Flash Stoped Working in 8.04.

[NobleSavage]

I'm still using the last LTS 8.04. Getting ready to upgrade to the newest version

Flash was working perfect until one of the last software updates. Now all I get is "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed."

I tried running:

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer and got the following message"


Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package flashplugin-installer


If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated. I'd really like to get Flash working again before I build a new box and upgrade to 10.04.

Thanks

Type about:config in Firefox address bar, then type plugin.expose_full_path in the filter, then double-click the same item in the results to make it true. Then type about:plugins in the address bar, find Shockwave Flash, copy the corresponding Path and Version and paste here.
