I currently have the 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" on my system and when I try to install the APT 9.04+ version of the Adobe Flash Player, it stops with the error, cannot find adobe-flashpluin.

How do I get the flash player install in Firefox ?

If you want to you can install Flash and your codec's for
playing .wma,mpeg and such.

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

I tried to install ubuntu-restricted-extras, but it crashed when it couldn't find a font. I didn't take the time to figure out what the font was or where it was suppose to be.

This link works like a charm. I sorted out my flash related problem. But i will definitely say ubuntu is little bit complex than knoppix.

I would try downloading the .deb from Adobe's site (instead of the APT), or try Gnash's free Flash alternative plugin.

The site worked well for me.
10.4 LTS 4 days before release.
