    Issues with Flash Player in Ubuntu

    I have a Dell Inspiron N4110 With Intel HD 2000 Graphics and a Core i5 processor. In Windows, I can play flash smoothly. In Ubuntu, flash stutters and the computer's vents get really hot. I have Ubuntu 12.04 32bit version. Is there anything I can fix?

    Hi ,
    are you sure that you have installed flash player ? (no offense but you didn't say if you are a newbie in Ubuntu(Linux)

    If you are not sure , open a terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and post the results of these commands
    Code:
    apt-cache policy adobe-flashplugin
    apt-cache policy flashplugin-installer
    you can copy from here one at time , the commands and paste them to terminal .

    Put the results inside [code] tags so can be readable
    [code]the results here[/code]
    Thank you.

    Hi ,
    I don't know if this makes any difference but you can try this

    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer
    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
    reboot.

    Thanks

    Install google chrome, flash support for linux is dead and the only way to actually get a working version now without insane command line is to install google chrome.
