try visiting adobe website, installing flash from inside the browser, or just using synaptic or software center

Indeed. Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu, and many others are all one distribution, just with different software installed by default and different branding.

Installing flash in Lubuntu
It didn't work for me from either terminal or Synaptic Package Manager. Using terminal I got the error - Package 'flashplugin-nonfree' has no installation candidate.
