sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flashplugin; sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

You have incorrectly downloaded the deb from Adobe's site. Flash is to be installed using the repos

Thanks, I did and the following occurred, what should I do now?

Sorry,please look at what I posted 1 hour ago. I had to wait a long time for launchpad to finish loading.

Thanks but what do I do next? The wireless networking still sometimes disconnecting and reconnecting itself. Occasionally, I get:"Error.Connection failed.Bad passowrd" and youtube just stops playing/loading, as also other other webpages.

Even in Firefox, when I run add-ons and try to update noscript to 2.0.2.3, it just hangs halfway. And some websites just show loading" interminably.

Try:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

Tried but Youtube still stops playing/loading now and then, hanging at the round circular dots. Frustrating. Pls advise further. Thanks for yr help

Can somebody kindly show me how to install the Linux driver which I've downloaded from TP-Link website for WN321G usb adapter? Hopefully, this might solve my wireless connection problem.

Can you post a new question. This thread is regarding flash in websites.

Sorry. The flash video problem of freezing ,showing the round circular rotation sign, is still irking me when playing youtube video or loading webpage, though not everytime. Any more thing I can do about it?

Has it got anything t do with my swap file of 773MB ext4? My ubuntu lucid harddisk partition is dba5, dba1 being win98, there is no dba2/3/4. Also I've a second harddisk that is win98 sdb1.

so you have a swap file instead of a swap partition? Should be ok. The lucid is installed in a logical partition so will start at sda6 with sda5 representing the extended partition it is sat in. You will only get sda1, sda2, sda3 and sda4 if all the partitions are primary partitions. This makes no difference to the operation and the kernel will manage the data access.

Have you tried another browser?

Thank you. Actually ,what I did was to remove the old ubuntu 8.04 and then installing 10.04 Lucid and formatting the existing swap file to ext4. Yes,I've tried other browsers like opera and seamonkey with the same results.
