[Fwd: Re: [Bug 603883] Re: adobe flash crashes when called if shockwave flash is enabled otherwisw Java fails]

Micah,
I just went to Synaptic to install Adobe flashplayer and found that
Synaptic shows it as already installed.  What is going on here?  Is it
possible that the Synaptic installation process is not targeting the
player properly so that firefox doesn't know it is there?
John.

Hi Micah,

I have just upgraded, or updated, Firefox.  Adobe flash still crashes.
Since we have made many changes to the setup I thought it might be good
to run the command you first gave me to see what plugins are now
installed.  Here is the result:

john at home-office:~$ apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree swfdec-mozilla
mozilla-plugin-gnash
flashplugin-nonfree:
  Installed: (none)

john at home-office:~$ adobe-flashplugin
bash: adobe-flashplugin: command not found
john at home-office:~$ 

It looks like there are no plugins installed.  Should I install one?
Current version info is: Firefox 3.6.9  Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu
canonical - 1.0

Regards,

John.
