Hulu Desktop missing flash

[Riggs]

upon a reinstall of LMCE i install Hulu, after a restart and a complete regen Hulu reports there is no flash so i follow the wiki http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Installing_Flash there download link did not work only flash 10 is available from adobe, so i tried the wiki with flash 10 but it did not work.

This has never happened in any of the test installs we've done. We deliberately install Flash.

Well it has now happened to 2 beta testers. I installed hulu desktop today and also got the flash error.

I am sure that flash is installed, but there is an issue in there somewhere.

[Riggs]

I can test the latest snapshot (LinuxMCE-8.10-23082-i386.iso 18-Jun-2010 08:16  3.8G)

[Riggs]

Re-installed with above mentioned snapshot and i still get the same error.

[tschak909]

can you print me the contents of your /root/.huludesktop file and the output of dpkg -s flashplugin-nonfree (assuming of course, you did not manually install it.)
