flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
Or build it:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/9.0.115.0ubuntu2

Tweaking

Avoid at startup (only for 64bit):

Loading, pease wait...
kinit: name_to_dev_t...
kinit: trying to resume from ...
kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot...

1. Optain the UUID of your swap partition
   cat /etc/fstab | grep swap
2. place the UUID in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume after resume=
3. sudo update-initramfs -u or sudo update-initramfs -u -k `uname -r`

Upgrade Ubuntu Feisty to Gutsy, problem SWAP

My swap file was disabled after updrade, solution:

get UUID of the swap partition ex:

sudo vol_id /dev/sda2

output:

D_FS_USAGE=other
ID_FS_TYPE=swap
ID_FS_VERSION=2
ID_FS_UUID=15d63259-800b-4c5d-b459-480013793ec5
ID_FS_UUID_ENC=15d63259-800b-4c5d-b459-480013793ec5
ID_FS_LABEL=
ID_FS_LABEL_ENC=
ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE=


update the line :
UUID=15d63259-800b-4c5d-b459-480013793ec5 none swap sw 0 0
in /etc/fstab
with the correct value for UUID.

speed up Eclipse under linux

1. use official java VM
2. add/modify params in eclipse.ini:
-Xms1024m
-Xmx1024m
-XX:PermSize=256m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m

NOTE: settings for 2048MB of RAM.
Adapt this to your amount of ram: http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t61618.html
