Remove the old flashplayer with



sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree


and try to install flashplayer 10 again.

are you using 32 bit or 64 bit ubuntu? I see your computer is 32bit/64bit capable, but which version of Ubuntu did you install 32 bit or 64 bit?

I could tell you this but since it's already here:
Have a look.

I would seem to think he used a deb file from Adobe's site not flashplugin-nonfree.

I agree;
Still it would work when he deletes flashplayer.xpt / libflashplayer.so
Don't you think?

Edit:

yes, but the command with flashplugin-nonfree won't work because that isn't what was installed.

Your right about that;
I saw that in the responds from TS, That's why I suggested to remove the files manually and linked him to the directions for that.
