If you are running 32bit; enable the Universe repository via Synaptic
(System|Administration|Synaptic...|Settings|Repositories|Ubuntu
Software|Community-maintained... (Universe) is checked. Reload your
repositories (Reload button).

Now, from Synaptic, search using 'flash' (no quotes). Right click on
'flashplugin-nonfree' and 'Mark for complete removal'. Right click on
'adobe-flashplugin' and "Mark for installation". Click the apply button.
When completed you will have flash 10.0.15.3-1hardy2 installed on your
system.
