Title: Question about flash
Post by: grab an umbrella on August 18, 2007, 11:16:30 PM

I dont know if anyone here will be able to answer it, I sure hope so though.  I have ubuntu as my os, I'm semi retarded with linux.  Anyways I need to know how to install flash on this os.  I looked online and I didn't understand any of it.

Basically... you have to get the windows plugin and put that into your linux installation.

Is it the 32 or 64 bit distribution?

Adobe provide native support for 32bit Linux OS's last time I checked.

If you cut & paste the following in a terminal:

Code: [Select]

apt-cache search flash | grep plugin
and see the words

Code: [Select]

flashplugin-nonfree - Adobe Flash Player plugin installer
Then you can type

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
to install it.

Let me know if you can't see it.
