Flash doesn't work anymore

Greetings,

From some time ago after some ports upgrades on my FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE box, Flash stopped working. I got following error messages in .xsession-errors:
Code: 
(npviewer.bin:95691): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0
*** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: failed to initialize plugin-side RPC client connection
And Chromium browser shows "Missing Plug-ins" instead even though
Code: 
about://plugins
displays that flash is installed.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
You probably upgraded kernel when http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-11:05.unix.asc was out, but the part fixing Linux layer wasn't included, thus breaking all X11 Linux applications. So the solution is probably:
Code: 
# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-11:05/unix-linux.patch
# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-11:05/unix-linux.patch.asc

b) Apply the patch.

# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch

c) Recompile your kernel as described in
<URL:http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html> and reboot the
system.
