Flash Needs To Be Reinstalled After Every Update

[russlar]

So far, I've had to re-install (remove and install) the flashplugin-installer package after every kernel, KDE, firefox, and/or nsplugin update. This is only kinda annoying . Any workarounds?

You can drop the Flash plug-in in the folder "/home/user/.mozilla/plugins/". Download the flash plug-in archive in tar.gz format at adobe website. Do that for each user in your PC.

yeah, except I didn't install from adobe's website, I installed using the flashplayer package back in Intrepid, then upgraded to jaunty when it was released.

Ok, Here Is What To Do, Had Same Problem, Just Go To Add/Remove Search For " Flashplugin " Remove It, Then X Out Go And Right-Click Desktop, " Run A Command " Type In " Konsole " The In Konsole Type In " sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras " Say " Y " To The Prompt, It Takes A-Lot Of Space, Like 116 MB, It Also Takes Time, Browser MUST Be closed out, the end, should stop

Yes, I did the same, and re-ran through it after upgrading to 9.04.

Yesterday's firefox upgrade didn't hose flash, so I'm hopeful.
