Thanks for the quick reply. But still no go unfortunately. I?e done System>admin>update manager>check etc.. and my system is up to date. I then loaded Synaptic Package Manager, and typed in FLASH. The only options that i'm getting are 'flashblock' and 'flashybrid', no flashplugins . I even just installed all of the Karmic 'Pre-release' updates. Is there perhaps a repository I have to add for 'other software'? Sorry if im missing something obvious here.
Thx

Hi, v.new linux user here. I just installed 9.10 on my ps3. I updated like advised, but like the previous comment the needed results arent coming up after searching for FLASH. Any ideas? BTW I also tried the Terminal approach and got the following msg:
Package flashplugin-nonfree is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package flashplugin-nonfree has no installation candidate

Thanks for the site, and your help.

yes.. this should work too from a TERMINAL window.
I appreciate it…

Did you get all your system updates prior to trying these steps?

Nice to see a guide installing without all the command line gibberish that the more experience users tend to prefer and use. Thumbs up!

Been playing with the idea to create a site with only GUI methods used to fix problems, seems like most of the users of ubuntu/linux from the past 2 years prefer GUI when possible and also makes it easier on the freshly minted users.
