yes, it said just hit enter and it would download it for me. Which is the way it should be. But this didn't work. So, I went to get.flash.adobe or such and downloaded some gz file. Pointed to it. ...

synaptic>flashplugin>reinstall got Opera and midori flash back, but not epiphany.

That sudo command - typical - wiped out flash for all my browsers. Opera and midori now have no flash.

I tried downloading gz too. No luck.

Need better solution. or clarification.

Interesting. The xml is hard to read and I think it needs to be saved somewhere else. I will play with it later. Probably never figure out who in lxde to contact.
