facebook game is not working properly anymore

Can you give the output of:

dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf; uname -a

Thanks

I'm not computer literate when it comes to that kind of stuff. What do you mean by that.
Thanks,
Kelly

Sometimes, the problem is as simple as refreshing, but other times it
is more specific. You said that you just did your updates, the problem
is probably caused by that, so i would suggest that you go in your
setting and change the arrangements. It is usually a flash player
problem, so I would suggest to take a look at that. Another thing that
you could do is that you could just wait a few days and see if the
problem was in the game(usually turns out that the game was under
updates, this happened to one of my Myspace games).

When I logged on yesterday, the tabs did not show up. When I tried clicking where they should be, nothing happens. I logged onto the game at work where they use windows and it worked fine. I have installed all new updates for my computer today, and it still does not work.

The command I gave needs to be pasted into a terminal

Press alt+f2
type: gnome-terminal
press enter
copy the command above and paste to the terminal
press enter
copy the text and paste here as an update.

new@new-desktop:~$ dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf; uname -a
ii adobe-flashplugin 10.0.42.34-1 Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10
ii flashplugin-nonfree 10.0.1.218+really9.0.262.0ubuntu1 Adobe Flash Player plugin installer
Linux new-desktop 2.6.24-27-generic #1 SMP Wed Jan 27 23:54:28 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

This is what I got when I entered the commands.

@Aftermath, I am the only person having issues with the game, I have 1225 friends that do not have issues with it. It also worked at my job, and I had a friend log into it and it worked for her.

You have too many plugins installed. You ONLY want the right one installed. This will fix you up:

sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flashplugin flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

You only want flashplugin-nonfree installed, adding anything else will conflict and you will not get flash.

Could you tell me how to do that?
Thank you!

Its the same box you typed the other command in. See above for guide

I ran the command and the program was successful but the game still does not work

Yes I know it was successful as its a valid command, I need the output.

 dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf

will fix nothing and change nothing, I need the output

Thanks

I tried to run it again to get what you needed and this is what I got~

new@new-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flashplugin flashplugin-nonfree; sudo

Ok we'll do it one line at a time (more work for you but copying seems to be an issue here). Make sure ALL browsers are closed. You can verify this with:

ps -ef | grep -i firefox

Tha command should output nothing. You can then remove all flash plugins and reinstall the only flash you want using the blow commands (press enter after each):-

sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flashplugin

sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
