Thank you Adobe! No points for speed of delivery, but full marks for getting there in the end.

Tried the 64 bit version on a few websites like youtube, and so far so good, no random freezes like in the 32 bit version with nspluginwrapper.

Pros: - easy installation, - flash content works every time now (no grey boxes
anymore, which mostly disappeared when reloading the page)
Cons: - slow performance when entering fullscreen view of flash videos (i.e.
youtube) or large flash content like nvidia.com, I think the issue is again,
that hardware acceleration does not work when compiz is enabled as window
manager (same problem on 32bit until the release of 10rc)...
- in general, relatively high cpu load of about 25% at playing youtube videos
in window mode (100% in fullscreen) (tested on a core 2 duo 1.8Ghz + geforce
8600m gt + compiz fusion enabled)

Anyway thanks for finally working on a 64bit version!

I'm not sure what I'm missing here, but I cannot seem to install the 64bit
Linux plugin in the first place ... the download provides a libflashplayer.so
file only and running this throws a segmentation fault.

Here's what I did:
1. I downloaded
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/l...yer-10.0.d20.7.
linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
2. I unpacked it with various ways but since the outcome is always the same:
tar xzvf libflashplayer....so.tar.gz
3. which creates the file libflashplayer.so
4. which when run throws:
./libflashplayer.so
Segmentation fault

My linux is 2.6.27-8-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 6 17:38:14 UTC 2008 x86_64
GNU/Linux
(ubuntu 8.10)

Any ideas welcome.

you just have to copy the libflashplayer.so into the appropriate
mozilla-plugins folder, as described in the online installation instructions.
Then restart firefox and flash content should work.
cheers

Yes, the installations notes say:

[Q]Copy libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins. Create the 'plugins' folder
if it does not exist yet.[/Q]

But I did that and my aboutlugins page still doesn't list Flash. I've
closed Firefox and re-opened it quite a few times now, after going through and
removing every other libflashplayer.so I had previously... Any ideas what could
be wrong?

I noticed that when playing flash video while running other sound/video application in the system will cause both the browser and the application to hang, anyone having the same problem?

flash 10 x86_64 hangs first on popular facebook flashgames and then gives an error:

Error: Error #1502

The 64-bit Flash plugin for Linux crashes the browser upon visiting gomtv.net
or when attempting to view pages with any videos on the site. Disabling the
Flash plugin resolves the problem, though that makes it impossible to view the
videos. When run from a console, output is:

ICEDTEAPLUGIN_DEBUG = (null)
Illegal instruction

It's not the ICEDTEAPLUGIN causing the crash, because it occurs whether it's
enabled or not. Enabling the flash plugin causes the crash. I'm using 64-bit
Firefox on Ubuntu 8.10 with all current updates as of 11/28/08.
