Hi. I turned my Mini on yesterday and suddenly when I visit Flash sites I am getting a message that I need to install the plugin - it was working fine the day before.

I follow the link to Adobe and select the Hardy deb. It appears to install normally, but even after a reboot, I still don't have flash.

I know there were some issues with x86 debs not working with Atom, so I also tried the tarball from Adobe - also appears to install successfully, also doesn't work.

I also tried to install the flashplugin-nonfree package in synaptic, and I get an error message: failed to install/upgrade: conflicting packages - not installing flashplugin-nonfree

Anyone have an idea of what happened to my flash plugin and how I can get it back?

Any chance that you've installed the Firefox NoScript add in?

I'm pretty sure that you need javascript for flash stuff.
