I have been trying to get Flashplayer going on my husband's computer. When
the advice on this list and the Debian website failed (as below), i just
deinstalled the lot and downloaded from the Adobe site. According to the
site, the latest version available for Linux is 11, but I seem to have
downloaded 10. :-(
I am going spare on this. Has anyone got any ideas?
I know that I have not given much information on what I have done, since I had
decided just to start again and download from the Adobe website. But I have
worked though all the recent advice on this list and also that on the
relevant page in the Debian wiki.
I would happily start again from the beginning.
Thanks,
Lisi

I use flashplayer-mozilla from the debian-multimedia repository. It
updates with apt, so you don't need to run a command like
update-flashplugin-nonfree.

I add contrib & non-free to my sources.list, use a Debian mirror, from the list of
mirrors. I Install 'flashplugin-nonfree' with a visual package manager to see
what choices I have,
Flash just works here, using Mozilla based browses.
I watch Hulu.com, Amazons streaming service, etc. never had a problems with
anything not playing.
I do make sure that there is no other 'flash' on my system, e.g. Gnash stuff. Make
sure that the aternatives system points to the right flash plugin, just in case
some other flash was on the system previously.

No, but I'm not a really heavy user of flash pages. My kids play flash
games and I watch the occasional YouTube video, but that's it. I
don't remember having any problems with it.
