Here's what you need to do: by default, Ubuntu comes with only open source software enabled (I think that's the case, anyway). If it's still not working, try a reboot (there might be some bogus reference to the old plugins somewhere). A restart of your browser(s) is required though. Now you will have full 64 bit Flash without any wrappers and other garbage in both Firefox and Chromium. One extra package, 'adobe-flash-properties-gtk' will be installed automatically. Try quiting and restarting Synapic, then click on 'Reload'. If it's not in the list, something went wrong with updating the package lists.

Install the package 'adobe-flashplugin'.Update the package list (don't count on Software Center doing this for you, it sometimes doesn't) by clicking 'Reload' in.

Enable the Canonical partner repository (see above posts on how to do that).In that case, just move on to the next step. If there's nothing listed you probably don't have Flash installed at all. Remove all flash-related packages (such as flashplugin-downloader:i386, flashplugin-installer, ndiswrapper-common etc.).Install Synaptic (Software Center doesn't show the package you need, not in the main items and not within the technical items and not even after it's been installed).Furthermore, it could be that just executing steps 5, 6 and 8 is enough, but I have not tested this yet. Note: most of this can be done in a terminal as well, in that case you don't need to install Synaptic. If you follow the solutions mentioned above you will still end up with the 32 bit version and wrappers. I fixed 64 bit Flash on my 11.10 systems without any wrappers. In the interim - either use the first 'Multiverse' 32bit plugin in the pictures above or use adobe-flashplugin sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

Note - pictures subject to change - the 64bit version has only been recently packaged in the last week before Oneiric release - One issue currently exists: Right click and confirm that the latest version of Flash has been installed correctly. Once complete - launch Firefox and browse to your Flash Video. Note - you must have permission to install software. See the end of this answer for the bug-reportĬlick the Install button and enter your password when prompted.

and click Use this source to enable the Canonical Partner Repository Select the second flash entry - if the following picture is seen then you have not already enabled the Canonical Partner Repository previously. The first is the wrapper around the 32bit flash version from Adobe. Start Software Center from the Launcher and search for flash
