I have used ubuntu for a few months now and I really really love it. I recently reinstalled vista, I kind need it for my web pages, and after reinstalling wubi/ubuntu, I cannot figure out how to install flash. Help me please. I am disabled and need to play my stupid little Facebook games.....my fish are dying ;)

add this line

save and close.


sudo apt-get update

In synaptic find adobe-flashplugin and install it.

If you install ubuntu-restricted-extras with synaptic, you'll get flash but also a lot of other proprietary stuff like codecs and java. Saves a lot of trouble for many new Ubuntu users.
