Flash I ssues

Asked by davidzaq1

Hello,

I have Ubuntu 15.04

I am trying to view a web page. The web page says I need the latest version of Flash.
As far as I know, I have java 8 installed but the web page still says I need to download the latest version of flash.

It won't view the page in Firefox or in Chrome.

Can you help with this?

Thank you.

Try running this bash script to install the newest version of Google Chrome, which includes the newest version of Flash:

cd $HOME
wget --no-check-certificate https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome*.deb
# fix the Google Chrome dependencies issue
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get --yes --force-yes -f install

Hello,

I tried running the above command to get the output in the terminal, but I received this return which says there is no such command.

Is there a mistake in the command somewhere?

thank you,

Your Terminal output shows the issue (sb_release) and shows which command you wanted to enter (lsb_release) :

No command 'sb_release' found, did you mean:
 Command 'lsb_release' from package 'lsb-release' (main)
sb_release: command not found

You know entered sb_release which is not valid.

Last time, you entered lsb_release (with an L at the front) which worked....

Close all browsers and run:

sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer
sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flashplugin adobe-flash-properties-gtk
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Then launch your Chrome browser.

Should be ok
