You received this question notification because you asked the question.

ok you have a LOT of flash plugins there. If you run:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree browser-plugin-gnash gnash gnash-common gnash-ext-fileio konqueror-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla swfdec-mozilla browser-plugin-lightspark lightspark lightspark-common

It will remove them all. You can then install what you wish. If you want lightspark run:

sudo apt-get install lightspark

or if you want the adobe plugin, run:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer

HTH

Have done what you said but no success.

Your question #164583 on lightspark in Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightspark/+question/164583

    Status: Open => Answered

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
ok you have a LOT of flash plugins there. If you run:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer
flashplugin-nonfree browser-plugin-gnash gnash gnash-common gnash-ext-
fileio konqueror-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla swfdec-mozilla browser-
plugin-lightspark lightspark lightspark-common

It will remove them all. You can then install what you wish. If you want
lightspark run:

sudo apt-get install lightspark

or if you want the adobe plugin, run:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash; sudo apt-get update;
sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer

If this answers your question, please go to the following page to let us
know that it is solved:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightspark/+question/164583/+confirm?answer_id=4

If you still need help, you can reply to this email or go to the
following page to enter your feedback:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightspark/+question/164583

You received this question notification because you asked the question.

You ran:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer

But the command actionparsnip asked you to run was:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree browser-plugin-gnash gnash gnash-common gnash-ext-fileio konqueror-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla swfdec-mozilla browser-plugin-lightspark lightspark lightspark-common

And after that command completes, you still have to install a Flash plugin.

To run that big long command, you should come to https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightspark/+question/164583 so that you can copy it to the clipboard in a form that it can be run (it will be broken up into multiple lines in your email, preventing that from working properly). Then paste it into the Terminal and press enter.

Also, please do not include the text of the previous person's post in your replies. This makes it very hard for users of the web interface to know what is going on (and almost everyone who provides assistance with questions uses the web interface). You can delete this text before clicking Send.

Thank you for all help have done the uninstallment but I didnot have to reinstall anything just took a chance and went to bbc news video and it is working perfectly
