Firefox 64 bit Java, ICA und Flash Plugins using (K)Ubuntu 7.10
My new hardware is more easy to get running, than the need for more experience of 64 bit versions of the Ubuntu universe. In the amd64 Version Firefox is a 64 bit application, also video and audio via Mplayer-Plugin are 64 bit an running perfect. For my needs Java, Citrx ICA and Flash are missing. So let’s go…
Flash
You can use either Adept Manager or apt-get to install the flashplugin-nonfree package which contains Adobe Flash Player plugin installer. If you restart Firefox you are done. Give YouTube a try, do not forget tune up the volume 
that’s it.
apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
Citrix ICA
Download the Linux ICA Client on http://www.citrix.com/English/SS/downloads/ they offer .rpm and .tar.gz which I prefer. You have to install motif libraries before:
apt-get install libxaw6 libmotif3
mkdir /tmp/ica
cd /tmp/ica
tar -xzf /your/path/to/de.linuxx86.tar.gz
sudo ./setupwfc
starts the installation procedure. Now adjust the 32 bit plugin with
nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so
to be used in Firefox 64 bit version. The link
Bug 4802695 was recently updated. The 64 bit Java plugin should be available in an upcoming Java 6 update release.
