    Reverting back before an flash plug-in installation

    Recently installed Ubuntu. It resurrected a dead machine.

    While using Miro, I went to a site in Firefox to check on a video downloads. The site said I couldn't play their files and gave me the option of downloading flash. Since Ubuntu was having trouble getting the dependancies together for me to load flash and make it work, I downloaded their offer.

    Now Miro doesn't recognize any of the available videos to download when I try to access them.

    How do I reverse the downloads? Is it possible?

    Thanks for helping the newbie.

    I've never used Miro, but what exactly did you download? This was directly off the adobe website? Was it a deb package? Or did it end in .tar.gz?

    Thanks for the reply. Actually I found a work out. I used the 'janitor" to remove a couple of unneeded programs. I am assuming what I did broke their links so were deemed trash. I got rid of them and then the updater program showed a flash program to get. I downloaded it and now Miro works just as before.
