No, the md5sum error went away after the manual editing of the
sources.list file.
The about:plugins returns the following information, which seems to show
that a version of the Flash plugin is now installed--but I'm pretty sure
this is an old version and that Adobe is currently at 8 or 9? I'm quite
hesitant to start mangling my Ubuntu with non-approved software from
sources I don't much trust. (Yeah, Adobe, I'm talking about you.)
Shockwave Flash
File name: libflashplayer.so
Shockwave Flash 7.0 r68
MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes
application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes
However, the test website still responds as below. The links in those
error messages point at the Adobe website for Windows problems. The test
website is not very smart, and basically any and all problems produce
this error message, and I can't tell which version of Flash they are
insisting upon or if it is some other problem altogether. I don't want
to work out these details... I'd prefer it just works. (And I still
think there are lots of diners like me out here.)
You need to upgrade your Flash Player by clicking this link.
If you see this and have already upgraded we suggest you follow this
link to uninstall Flash and reinstall again.
