TO INSTALL ADOBE FLASH PLAYER ON UBUNTU



Go to a webpage that has Flash content



For example

http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/enable_compizfusion_in_ubuntu_feisty/



In the top right hand corner you will be prompted to install the Flash plugin.



Click on that and there will be several options. Select the Adobe option then enter your password and the installer will take care of the rest.



Once Flash is installed restart Firefox and thats it

via fact java and flash at the instant are not loose or non-commericial, those 2 plug-ins at the instant are not area of the best synaptic programs. For flash, I used a how-to from the Ubuntu boards and now, every time there is an Adobe replace, i'm getting notified. For java, I downloaded the sunlight java equipment. via fact I extremely have a sixty 4-bit device, I used Ubuntu boards to place in a third celebration plug-in to run internet content with java. So, stick to hyperlink decrease than. it ought to be you have the plug-ins and an undemanding Sym-hyperlink will restoration it. The boards is the place i detect the genuine suggestion for my Ubuntu set-up. playstation , I guess until now too long, you in no way boot into XP. :)

Open up the terminal and type in



sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree.



Or



Download the flash player from the Adobe website. Get the .deb version. Choose Open with "GDebi Package Installer (default)" and then click on install package.

That is a hard question.

I wish I could tell you.

My only suggestion is that when the info bar pops down saying that plug-ins are needed to display parts of something, click the button that says "install plug ins" or something like that.
