Downloading the .deb file was not necessary in Ubuntu.
You should enable the Third-party software repository.
Then, Install the flashplugin-installer package
Once you restart your browser, flash should be working.0 -

I do not use Ubuntu, so I can't give you a step by step instruction on how to install it. Here is a link that explains how to install Flash on Ubuntu.

Hi George,
please do the following and you will be able to install flash player...
Install Flash Player For Ubuntu Linux
Type the following command to install flash player:
$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
Now flash player should be working. Visit youtube or any other site to view flash content.
Troubleshooting tip
Update: This issue only relevant to older Ubuntu Linux version such as 6.04.
Some people may find voice is not working with newly installed flash player. Type following commands to solve this problem (thanks to macewan.org):
$ sudo apt-get install alsa-oss
$ gksudo gedit /etc/firefox/firefoxrc
Find line that read as FIREFOX_DSP and set to:
FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"
Save and close the file.
Close Firefox and restart it again.0 -

thanks for ur time0 -
All though adobe has good intentions with releasing their own version of the deb installer on their website it should not be a supplement for a tested version released by your distro development team. If you are looking for an application or library check the distro sources first because they are tested and refined for your chosen distro.0

I am glad that you got it to work. I myself am a fan if ubuntu. If you need to install any other programs go to Systems>Administrator>synaptic package manager. I use it all the time. Also, experiment with your system, and try not to use newbie alot. Make yourself convincing that you want to learn.B)0
