Flash is not installed by default. It is included in the "restricted-extras" repositories which is already available on the live image or during install. Ubuntu does not make available restricted software. You have to install these yourself. To do so, open a terminal and type: #sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer <div class="gmail_quote">On Jun 3, 2014 10:34 PM, "Vinny Ray" <<a href="mailto:Vinny@fusiontunes.net">Vinny@fusiontunes.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> I am a total new user with Linux.

Everything I do on line requires flash. Even my own website uses flash applets. I can not live without flash. How can I get flash to work on Ubuntu? What type information do I need to provide about my system to get suggestions?
