Hi
I have installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop and am playing around with it and so far so good, the only problem that I am having though is any flash application i try to use through my firefox browser, I just can't use it.
I gone through a number of guidelines on the internet to try to fix it but just not having any luck.
Has anyone had any similar issues with installing flash on ubunutu?
I have tried to remove flash completly using synpatic package manager and tried to reinstall it with no avail and also gone directly to adobe website and installed the linux installer and it seems to have installed when i try to run it through terminal but just having problems.
any help would be greatly appreciated..

yes it should be there.
tryand see if it appearsCode:sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
try manually linking the plugin to your firefox plugins directory:
Code:sudo ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so
I have tried that and it comes up with the following message
creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so': File exists
Its odd because now I think it has started to work partly. My edugeek avatar is butthead and before it was static but now it has begun to move, could this be related to this? as that file is only a gif.
yes I have restarted the computer to see if that helped and it hasnt.
I thought I would install opera to see if it would resolve the problem as maybe it could have been a firefox issue, but the same issue happens in opera as well.
Is there any tool I can use to check the status of the install?
