Flash Player

How do you install Adobe Flash Player in Ubuntu? I know that you have to use terminal but i have no idea what to do once i open it up.

Maybe you should have a look at the following pages:

Anyway, I recommend installing "Linux Mint 3.1" to you. It's 100% compatible to Ubuntu Feisty's repos and includes all such nice features as pre-installed flash-plugin, media-codecs, dvd-support (movies) etc. etc. etc. Have a look at "http://www.linuxmint.com/celena.html".

Does that get added on to Ubuntu or is it totally different? And is there a 64 Bit version?

Hi, You can add it in Ubuntu using adept, which is the first item under system in the menu. From adept, you can add the 'Medibuntu' repository (search the web for the details). This is not supported by Canonical btw. Then update your packages list and search for flash. This is a version that runs on 64 bit ubuntu using the 32 bit libraries. There is also an option (gnash) that is 64 bit. You only need one option. I am using the 7.10 beta and the flash player works nicely. Good luck.

That didn't help me that much, I think I installed it but it still doesn't work so I'm not sure.
