    Re: Flash update today not working.

    Hi thanks for jumping in I have just done what you asked and I get this response from the terminal

    fairy@fairy-K7S41GX:~$ dpkg -l | grep flash
    fairy@fairy-K7S41GX:~$ dpkg -l grep flash
    Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
    | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
    |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
    ||/ Name Version Description
    +++-==============-==============-============================================
    ii grep 2.6.3-3 GNU grep, egrep and fgrep
    No packages found matching flash.
    fairy@fairy-K7S41GX:~$


    I know it seems peculiar, especially as I used flash-aid to install only 10 minutes ago (custom install referencing a tar gz from my desktop) Seems odd that there are no flash packages recognised.

You can download them here: http://ubuntu.wbac.ac.th/archive-can...lugin/?C=M;O=D

    Let's see if next updates fix the issue.

    @Ubuntu 11.04
    Yessssss. My GF's pc is 10.04 And I got this http://ubuntu.wbac.ac.th/archive-can...ucid1_i386.deb

    Since the tar was 170meg. I uninstalled flash then gdebi the above file. Now version locked in synaptic.

    Has anyone raised a bug for this. I couldn't find one on launchpad.

    I think maybe you didn't run the command correctly. You seem to have 2 command lines showing in the output you posted.

    Notice the vertical bar | that I place before grep. That's usually on the same key as the 'backslash', so press shift-\ to get it.

    Code:
    dpkg -l | grep flash

    I'm still using 10.04 LTS.

    I took the easy road. This one: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Utili...ux-18853.shtml was only a 6.4 MB download. I extracted the libflashplayer.so from that & copied it to my /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin directory & I haven't had any problems with it.

    OK, I misunderstood your previous post.
    I'll download a copy from your link.

    Yeah anyone following this just purge all flash first with synaptic. Then once installed lock the version.

    Re: Lucid Lynx Flash update today not working. Version 11.2.202

    Thanks rumple,
    Sorry, I didn't know where to get that line(I'm learning all kinds of new things)
    After my last visit here I went and installed the only flash thing in my synaptic package manager,
    I returned to the terminal, (after having a little nap, I get tired these days) inputted the revised correct command and got this...

    fairy@fairy-K7S41GX:~$ dpkg -l | grep flash
    ii flashplugin-installer 11.2.202.228ubuntu0.10.10.1 Adobe Flash Player plugin installer
    fairy@fairy-K7S41GX:~$


    what I really want and need to do, I think, is to put the working flash that I lack and everyone seems to have into my synaptic.
    I'm sure it shouldn't be this obscure.

    I looked into usr/lib and don't appear to have .../adobe-flashplugin directory?
    Is it hidden?

    Just run
    Code:
    locate libflashplayer.so
    to find where the plugin is, or more importantly, if you have installed it at all.
