Accidentally removed /opt/Adobe Directory

Asked by James Wales

Hi

I accidentally used "rm -r /opt/Adobe" and now having trouble viewing flash based on-line video clips (stuttering sound). I guess I need to reinstall everything that was on that folder. I don't recall installing flash or any other adobe products so all files in that directory comes as part of installation. I assume I have to restore this directory somehow or reinstall the programs. What are my options?

Thanks

Can you give the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'

Thanks

FWIW, I don't have a /opt/Adobe folder and flash works fine.

Try:

sudo apt-get --purge remove gnash-common

Should help.

After issuing the command above, you'll want to reinstall flashplugin-installer

sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer

That should fix you right up.

Can you help with this problem?
