Flash plug-in for Firefox in Ubuntu

Posted in:Tips 'n Tricks
  • For Flash plug-in:
               sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
  • There's a known bug affecting the Flash plug-in in the Gutsy repo. Some people get the following error after executing the above command:
               md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
               The Flash plugin is NOT installed.

                                   The fix can be found here.

  • Or if you want to support the open source flash plugin:

                                   sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-gnash
