Flash 10 RC2 for Ubuntu Hardy
Markus Thielmann — Tue, 2008-09-16
Adobe updated the Linux Flash 10 Beta to RC2 (aka 10.0.10.12).
Have a look at the new features and the list of fixed bugs of this release.
I updated my Personal Package Archive (PPA) accordingly. If you already added my PPA to your sources list, you'll get the updated flashplugin-nonfreebeta within the next upgrade.
It seems the problems with some video services are gone, but you're still unable to get fullscreen mode on your second monitor.
Since I'm unable to test the AMD64 package, please consider it not existent. If you're still willing to give it a try, please report any errors you might encounter. It seems that the i386 package works quite well.
Works on 64bit here

surely this affects 32bit the same?
That's right. If your
Markus Thielmann — Wed, 2008-09-17That's right. If your soundcard doesn't support hardware mixing, you'll need libflashsupport to solve that problem. Unfortunately, Flash still crashes with libflashsupport installed. Because of this, flashplayer-nonfreebeta conflicts with libflashsupport, so you can't install both.
This is only the case in
Daniel T Chen (not verified) — Wed, 2008-09-17This is only the case in 8.04. In 8.10, you can simply use `asoundconf set-pulseaudio' and restart your web browser.
(The real culprits are alsa-lib and alsa-plugins. For both, you need at least version 1.0.16, which is not in 8.04. There are further fixes in Lennart's alsa-plugins git tree.)

Damien (not verified) — Sat, 2008-09-20I removed the files in /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfreebeta and did aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfreebeta so it downloaded the .tar.gz, got the 32bit libs but it didn't appear to actually install the plugin after that?

Thanks for the package! For
Anonymous (not verified) — Mon, 2008-09-22Thanks for the package! For some strange reason, though, I was missing a number of symlinks necessary to satisfy the following dependencies:
libnss3.so => /usr/lib/libnss3.so (0xb6ad1000)
libsmime3.so => /usr/lib/libsmime3.so (0xb6aad000)
libssl3.so => /usr/lib/libssl3.so (0xb6af4000)
Of course, the above is after creating the links to the ".so.1d" versions. What the heck is that (the .0d/.1d naming scheme on those libs) about?
