I had this same problem and none of the above helped. I wound up running "update-manager -d" (without the quotes) in the command box. Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release '9.xx' is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions
This made the initial flash problem go away and then I ran the following in the the terminal and all is good now. ~$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer -- [Karmic] Removing Flash Plugin causes annoying package managing problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/412944 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
