How to install flash player
Hi,
I am using UBUNTU 8.04...I downloaded the flash player from internet...but i am trying to install...but i cant...Can anyone help me? |
Hi.Im not an Ubuntu user but I am pretty sure that you should use Ubuntu's package manager to install your software.You dont find it on the internet and then install it like with Windows.Im pretty sure that flashplayer will be in the Ubuntu repositories so thats where you get it.I hope this helps you.

If you've downloaded .deb package for Ubuntu on your desktop,maybe you can just double click on it and gdebi will install it for you,if it's installed and I think it is,if it's not you can install gdebi with Synaptic,or you can do it the other way;open terminal,go to Desktop folder with command:
Code:
cd /home/you/Desktop Code:
sudo dpkg -i flash-player package.deb As already suggested,there's flash-player somewhere in the repositories,maybe you need to enable some of them in Synaptic package manager and search for flash-player then. |
hoodooman is correct. Load up Synaptic, find the package flashplayer-nonfree and install that.

I am getting this error message
Code:
sharief@sharief-desktop:~/Desktop/softwares$ sudo dpkg -i flash-player install_flash_player_10_linux.deb |
This is wrong:
Code:
sudo dpkg -i flash-player install_flash_player_10_linux.deb Code:
sudo dpkg -i install_flash_player_10_linux.deb Code:
locate adobe It looks like you have something already installed,you could remove that,but it looks also like you should be able to use flash already.Have you tried to play something in flash? Have you updated your system? If you didn't,in Synaptic mark all upgrades and update your system. |
