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. – 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.
