    Since the patches by Ted T'so that will be included only in the "official" kernel 2.6.30 are already added in Jaunty I don't consider this as a big problem anymore.

    I use x64 Flash 10 downloaded from Adobe site, the one in repos is x32 which needs nsplugin wrapper. In case you wish to use x64 remove previous Flash x32 and nsplugin.

    Download Flashx64, untar it, sudo mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

    Then do a sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/
    sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins

    Just to ask why the soft links mentioned above are necessary. Flash seems to
    be working fine by just copying the libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.

    The soft links are necessary for other programs needing access to Flash, xulrunner for instance. Also if you install other browsers, the soft links make it easier. For standalone browser use, the copy to /usr/lib/mozila/plugins works fine.

    Yes, you are a star. It works well in Opera. Should I uninstall the
    mplayer mozilla plugin ?

    Yes if you plan to use Opera, keep the vlc and remove mplayer.
