Adobe flash player 11 does not seem to work after a resent update
Tried to update to the latest flash plug in and I can no longer get most videos from YouTube.
From a previous email thought you may need this information.
lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|

This is my method, it works beacause Adobe new plugin is buggy, you must to install an old version.
Adobe Flash will die with HTML5....for the moment, try this:
-Close Chromium.
-Go to synaptic, completely remove all adobe-flash entries and exit synaptic.
-Open a terminal and download: sudo wget http://
-Enter the directory you have downloaded .deb and install it.
-Launch Chromium with the command: chromium-browser --allow-
-Test youtube, works? Go to synaptic, search and select flashplugin just installed (10.0.159), package menu>lock version.

I Tried the first (actually had tried a variation of it earlier after reading some of the other FAQs):
sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flashplugin adobe-flash-
Doesn't seem to solve the problem. (which is that I just get a "black" screen when I attempt to play certain videos).
Will try the second method (running Firfox at the moment).

Was attempting to perform the method suggested by Franciosi Marco above but now when I go to "synaptic package manager" I get the following errors and then it crashes.
E: The package flashplugin-nonfree needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
I do have the flashplugin-
-Enter the directory you have downloaded .deb and install it.
I am new to Linux and not sure what "command" to use to install the .deb
Run:
sudo dpkg --force-all -i ./flashplugin-
Does it install ok
Can you help with this problem?
Provide an answer of your own, or ask esmoran162 for more information if necessary.
