Update Mgr won't allow me to install new flashplugin.

What is the output of:

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

Thanks

larry@larry-OptiPlex-GX620:~$ lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep

sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flash-properties-gtk adobe-flashplugin

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

You nailed it!

It removed the old -440 and installed -442 and also the autoremove
brought back some much needed extra disk space. I already downloaded and
burned a 14.04.1 LTS upgrade DVD but haven't installed it yet.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

The problem was solved on 2/08/15 by actionparsnip. I returned to the
site but couldn't find how to close it out.

Thanks actionparsnip, that solved my question.

I'm very sorry if I caused a problem by not closing out for so long. Now that I know how it's done, it won't happen again.

Thanks again for all the help!
