cant get flash 9 to work since the alfa update

Asked by cdodger

 Since the alfa update I cant get flash 9 x86 to work at all. I've removed flash totally and reinstalled it but it still seems to not work. With removing flash I made sure that gnash was uninstalled to. I'm still really new to Linux so if you have a solution for me please make it really detailed in what I would need to do. I still haven't been able to figure out how to install a zipped tar file yet for an example. Thanks Cdodger.

actually it is a bug in 7.10

first go to the top panel and go to system-administration-software sources
it will prompt u for the password and a window will appear
then navigate to the updates tab and check 1. important security updates
                                                                       2. recomended updates
                                                                       3. pre-released updates
the click the close button and it will prompt u for reloading click it it will gather all the updates and u will be notified of the updates
install the updates and reboot ur system

then go to this link

http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/download.pl?arch=i386&file=pool%2Fmultiverse%2Ff%2Fflashplugin-nonfree%2Fflashplugin-nonfree_9.0.48.0.2%2Breally0ubuntu12_i386.deb&md5sum=4c2cde9277e18c47a42ae8efc3720eb7&arch=i386&type=main

and click on any of the mirriors to download the flash player.
then install the flash player the same way as installing a software in windows.

Hope this helps u

if u have further questions feel free to ask.
remember u are part of the "linux community".

Try to reinstalling flashplayer-nonfree using Synaptic Package manager from

System->Administrator->Synaptic Package manager

Search for flashplayer-nonfree and install it
