Flash is not working on Kubuntu 11.04, 64bit on any browser. Even after a purge and reinstall, any flash application gives either says the plugin is missing or not up to date (depends on browser).

This problem is just with Kubuntu, not with Ubuntu. How can I get flash working again?

After installing the package flashplugin-installer, the command

find / -name "libflashplayer.so" doesn't find anything.

Manual install is no longer necessary. The package adobe-flashplugin works as intended. If you used the script I originally provided, you'll have to do some clean up to get things working correctly again. See the now edited post for a script to do the clean up. Note that I had to completely remove and reinstall chrome to convince flash to work in chrome again.

I fixed it by manually installing flash.

I posted my script and made it a community wiki so it can be improved upon.
