Flash works on my amd64 Debian Linux

For a couple of months I have been living without the ability to watch Flash movies. It's just that Adobe has not released Flash player for this platform.

By the way, you can sign a petition to request a version of Flash for AMD64 Linux here: http://www.petitiononline.com/lin64swf/petition.html.

Then I have found instructions on how to run the 32bit Flash plugin using nspluginwrapper plugin. The instructions were quite lengthy but it was simplier than I expected. The short summary of what I had to do is:

sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper

Then I had to:

1. extract the downloaded Flash plugin archive.
2. move the 2 extracted files “libflashplayer.so” and “flashplayer.xpt” into the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder
3. and run the following command:

nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

This also created the file /home/myusername/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
4. restart Iceweasel
