Running Linux Mint Qiana Ver 17 and the repsitories do not have either
SeaMonkey or Adobe Flash listed in the search. So they have both been
loaded and installed per instructions to no avail. Moving the
libflashplayer.so to where it should be and other places which seemed
like likely possibilities provided no solution to the problem Perhaps I
should go back to Mint 13 where it everything worked.
As I said - I don't really need flash video anyhow.
