Ok, I'm doing this for the newbies out there and any one else who had a problem getting this to work right.
First off, trying to use 32bit flash didn't work out for me in Lucid (10.4). Some YouTube videos would work; others not so good. I could watch them, but could not use the controls. I tried some links people shared, but they all linked me to another 32bit version. I tried the adobe site and every time I clicked on on the 64bit apt link I would get some kind of error. (adobe-flashplugin is virtual) So, after some searching I found this and entered it into the Terminal.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer
Now all videos play correctly and I can control all the player controls.
Apologize if I posted this in the wrong area. I might not be new to Ubuntu, but to the forums I am.
