I recently upgraded from Ubunty Hardy 8.10 to Jaunty 9.04 and found that my flash player no longer worked. It was a very simple fix, but I’ll post the process here in case it helps someone with the same problem.
First you need to uninstall the existing flashplayer:
1 | $ sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-* --purge |
Then it’s just a case of reinstalling the latest version (which also fixes a serious security bug):
1 | $ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree |
Restart your browser and it should all be working.
