I've just being trying to get flash working on Kubuntu Intrepid 8.10, as
someone was having problems getting the site below to play. It wouldn't
work with Adobe's flash 10, and the site was still complaing of flash being
missing. Someone suggested Gnash, so I installed that, and the
Gnash-plugin, but still no go, and I got a popup about missing codecs from
Firefox, mainly, gstreamer-ffmpeg, and gstreamer-extra, which is included
in
gstreamer-plugins-ugly. Installed those 2 packages, and now the site plays
the flash stuff ok.
Just looked on my F9 install on the same machine. flash-plugin is installed
(flash10), and libflashsupport is not installed. I see I also had Gnash
installed. As installing gstreamer-ffmpeg, and gstreamer-plugins-ugly on
the Kubuntu install had worked, I tried this lastnight on F9, but still no
go.
Now I've just installed gnash-plugin, and gnash-klash (which is supposed to
get flash working in Konqueror (havn't tried Konqueror yet)). About:plugins
in Firefox now shows 2 entries for Flash, but better than that, the site
below plays.

The site above is kiddie stuff, and someone on the Kubuntu list was trying
to get it working. I've just passed 60 (Dec 18), but it's a bit of fun all
the same.
btw. I've just tried Konqueror with the site, and that too plays the flash
content ok. Only need to try Opera now, and if that too plays the flash
stuff, it's all systems go.
Sounds as though you're almost there. I'll file this info for future use
:-)
