Flash on 64-bit Ubuntu

I have 64-bit machines and run Ubuntu Linux on most of them. Since 09.10, my flash suffers from the no click bug mentioned elsewhere. I've done many tutorials, but this is still the quickest most direct way I know to fix it:

Go here and download the item at the bottom:

http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html

or


wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz


Then, go to Command Line (if not already) chdir to the right directory and then:


tar -xzf libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
sudo cp libflashplayer.so /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so


Then, restart your browsers and click happily!
