Flash Player for linux

[JimmyFlip]

I need advice for a flash player i should get for my newly installed Ubuntu. Im new to Ubuntu and it would be great if i could get steps on installing it.

Install the ubuntu-restricted-extras from stynaptic

go to system>admin>software sources and make sure all repos are enabled. then reload. then open terminal and
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

Hi,

Try to install flash nonfree from the repos. Go to system > admin > synaptic package manager (it will ask for your password) and click settings and ensure that universe and multiverse are ticked. Then close the window adn click reload in synaptic. Then search for flash nonfree adn right click it and say mark for install.


Cheers,


Lordadi.

Because you don't have Flash installed? Or you have NoScript installed in Firefox? Or you're not using Firefox at all and are using Konqueror or Opera (which both theoretically should be able to use Firefox's plugins but sometimes have problems)?

What exactly happens when you visit a YouTube page?
