Previously, Flash for 64-bit machines was in testing and provided by the sevenmachines/flash PPA (see also What are PPAs and how do I use them?). If you've previously installed this PPA, remove the packages flashplugin64-installer and ``flashplugin64-nonfree and the PPA file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sevenmachines-flash-*.list (* = distro version). Terminal commands:

sudo apt-get purge flashplugin64-installer flashplugin64-nonfree
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sevenmachines-flash-*.list

Then, continue installing the flash plugin as described at How do I install Adobe Flash player?

  • Update: The package name is actually flashplugin64-installer (not *-nonfree). – monotasker Apr 07 '11 at 20:46
  • And what about fullscreen FullHD (1920x1050) video in youtube? Doesn't lag? – Extender May 03 '11 at 13:07
  • @ Extender - I have no idea about that because I use the 32 bit version. :) – Srinivas G May 05 '11 at 17:28
  • @ monotasker - I visited this page > https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/+archive/flash and there, the package name was *flashplugin64-nonfree*. :) – Srinivas G May 05 '11 at 17:30

    Who is this `sevenmachines` in charge of the PPA? An Adobe employee? – Oxwivi Jun 18 '11 at 13:38
  • @Oxwivi I don't think so. – Srinivas G Jul 04 '11 at 18:28
  • Then how is he creating the packages? He'd need the source code, which I believe to be attainable only as an Adobe employee. – Oxwivi Jul 05 '11 at 05:38
  • @Oxwivi It's only an installer - which is open source. All it does is download the binary, closed source libflashplayer.so directly from Adobe and stuffs it in the right place (along with some other gumph - see synaptic for more detail on exactly what the package provides) – Oli Jul 19 '11 at 20:28
  • @Oli, thanks for the info. So it's basically does the same thing as `flashplugin-installer`, but pulls the binary from Adobe instead Canonical repository, right? – Oxwivi Jul 19 '11 at 22:17
  • @Oxwivi AFAIK, the standard `flashplugin-installer` package pulls from Adobe too. I haven't tested but I can't see why it wouldn't. – Oli Jul 19 '11 at 22:20
  • @Oli, see [this answer](http://askubuntu.com/questions/49298/whats-the-difference-between-flashplugin-installer-and-adobe-flashplugin/49312#49312). – Oxwivi Jul 20 '11 at 11:39
  • sevenmachines PPA has been removed. – MountainX Mar 15 '12 at 07:05

Flash was never completly stable to be honest.

You can install flash player by searching "adobe flash plugin" in Ubuntu software center.
