Try: apt-get update;apt-get install flashplugin-installer Of course since I believe Adobe stopped making flash for linux there may be no updates and it may be gone. On debian I do this: lennartsorensen:~# update-flashplugin-nonfree --status Flash Player version installed on this system : 11.2.202.418 Flash Player version available on upstream site: 11.2.202.425 flash-mozilla.so - auto mode link currently points to /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so - priority 50 Current 'best' version is '/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so'. lennartsorensen:~# update-flashplugin-nonfree --install ... <downloading> ... lennartsorensen:~# update-flashplugin-nonfree --status Flash Player version installed on this system : 11.2.202.425 Flash Player version available on upstream site: 11.2.202.425 flash-mozilla.so - auto mode link currently points to /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so - priority 50 Current 'best' version is '/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so'. So I guess there is an update available. -- Len Sorensen
