I applied the shockwave update like a good girl, and now my favorite radio station won't start.

Shockwave doesn't run on Linux. What is KABC?

KABC is a radio station that streams online. I had occasional trouble with
it crashing in the past, and hoped this update would fix that.

Confused! Task Manager is Windows app. Is KABC a radio station? Shockwave is Windows. What OS are you using, Ubuntu or Windows?

Please forgive me. I am still upset, so I used an incorrect term, expecting
someone to have applied the same update recently from the update manager. I
wouldn't post here if I didn't use Ubuntu. I applied the recommended update
less than 3 hours ago. Maybe it was Flash player.

I don't know what method the Southern California radio station KABC uses to
stream on the internet. All I know is that it *isn't* *immediately* after
applying the update. Please help. Thank you.

Please open a Terminal window (Ctrl+Alt+T) and paste the following command into it, then press enter to run it:

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

Then please select all the text in the Terminal (Edit > Select All), copy it to the clipboard (Edit > Copy), and paste it here (into your post).

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

Try running this command, and see if the problem goes away. (Come to https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+question/167600, select the whole thing, copy it to the clipboard, and paste it into the Terminal.) You may be prompted for your password in the Terminal. As you enter it, you won't see any placeholder characters (like *). That's OK, just type it in and press enter:

sudo apt-get purge adobe-flash-properties-gtk adobe-flashplugin flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree; sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer; sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/`dpkg-query -f='${Package}_${Version}_${Architecture}' -W flashplugin-installer`.deb; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

Then quit all your web browser windows, go back into your browser, and see if the problem is fixed.

If the problem is not fixed, then please select all the text in the Terminal, copy it to the clipboard, and paste it here. Please also:

(1) In Firefox, go to Tools > Add-ons, and see if more than one item is listed that says Flash or Shockwave (or both). If so, please post here about exactly what it says.

(2) Check to see if the problem occurs with a different web browser. (So if you are using Firefox, you can test to see if the problem happens in Chromium--to get Chromium, install the package called chromium-browser in the Software Center). If the problem is with your web browser rather than your Flash plugin, this may reveal that.

(3) Check if the problem happens when you log in to your Ubuntu system as a different user (if you only have one user account, you can create a second user account to test this). If the problem is with your user-specific configuration, this should reveal that.

Try:

sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flash-properties-gtk adobe-flashplugin flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

Restart all browsers. Should be ok

Yippee!! Thank you! Why did I have to go through all of this?? I know I
need to go to Linux User's Group meetings and/or find a class to really
learn what this is all about. I'm sure I can get a handle on this and play
around for myself, but I haven't yet...Thank you for being there for me,
Elia!!

Thanks! Another program that uses Adobe Flash (Facebook Happy Aquarium) doesn't seem to want to work while the radio is streaming, but that was often true, anyway.
