Fresh install of 64bit Ubuntu needs flash but adobe doesn't have a version for me
I need flash to watch YT videos. YT said "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video." with a link to download flash. I'm running 10.04 so I see possible choices for myself: 1) a .deb file for Ubuntu 8.04+ or APT (whats this??) for Ubuntu 9.04. I downloaded the deb file and when I opened it in the installer it said that I have the wrong architecture. Anyone have an idea about how to work around this?
Ok I found it. I have to use synaptic to install flashplugin-installer. Its works now!
If you enable Canonical's partner repository, you'll also find the packages adobe-flashplugin and adobeair in your package manager.
To enable this extra repository:
- Open System > Administration > Software Sources
- Go to the "Other Software" tab
- Check the box next to this line:
http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner
Now you'll need to update/refresh your package manager (sudo aptitude update on the commandline, or the Reload button in Synaptic), and these packages will be available.
