Some linux’s user has get trouble installing flash in ubuntu. I want to give you some tips in order to include flash in your ubuntu system. There are number of way to install flash plugin, it’s simple and easy, and you shouldn’t get trouble.But first you must download the latest version of adobe flash player (when this article wrote, version 10 is the latest).
You can get the flash player 10 in here. Open the terminal window and type issue :
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
or you could open Add/Remove Software utility (Synaptic). Search adobe then when result appear select flashplugin-installer”.But the easiest way is use “browser”, and it will perfectly install adoble flahs player 10.
Open firefox mozilla browser. When you open the website that required a flash plugin to run their service, you will soon see “Install Missing Plugins” (I suggest you to open facebook). Click the missing button and new window will appear. The new window will ask you to choose where the flash plugin that will be installed. There are three option in there :
- Swfdec: The GNOME version of the
- Adobe Flash Player: Official version
- Gnash: GNU SWF player.
In number 1 and 3 is a open source software of flash plugin. But I am sorry, there are usually give problem when install in ubuntu. Ok choose “Adobe Flash Player: Official version” for your next step.
Adobe flash player will download and install another application (but it’s no problem). Hey, before you read next information, also look my another article about the best software for ubuntu.The last step is check the flash installation.
