Flash fix for 64-bit Linux (Ubuntu focus) - arcofile - 12-09-2009

Many people using 64-bit Linux with compiz enabled have complained about problems clicking "play" or whatever.

Finally, Adobe have offered a new version that sorts out the problems for me at least and makes Flash and compiz 100% functional together.

There are instructions here at: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/adobe-flash-player-10-for-64-bit-linux-released-and-ubuntu-installation-instructions.html

But, I notice that Ubuntu have got the new version in their repos already (after one day following release), so it should install if you use Update Manger (in System-->Administration).

It's nice for me particularly as, ever since I got my new 64-bit computer, I've had no problems with any programs save for Flash (when using compiz). I love compiz so didn't want to give it up. This update fixes it all. Thumbsup
