Hello,

I googled how to update flash player, in order to play some videos guys send me on msgs.
Soon it bacme super complicated, and now situation even worse- can't play even YouTube videos.
There is so much options and things to write in the command line, and none of them seems to help.
I only managed to install flash player, but now it need an update which I can't manage to do, and- as I said no youtube.
Help?

Quick google of your problem:

Using GDebi to install packages

GDebi is a simple tool to install .deb files. It has a graphical user interface but can also be used in your terminal. It lets you install local deb packages resolving and installing its dependencies.. It automatically checks packages for their dependencies and will try to download them from the Ubuntu software repositories if possible. You may first need to install GDebi - simply install the gdebi package using one of the package managers listed above, or open a Terminal and type sudo apt-get install gdebi

Once you have installed GDebi, use the File Browser to find the package you wish to install. Package files will look similar to this:

Last I checked Youtube no longer uses flash player if you use Chrome or Firefox. Just need to set your browser to use HTML5 by default to get that working again.

Flash player on Linux will only work for legacy content. Adobe hasn't supported flash on Linux in a while.

You might try WINE and install the Windows version of flash player, along with a browser.

Supposedly Chrome supports flash using its own plugin which should work just by installing the browser...
