Linux Ubuntu 10.04+Hulu+Flash Player 10.0.45.2=FAIL

[tad1073]

Error mesage from Hulu:

"We're sorry but we are unable to stream to your system. This may be due to an Adobe software limitation on 64-bit linux systems."

What ever the problem is, it needs to be fixed, or a later version needs to be available.

I feel your pain.

I have Ubuntu 10 64 Bit and I'm still learning it.

Like when I started using Mac eight years ago, people told me, "It's your choice to use that OS, knowing its limitations as far as software goes."

It's gotten easier with OS X over the years, but Linux is still largely a "user choice", along with the limited availability of software.

I hope that as I learn my way around in it, more stuff becomes available, because I like Linux (SuSE especially) a lot more than Windoze, and almost as much as OS X.

The Ubuntu community has been really good about developing the stuff major software manufacturers don't, can't or just plain won't though.

To get flash working in Ubuntu 10.04 Go to System>Help and support search for flash and their will be a download link for x64bit Linux Flash

Install it and then reload your web browser, worked for me on 64bit 10.04, Just checked Hulu and I am indead able to watch hulu. Best of luck.

Applications->Ubuntu Software Center

After loading in the main page, type "adobe" in the search bar at the top right.

Once the search results populate, look for "Adobe Flash Plugin". It should be the second one on the list.

Install it.

After it's installed, restart FireFox.

Done, Hulu, Facebook games, and other flash things should work. (Works on 32 and 64 bit Ubuntu 10.04)

You just need to install the 64 bit version from the PPA by executing the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer
