I have had significant problems with watching flash video in 64-bit Ubuntu. Does anyone know of a good way to get flash running on the platform?

For 11.04 and earlier:

Are you installing it from the Ubuntu Software Center?

Go to Applications->Ubuntu Software Center.
Click on Canonical Partners
Click the Adobe Flash Plugin 11 and click install.

Note: this is the method I use on my 64-bit Ubuntu install and it has yet to fail me.

For 11.10 and later

Start Software Center from the Launcher and search for flash

Two entries will be found. The first is the wrapper around the 32bit flash version from Adobe. The second is the 64bit flash version.

Select the second flash entry - if the following picture is seen then you have not already enabled the Canonical Partner Repository previously.

Click More Info

... and click Use this source to enable the Canonical Partner Repository

see the end of this answer for the bug-report

Click Install

Click the Install button and enter your password when prompted. Note - you must have permission to install software.

The installation will proceed:

Once complete - launch Firefox and browse to your Flash Video. Right click and confirm that the latest version of Flash has been installed correctly.

Note - pictures subject to change - the 64bit version has only been recently packaged in the last week before Oneiric release - One issue currently exists:

In the interim - either use the first 'Multiverse' 32bit plugin in the pictures above or use adobe-flashplugin

Since you have stated that this is the first time you have ever used ubuntu. i would suggest that you install the package ubuntu-restricted-extras, this includes lots of useful stuff like adobe flash and codecs and MS fonts etc.

you can do this in many ways.

software centre: Click on this link:

or in a terminal: type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

synaptic: search for the package ubuntu-restricted-extras right click the package and select install, and then select mark. after click the apply button and it will all install.

There is a simple solution for this problem.

Open your Firefox and go to Youtube. Click on any video. Definitely it won't play because you don't have any flash player installed. But Firefox will promote you to install missing plug-in at the top. Simply click on it and follow the procedure. After that your video will start to play. Make sure you have latest Firefox browser installed.

Or try this in your terminal

Get my Flash-Aid extension for Firefox. It will take care of downloading and installing the appropriate version for your system architecture and will also remove conflicting plugins. If you are on 64bit, it also allows to install the 64bit preview version, which renders better results than the 32bit with nspluginwrapper.

BTW, if you can't copy anything to ~/.mozilla/plugins folder, then you should check the ownership of the ~/.mozilla folder. It should allow to copy anything there. Unless of course you are referring to a system folder outside your home directory, which requires root privilege.

It depends on what browser you are using. Google Chrome (not Chromium) has Flash player by default.

Go to www.google.com/chrome and click download Chrome Choose 64-bit .deb (anybody reading this using 32-bit machines should select the 32-bit .deb)

When you click on the .deb file when it has downloaded it will open in the Software Centre. Now click install and when it has finished you can find the browser in Applications -> Internet.

Use the Ubuntu Software Center (in the Applications menu). In the text entry field (of the search box), you can search for 'flash', and the results will populate one Adobe Flash plugin (note the Adobe logo). Choose that, and follow the directions to use the source.
