If you are like me and almost blindly click on 'Update Now' when system updates are available in Ubuntu, you may have run into the same problem I had with Chrome. I am running Ubuntu 10.04, 64-bit and use Chrome as my primary browser (from Synaptic). After the automatic updates of a few weeks ago flash stopped working and Chrome would ask me everytime 'Flash is out of date - Run this time only or Update'. But the update it was linking to on the Adobe website wouldn't work for whatever reason.
Luckily the ubuntuforums.org came to the rescue. Using a Firefox plugin called Flash-Aid you can update the Flash player semi-automatically. This plugin is published on the Mozilla website.
To install this plugin do the following:
1. Start Firefox (since it is a plugin for Firefox, this won't work in Chrome)
2. Go to: Flash-Aid
3. Follow the instructions
4. After the execution of the script restart your browser(s) and Bob's your uncle!
