu.com is working awesome:

ECS GF8200A under Ubuntu Intrepid

Bought a new motherboard, everything works out of the box so far except for sound.

For sound I had to:


echo "options snd-hda-intel model=auto probe_mask=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/options
modprobe snd-hda-intel

Then everything was good. Taken from this thread.
