Adobe Flash Player
 
I would like to watch tv shows on Ubuntu 9.02. Which version of Adobe Flash player would I need?

Thanks

The latest from Adobe site should be enough.

I'm fuzzy on this area, but there are a variety of formats and players---many of which should also be installed on Ubuntu. Please tell us specifically which kinds of videos or which websites.

^ i'm a little bit confused on the question as well. if you know you need adobe flash player why didnt you install it ?

whenever i go to youtube or whatever and it isnt installed, firefox would ask me if i want to install it.

Maybe the OP is asking which browser plugin.ie-32 or 64 bit?.

Watching streaming Video
 
I am sorry for the lack of clearity in my question, but this is so new to me that I find it somewhat confusing. Maybe I can make it clearer. I would like to watch videos on this site.

works for me (fedora-9). what issues are you having ?

does firefox not prompt you that you need to install flash ?

whenever i go to youtube/ hulu/ whatever the browser finds the plug-in and automatically installs it. (did you restart your browser after it downloads and installs flash ?)

Where do I go from here?
 
I tried downloading it but this is what I got.

repo 05-19-2009 04:38 PM
Code:
sudo dpkg -i install_flashplayer_10_linux(2).deb

Thanks, but could you please elaborate on this. This is so new to me.

What repo is suggesting you do is type the command he gave you in a terminal which should install the flashplayer for you.

sudo to become root,
dpkg is the installer,
i to install
the last part is the name of the package to install.

Tried it, and this was the result

daniel@daniel-desktop:~$ sudo -i install_flashplayer_10_linux(2).deb
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
daniel@daniel-desktop:~$

The correct command is
Code:
sudo dpkg -i install_flashplayer_10_linux(2).deb
If you still get the error, rename the file
Code:
mv install_flashplayer_10_linux(2).deb install_flashplayer_10_linux.deb
then
Code:
sudo dpkg -i install_flashplayer_10_linux.deb

Go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Select .deb for Ubuntu and download the file. Once download is complete double click it. It will ask for your password and install it.

schneidz 05-20-2009 02:00 AM
^ i guess the debian version of firefox only downloads the package and doesnt install it automatically...

use dpkg as suggested above to install manually.
