I think you are not the only one with this problem. Try the latest flash
you have to enable the Romeo repositories, best done by

Code: Select all

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Remove the two ## in front of the Romeo line
Then start mintUpdate and refresh and you should get the flash - and the latest version of mintInstall

Missing part highlighted.

Either way, there seems to be a larger problem with Skype. I can call people when other programs are accessing the audio devices, e.g. Firefox, Movie Player, games. I guess there's no known workaround for the problem, Husse?

Don't know....
I'm beginning to see reports now first so it could be something new
Oh yes - this is important
## +++ Romeo (unstable) +++
If you don't comment that line anything using repositories will think it's a failing repository
For a while now mintUpdate has a fallback mechanism that lets it continue in such a case
