Flash does not work with the latest updates

Flash does not work in any browser. Xubuntu 11.10. I've looked everywhere, I've tried flash-aid, I've placed the flash file manually, nothing works. Midori, chromium, iceweasel, firefox, w/e. Reinstalled many times, rebooted countless ones, I've been trying for three days now.

What am I supposed to do? I am lost. Flash is essential for me. Soon to reach the breaking point and switch.

Running:

dpkg -l | grep -i flash



ii adobe-flash-properties-gtk 11.2.202.228-0oneiric1 GTK+ control panel for Adobe Flash Player plugin version 11 

ii adobe-flashplugin 11.2.202.228-0oneiric1 Adobe Flash Player plugin version 11 

rc flashplugin-installer 11.2.202.228ubuntu0.11.10.1 Adobe Flash Player plugin installer

There are some problems with the new version, the 11.2 one. What I did was this (in a terminal):

Downloaded: wget http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_10.2.159.1-0natty1_i386.deb

Installed it with `sudo dpkg -i adobe-flashplugin_10.2.159.1-0natty1_i386.deb'

And opened sudo synaptic to force the version.

This will do the trick. OR

Download http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_10.2.159.1.orig.tar.gz

Copy the libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/
