Now that I have already fixed my problem with my SATA HD in Ubuntu Linux 10.04 Lucid Lynx, I then searched google if there is a 64bit version of the Adobe Flash 10 plugin.

A week ago, when I first installed in my PC an Ubuntu Linux 8.04 Hardy Heron, I found this blog post on how to make flash work in a 64-bit Firefox browser - of course in a 64-bit Ubuntu Linux. I tried it and although I have encountered a minor problem with the script and made a minor modification, but the script work as expected!

I'll finally break my long silence. Last week my Windows XP has crashed and that made me busy trying to revive it hoping it will go back to normal. Unfortunately I failed. Or I guess I never tried hard to fix it.

But, on the other side, it gave me the opportunity to force my self(and my wife and brother-in-law) to learn to be comfortable in using Ubuntu Linux as our primary desktop OS. What I did was, I pulled out my extra IDE harddisk from my spare CPU which I bought for only P500.

I then installed Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) on it planning to make the SATA harddisk which contains the Windows XP as a slave disk so I can can just mount it under the linux OS and retrieve the important documents from it. But this attempt has also failed. Ubuntu 8.04 just can't detect my SATA harddisk.

I've searched the solution over the net and found that I am not the only one having this kind of problem. I've tried some suggestions from different forums but I still haven't got it working.
