Could you explain a bit more of what you mean by 'messing around' :)

Ok, I'd try 2 things

First go into your home directory and enable hidden files View-->Show Hidden Files

then go to the .adobe folder and trash the Flash_Player folder in there.

then in a terminal type

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
This will install the latest version of the flashplayer and remove the beta version you currently have installed

If you don't want to use a terminal you could install it with the package manager. Just search for adobe-flashplugin

hth :)

I'm out of ideas for your flash problem but for the autoremove issue try

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get autoremove
instead of apt-get autoremove
