Exactly what I needed to tweak my existing dapper drake installation. Especially the flash issue is annoying, but gnash is still far from working flawlessly.

Good work! My compliments.

@sunil - try typing
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
or install nvidia-glx package using adept package manager
then edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, find line
driver=”nv”
and change it to:
driver=”nvidia”

restart X server.

As all other people have said, thank you a lot.
Your article decided me to remain with kubuntu 32, even though I bought an intel xeon 5100. I have two non-free programs (matlab and mathematica) and I don’t have your courage to tweak with them until they work.

Again thank you,

Nice article. However, if you are using firefox then yes you are stuck with getting the 32bit firefox for flash, but if like myself you mainly use konqueror for web-browsing and firefox once in a blue moon then there is another alternative. It requires some more effort than setting up firefox but if you prefer to use konqueror then its a solution for flash under x64 konqueror.
