Adobe Flash Player 10 Debian Packages
Install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz Debian. Apparently, the issue is that Hulu now needs flash 10. I installed it from the debian package provided by adobe.
Adobe Flash Player 10 Activex

I'd like to do two things pertaining to Adobe Flash player: 1) Install the most recent version (24.0.0.186 - 64-bit version), and 2) Install Adobe's repository for Flash Player. That way I could periodically run Code: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and keep things up updated. The version you want is the same version, than what you will get by running the normal (as root): Code: update-flashplugin-nonfree -install So why do you want to add adobes repository if you will only get the same version? Ok, actually I understand that it would be nice to be able to update flash and everything else by just running Code: apt update && apt upgrade But you can (almost) as easily run: Code: apt update && apt upgrade && update-flashplugin-nonfree -install If you want to add adobes repository you can ofcoruse do that. I am not familiar with adobes repository, but adding it works just the same as adding any repository.

If you want to keep Flash updates reasonably automatic, you could add a cron job to update the plugin every other day or so, or add only the non-free section of the deb-multimedia repository to your software sources list (to avoid the common multimedia problems with some packages in the main section) and use its flashplayer-mozilla package to install Flash instead. The maintainer seems to be good about keeping that current, and then updates to that package will show up in apt. I remember that Ubuntu also had a separate 'Partners' repository that was safe to use with Debian for Flash, but deb-multimedia non-free is going to be a better option.

That sounds like a good solution to my issue. But I am a newbie, so can somebody please explain in detail how to add non-free section of the deb-multimedia repository and how to install flashplayer-mozilla?
PS: It is my understanding that these are Adobe's repositories. Codec packages from third parties Warning Installation of third party packages is not recommended. Use at your own risk. This section describes installation of packages from third party repositories.
The packages in these repositories are not as thoroughly tested as packages in the official Debian archive. The problems with third party packages can include, but is not limited to Package conflicts between packages in the Debian archive and packages in third party repositories. Bad package upgrades between Debian releases. Difficulty removing third party packages once installed. Removal of unrelated packages to satisfy dependencies for third party packages. Third party packages overriding/ignoring local system/user configurations. Personally, I would not install any of this junk, including 'Adobe Flash', It is very likely you will end up with a broken system.
Adobe Flash Player is garbage, and the sites that still use it are just plain bad web design, and using it just encourages then to continue with bad practices. In any even, there is plenty of documentation, that goes into great detail on installing the crap. You really would be better off NOT installing this garbage.but it is your system, do what you want.

Installing such software means installing executable binaries on your system without source code which could be audited by the Debian Security Team so no one —except the providers— can know everything it does.
This kind of software is wholly contrary to the Debian project whose purpose is to develop and provide a 100% free operating system, but as GarryRicketson says of it.

Examples of such sites are my health insurance and payroll sites.
My health insurance site goes so far as not letting me log in unless my browser uses the latest version of Flash Player!! Now, we can discuss all we want whether such requirements make sense etc. But, believe me, there's not much I can personally do to change these things. Some of you may be able to buck these requirements, but I feel that I have no choice and sometimes I have to go with the flow.

My health insurance site goes so far as not letting me log in unless my browser uses the latest version of Flash Player!! I'm really quite taken aback by flash player being a requirement to log in to a health insurance and even a payroll site of all places! Obviously whoever manages them believes that security is best ensured by deploying proprietary, closed-source software and by making sure that the latest version is used even in the face of continual vulnerabilities; see for example this recent.Compare this approach with Debian's where tried and tested version, stable versions of open-source software underpin security.

Sometimes I have to take risks in order to carry on with my life! If there is no other way to login to sites which you must use then I agree it's a case of Hobson's choice but, although there may not be much one can do personally, one shouldn't abandon all hope of change for the better.
