Flash Doesn't Work After 9.04 AMD64 Upgrade

[Carl Bullock]

After upgrading from Ubuntu 8.10 amd64 to Ubuntu 9.04 amd64 I was getting error messages from flash sites like Youtube telling me to install the latest Adobe Flash or to turn on javascript reinstalling the plugin from synaptic didn't solve the problem although following the instructions given by a Ubuntu forums member (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7090966&postcount=3) it now works fine

I'd like to confirm this bug after upgrading from Xubuntu 32 bit 8.10 to Xubuntu 32 bit 9.04.

Flash website requested that I install flash (even though it was working in 8.10), and reinstalling "flashplugin-installer" via synaptic didn't fix it.

The simple "manual" installation from Adobe's website works, but the "flashplugin-installer" package does not.

Same issue as original reporter here, on my 2 intrepid -> jaunty upgraded today - one amd64 and one i386.

This is a fix found at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1112676

sudo apt-get purge flashplugin\* ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

Please remove gnash and swfdec and than install flashplugin-installer. I am able to get it to work just fine with only flashplugin-installer installed please see screenshot. Your problem is not in flash it is the local set ups.
