The information displayed is "get the latest flash player" and I clicked the linked downloaded .deb file and installed several times. I frustrated in reinstalling and downloading. Also the in browser there used to come installing missing plugins. There also I clicked and three option shown "adobe flash player (installer)", "swfdec player for adobe/macromedia flash" and "Gnash swf player" I gone through all three option but message displayed it is installed. I am really frustrated will any one please help me ???????????????

Add to your source list this line

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hardy partner

save and close.

sudo apt-get update

In synaptic find adobe-flashplugin and install it.

Gnash and swfdec-gnome work well together but clash with adobe. I would install just the adobe one as that seems to work best at the moment.

Also it might be worth working through each line in this guide
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
to sort out all the rest of your multimedia too. I tend to use proprietary (non-free) components as they haven't cost me anything yet. Hopefully one day i will be able to go completely OpenSource.

Good luck and regards from
