    PipeLight. Sorry, didn't see that. I guess I overread it. My bad. Let me give that a try. Thanks.

    Re: Adobe Flash

    I'm stuck on the 3rd command
    sudo apt-get install --install-recommends pipelight-multi
    After it runs, I can't click Ok to go back to Terminal. (see attachment)
    I can exit terminal and open a new one. But not sure if that will screw up installation or not.

    Does the command finish and leave you back at the command prompt? If so, it has finished the installation.

    It does not bring me back to the terminal. I can hold in ESC and it will flash and show me the terminal screen behind it, but will not exit.
    Clicking Ok does nothing and holding enter does nothing except go down the UELA.

    I opened a new Terminal and tried to proceed to the next command in the next step. It would not continue.

    One of the differences between Chrome and Chromium is that Chrome comes with pepper-flash already installed. Chromium excludes proprietary bits like pepper-flash and a pdf reader. I installed pepper-flash from Ubuntu's repository.

    If you mean clicking with the mouse, that won't work in a terminal. It expects all the input to come from the keyboard.

    When you see the EULA screen, you need to use the Tab to navigate to OK and hit Enter.

    I didn't think "clicking" would work. But I had no other alternative 'cause no key strokes were working. Enter and Ctrl C or anything. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for next time... to use Tab.

    Although, I tried Kurt's idea instead (seemed a lot easier). Chrome (instead of Chromium) installed. Did a search for Chrome and went to their website, downloaded the 32 bit DEB file. Then had it open and install through Software Center.
    Opened. It tells me I have version 14 of flash. Which is great, plus it also says it auto updates!
    Now I just have to have the 'user' test it on their pc since they are the one that actually plays the games

    Late reply, but yes. There is a difference between chrome and chromium.
    Chromium is a community-built browser.
    Google funds the chromium project, but then takes the core parts and adds it's own pieces, which make up chrome.
    Most notable is that chrome has flash built-in, and chromium does not.

    chromium is open-source and available in the default Ubuntu repositories.
    chrome is not and to install you either need to install the deb package from google-chrome, or add the google-chrome repository and then install via apt-get.
