[Bug 554449] Re: adobe-flashplugin is virtual error when installing flash from Adobe site.
Today, as Adobe released Flash 11 (officially 64 bit compatible), I tried to download it from Adobe site, and encountered same problem. By selecting "Linux (64-bit)" and "Ubuntu (apt)", Firefox urged me to use apturl to process the download. Then, popup window said that I need to add new repository "lucid-partner", and after processing repositories, another popup told "adobe-flashplugin is virtual package". I am using Lucid 64bit (10.04 LTS) and already installed beta version of 11 from tarball (so, not urgent). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554449 Title: adobe-flashplugin is virtual error when installing flash from Adobe site.

[Bug 554449] Re: adobe-flashplugin is virtual error when installing flash from Adobe site.
A simple fix for this is to tell Adobe to link to flashplugin-installer instead of adobe-flashplugin Alternatively we could modify the flashplugin-installer package to ship a dummy adobe-flashplugin package that depended on flashplugin- installer. -- adobe-flashplugin is virtual error when installing flash from Adobe site. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554449 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 554449] Re: adobe-flashplugin is virtual error when installing flash from Adobe site.
An addendum: It appears that the plugin used for flash in Firefox is actually controlled by the 'mozilla-flashplugin' alternative, contrary to what I said above. So - if you want to try out the native pre-release 64-bit plugin from Adobe in Firefox without first uninstalling any alternative Flash plugins, then you have to do this: sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin- alternative.so mozilla-flashplugin /var/lib/flashplugin/libflashplayer.so 55 Before this will work you'll need to download the tarball from Adobe labs and unpack the libflashplayer.so file somewhere - I used /var/lib/flashplugin as it seemed sensible. If the file isn't there then the above command will complain. The last argument, 55, makes this option a higher priority alternative so it should then be used automatically. You can do this to inspect or switch the setting: sudo update-alternatives --config mozilla-flashplugin So now my question to Ubuntu developers is: why is the flash plugin for Firefox controlled by the mozilla-flashplugin alternative and not the firefox-flashplugin alternative (or any of the other related alternatives)? Is this documented anywhere or is it just something that needs tidying up and fixing?

[Bug 554449] Re: adobe-flashplugin is virtual error when installing flash from Adobe site.
Hi, The standard solution for this is to enable the 'multiverse' repo and then install flashplugin-installer. This basically does the same as the scripts linked above but in a neater way, and doesn't trample on the 'alternatives' system. To see what Ubuntu thinks it is using as the current Flash plugin: update-alternatives --display firefox-flashplugin To install the above along with various other non-free multimedia stuffs: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras Adobe do have an alpha version of the 64-bit player: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/64bit.html But if you want reliable Flash then the best current solution is to use the 32-bit Flash with npwrapper, which is what the flashplugin-installer currently does for you. I've just tried all the above on a fairly fresh installation of 10.04 RC1, so I hope it all works for you too.

[Bug 554449] Re: adobe-flashplugin is virtual error when installing flash from Adobe site.
Hi All. The error message about the plugin being "virtual" is very misleading, particularly for those trying out Ubuntu in a virtual environment (VirtualBox, VMware, etc). This error is directly related to Adobe not recognising the 64-bit environment, even though they do provide a 64-bit version of the Flash plug-in for Linux. Go figure.
