    I need Help

    Good evening everyone.

    I am on Linux Mint, and I can't figure out how to install Adobe Flash Player. When I tried typing the following,

    sudo apt-get Install flashplayerplugin-nonfree.......

    It says that everything was installed, but when I go to youtube and other video sites, the flash player won't work...... What am I doing wrong?

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    You also need to install the plugin for the browser (chrome or firefox, etc). I usually go directly to the Adobe web site and get the appropriate installation file for my OS. I run Flash on CentOS (RHEL 5), Ubuntu 9.04, and Android.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    Thanx for your response Rubberman. I already went to Adobe's website and downloaded flash player 10.0. Then I installed it threw "sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree," and it still will not work. I have even tried installing the .deb file, and it said that everything was installed, but whenever I go to play a youtube video, it never works......What am I doing wrong?
