I would recommend downloading the latest Chrome (which also comes with latest Flash) or Firefox and see if that helps.
you're probably making the same mistake i did, confusing chrome with chromium.
chrome includes an updated flash, chromium doesn't. at least, that's my current understanding.
No, I meant to say Chrome. Chrome is the proprietary closed source version of Chromium that includes proprietary stuff, such as Flash, and is distributed only by Google. Unless this has changed recently, the only way to get the latest Flash on Linux is through Chrome, as the plugin that works with Firefox is old. Which is why I suggested Chrome. BTW, there's no need to add deb-src entries unless you actually intend
to download package sources and rebuild them. not including them saves download time and RAM for processing more+larger sources.list files.
Agreed here. Seems to be common practise however.
