Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
On amd64 Karmic, flashplugin-installer should not be installing the i386
build of Flash 10 *and* the amd64 alpha. This works about one out of
ten tries, confuses everything, and grinds Firefox to a standstill for
about thirty seconds on a 3GHz Wolfdale while it's trying to load
ia32-libs-- at least, I assume that's what's happening.
That, or this is some crazy bug in nspluginwrapper, but I don't know
enough about either package to tell. If this has anything to do with me
using Fox 3.5.5pre from the nightly builds team, I don't know about
that, either.
FWIW, Opera 10.10 (pre, of course) can't find Flash of *any* version and
tends to spit up on every page-- not that Flash amd64 and Opera amd64
play well together anyhow. I ended up having to resolve this by pulling
down the amd64 alpha manually from Adobe (I notice there's no download
in the partner repo, where flashplugin-installer's getting its binary
from) and chucking it into /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins.
Flash on Linux is horrifying enough without having to troubleshoot this
kind of junk, too.
