If you have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras(which includes Java) and it does not work there must be a setting in your web browser to enable Java.

I have found that to get some java to work, I have to remove the icedtea packages. A java-based chat that won't work before I remove will work once I remove those (or that... can't remember if it is just one pkg or more than one....)

But when I go to http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/, it shows "You have version 10,0,20,7 installed"

Just released :D

"I guess you've heard the good news, that Adobe released yesterday (November 17th, 2008) the first 64-bit version of its Flash Player for Linux-based operating systems.

Until yesterday, 64-bit Linux users had to install the 32-bit version of the Flash Player, which was forced to work with the help of the NSPlugin wrapper package. Moreover, the "grey box" issue in Firefox 64-bit for the Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64 (Intrepid Ibex) operating system is a known and unresolved problem, as is also the fact that users had to reload the web pages to see the flash content, or even to restart Firefox. The following guide is here to teach you how to replace the 32-bit version of the flash player with the 64-bit one, on Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64. It will work with other 64-bit Linux distributions.

OK, so let us get down to business, and replace that ugly 32-bit flash player installation from your Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64 edition with the just released 64-bit version. :lol:


Remove all existing Adobe Flash Player installations from the system.
Unpack the file. A directory which contains libflashplayer.so will be created.
Copy libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins. Create the 'plugins' folder if it does not exist yet.
Launch your browser. To verify installation in Firefox choose Help > About Plug-ins from the browser menu.



not having issues with flash just java dose not work for me at all ~

Firefox3 > Tools > Add-ons > Plugins. ;)
