Go here (http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/)

Download the .apt package and allow it to install


OR

Open Synaptic Package Manager (System -->Admin --> Synaptic(

In the quick search box type "ubuntu-restricted-extras"

Mark for installation for the package that matches. Allow it to install any dependancies.

Hit Apply and let everything download/install

No he shouldn't use Chrome. He should use Chromium (http://www.chromium.org/) The original Chrome. ;)

Wow. I've been running Ubuntu for a few years now on a single machine with no problems whatsoever, and yesterday I decided to change things around and install a fresh copy.

None of these instructions work.
