Yep, add contrib and non-free. See my sources.list above.
For Flash, install flashplugin-nonfree.

I had those but apparently I unchecked them in synaptic then ran the cat command in bash for the post, duh.  

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

I got flash working ok.


can't get googleearth to work. I built it then ran the installer but it doesn't work. Now I have a menu entry that doesn't work. Can I clean this up and start over? My first deb package build and it fails, of course.

for clementine I have these errors. It won't install.

clementine:
  Depends: libprojectm2 (>=2.0.1+dfsg-10~bpo60+1) but 2.0.1+dfsg-5 is to be installed
  Depends: projectm-data (>=2.0.1+dfsg-10~bpo60+1) but 2.0.1+dfsg-5 is to be installed

Just install lsb-core and libqtcore4 and run the installer again. dpkg won't automatically install dependencies like apt.
I don't know why clementine has projectm as a dependency. I would have thought it would be optional. You may be able to download it from testing or sid, install with dpkg -i then try again.

Failed.

Don't be daft grasshopper.

thanks sunrat. The Earth is up and rotating once again. For Clementine, when you say download it from sid, is there a web page I go to or can I add sid to my sources in synaptic?

abarbarian, I seem to know a lot of those, but that's probably a good thing.     

[cybormoron]

I got Clementine. I ran the command from this page. http://wiki.debian.org/Clementine

apt-get -t squeeze-backports install clementine

I have no clue why it won't install thru Synaptic.

Two guesses - perhaps you did not update your sources after editing your sources.list. You need to do this in Synaptic, or apt-get update, after changing sources to update the local available packages list.
Also the -t option forces apt to use the repository specified in the command, in this case backports. Clementine is not available in the standard squeeze repos.
