Flash install in Ubuntu...

[RandomP]

I am now on 64 bit Ubuntu and would like to install adobe flash player. Any way I can do this? I know that there was an alpha, but I am not sure if it is still around. I prefer Adobe's flash to the other alternatives given.

You should be able to download flash as a Deb file from Adobe's website.

Alternatively, I think it's included with Ubuntu Restricted Extras, which you can search for and install with the Ubuntu Software Center (formerly Add/Remove at the bottom of the Applications menu).

I understand the 64-bit version works fine these days.

For now use the 32 bit plugin until the 64 bit one is fixed.

You can use this.

The community documentation is actually pretty helpful with restricted formats like flash.

Thanks. That flash aid problem got it done. A .deb package would not work with 64 bit using the debi installer since it reads that it is a i386 package and not 64bit.

However, the play/pause button on youtube does not work and I cannot skip ahead while watching. Strange.
