Well I came into the library today to try again. Another guy was here and having the exact same problems I was having yesterday. The strange part was that mine worked like a charm. Then, after he left, mine started acting up. So weird I can't even contemplate. I am back to stealing the cord.

Read up on how to get flash working in linux. Also how to get my laptop screen to turn off when I close the lid. Think I might go and get that working now.
