How to install .deb files
I am using the live CD version of KUBUNTU before I install it on an old computer at my grandfathers house, where I will be staying for the summer. Thing is, I have no idea how to use it. The instructions for flash player .deb install is double click on it, but when I do that, it asks me what program to install it with. Ok, what program? Lol this is slightly irritating. Anyone have ideas?

Welcome to the forums!How to install .deb files
Change to the directory where the deb file resides and enter the following command:
That should do it.Code:sudo dpkg -i package_name.deb
It's usually better to use apt and install packages from a repository when you can:
Code:sudo apt-get install package_name
