try doing an uninstall from the command line with the "--purge" option - this will delete every trace of previous installations from your machine. Then try to install from the adobe website. My guess (just a guess) is that:
- you installed the version from the repos - this version just tries to download a "real" installer from the adobe site - the download or install from adobe fails in some way - but the repos wrapper doesn't catch this - so, as far as your system knows, flash is installed (the wrapper package is installed), but it's not really installed (since the real installer never ran correctly) hence a situation where dpkg/apt/synaptic/etc tell you that flash is installed, but it isn't... I think it only supports firefox, although you might try installing the opera browser (worth a shot) /t On Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 5:15 PM, BehaviorKelton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have gone to the Adobe site and installed that same version with > the .deb, but it goes through the motions of installation w/o showing > up in firefox. > > In fact, I get a notice that it is already installed (because I have > done this a million times), and so I click on "reinstall".
