Re: flashplugin-installer

I've nuked the flashplugin-installer (which uses a wrapper around the 32
bit Adobe executable on 64 bit systems) from my Oneiric system, and
replaced it with the 2.2 beta 64 bit version from Adobe via the Firefox
addon: Flash-Aid - http://www.webgapps.org/add-ons/flash-aid

The add-on downloads and compiles it for you (with proper privilege
checking, etc.) and can alert you to any updates available.

As much as I dislike Adobe, given that Flash is still widely used, this
makes it slightly less painful on Ubuntu - better performance (i.e.
playback), and no more pesky npviewer.bin processes gumming up the works.

Hope that helps you (or someone else out there).

Cheers,

Dave
