Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.
At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

You seem to have 3 outdated versions of the Adobe Flash plugin installed. Could you please provide the results of the following command run in a terminal:

apt-cache policy flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree swfdec-mozilla mozilla-plugin-gnash adobe-flashplugin

This will let us know what flash player packages you have installed so that we can better diagnose your issue. Thank you.

flash-aid 1.0.5 resolved the problem. Never did figure out what event
triggered it in the first place.
