I should note that flash usually works, even on the same page that has

There are differences between the Mythbuntu and Ubuntu machines.

The flash plugins are the same: "Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124"

dpkg gives different outputs.

Mythbuntu (machine with problem):

ii  flashplugin-nonfree
10.0.1.218+10.0.0.525ubuntu1~hardy1+really9.0.124.0ubuntu2
Adobe Flash Player plugin installer

ii  libflashsupport 
1.9-0ubuntu2~hardy1+really0ubuntu1                         Support 
library for sound output of Flash 91


Ubuntu (machine that works):

ii  flashplugin-nonfree
9.0.124.0ubuntu2
Adobe Flash Player plugin installer


I don't know what to make of the extra: 
"10.0.1.218+10.0.0.525ubuntu1~hardy1+really"

This could have come from our unsuccessful attempt to get ABC streaming 
to work.  I think I also had to install packages to get streaming to 
work as well.

So, I think you are suggesting that I uninstall "libflashsupport".  Is 
that correct?


What should I do about the differences in the flashplugin-nonfree line?
