Gene, Have you tried to purge the files: sudo apt-get purge flashplugin* That should find all versions installed through the repository, and delete the config files as well. Then run: sudo updatedb, and then locate libflashplayer.so, and locate flashplugin Delete all versions found. The version of flashplugin I have installed, is adobe-flashplugin. On 12.04, I had to edit libflashplayer.so, to keep it from crashing, but other than that, It works on all of my computers (10.04, and massively hacked 12.04). If the repositories aren't working for you, the easiest thing is to create the ~/.mozilla/plugins directory. Download the *.tar.gz version of flash, in the appropriate 32/64 bit version, from Adobe's web site, un-tar it, and copy libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins The ~/mozilla/plugins trick works for ALL versions of Linux (or at least all that I've tried...). You could simply copy libflashplayer.so to the plugin directory, without trying to uninstall the other versions, because that version, is supposed to supersede all other versions. -- -Mark Ne M'oubliez ---Family Motto Hope for the best, plan for the worst ---Personal Motto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
