I suggest using apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree in order to install the flash player. For Squeeze you might need a version from squeeze- backports. But in case you did use something else to install the flash player get rid of that first. For some stuff gnash or lightspark might be okay, last weeks I test again with them and too much stuff still was not working nicely. So take care that your flashplugin-nonfree is selected: merkaba:~> LANG=C update-alternatives --display flash-mozilla.so flash-mozilla.so - auto mode link currently points to /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so - priority 50 /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so - priority 10 /usr/lib/lightspark/liblightsparkplugin.so - priority 0 Current 'best' version is '/usr/lib/flashplugin- nonfree/libflashplayer.so'. flashplugin-nonfree is the Debian way to install Adobe Flash.
