Anyone able to get it working? Everyone says all you have to do is use apt or synaptic to install flash/gnash, but neither of those work for me in Firefox.

I asked on ubuntu forums, but no response yet.

This is the only barrier I found with Gusty so far. :\

Mine works fine, but I upgraded from Feisty.

Did you do a fresh install?

I've never gotten it to work through apt, or at least rarely. What I do is download Flash Player 9 and install it from the command line.

I just went to a webpage in Firefox that uses Flash, and installed it with their system.

I installed from the command line in Feisty, and it worked fine.

All it is is just a DLL in Windows... so I assume just an SO on Linux, so you could just install it by hand (I wouldn't know where to put it on Linux though).
