OK, I found the problem, there were some leftovers in my /home/ directory from the old gutsy install. (I formatted and the root / partition and kept /home intact when I installed hardy)
I simply removed these: /home/user/.macromedia /home/user/.mozilla/plugins/flashplayer.xpt /home/user/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /home/user/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so Now I have this: $ ls /home/user/.macromedia ls: cannot access /home/user/.macromedia: No such file or directory $ ls /home/user/.mozilla/plugins/ nphelix.so nphelix.xpt -- hardy heron 8.04 alpha 5 - flash not installed correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195422 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
