Maybe it's possible to somehow extract flash plugin from chrome (AFAIK it's compiled without SSE2)? Having to use 10.3 for 1.5 years and without any signs adobe will fix this issue soon is a critical security issue!

Youtube and all flash sites shows a black box instead of the player. It works fine on Google Chrome. i'm reinstall this package and nothing happend. im using Ubuntu lucid 10.04.3 Adobe-flashplugin 11.2.202.228-0lucid1 adobe-flash-properties-gtk works fine. This package is not stable. - This is apparently caused by the use of SSE2 instructions in new versions of adobe flash binaries, but only on older CPU's not implementing SSE2. There is an upstream bug reported for this: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3161034 Note that this code is binary only outside of Adobe. Where lernid, and apparently epiphany-browser use webkit they don't catch SIGILL. Both crash and close with the message "Illegal Instruction" sent to the console.
