Hi all -
I should probably admit that I haven't been booting my Debian install
lately, and it has mainly been due to irritation with Iceweasel and not
doing anything constructive about it b/c it worked fine over on another
Linux system I have (no names ...).
I am running testing and have been for some time. I don't recall when
Flash stopped working, but this has been the case for some time. At
first, I searched in Aptitude for anything related to Flash, just to
make sure I had everything available installed. No help.
I just read over a few threads in the -user list, & on the strength of
what I found I tried simply following the "install the latest version"
link from a Flash-intensive site ... chose the (Ubuntu) .deb and
installed it. Restarted Iceweasel, enabled the new Flash player v. 10 in
the plugins dialogue and disabled the older ones. Restarted Iceweasel.
You mean install_flash_player_10_linux.deb? I got that, installed
it with "dpkg -i", and now have (squeezing out spaces):
$ dpkg -l | grep flash
ii adobe-flashplugin 10.0.15.3-1hardy1 Adobe Flash Player plugin
version 10
Flash works perfectly.

No Flash. Still got the lovely
Dumb question: did you restart Iceweasel?
"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of
Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."
Javascript is on. I did a dpkg-reconfigure on adobe-flashplugin.
Restarted Iceweasel, checked plugins ... and v. 10 of the Flash player
had disappeared and I was still getting the same message when I tried to
play anything on Youtube.
I'm 98% certain I am doing something stupid here, but would appreciate
it if someone could point me in the direction of ... something that will
tell me how to diagnose the problem and make it all better. Cuz I'm
close to throwing the laptop (or just my Debian installation) against
the wall.
