How to update adobe flash player

Hi, wich is your flash and ubuntu version? I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and flash player 10.3.181.26 and all works. But now, on Ubuntu miror, is present the new version of Flash. To update it, you must open update manager. Let me know if you find the update. Thanks many.

I am using kubuntu 11.04

Nothing is showing in the update

Hi, have you enabled the restricted repository active in packages management? Thanks

yes that is enabled
thanks

Have you installed the adobe-flashplugin-10.3.181.26-0natty1.deb pkg? If you haven't, try to do this:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ natty partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

or (if you have just installed)

sudo apt-get upgrade

If you have installed other Flash pkg then the once I have suggest, you must uninstall it before do the sequence of command I described in this post. I hope my suggest can help you. Thanks.

Sir,

the output is

what should I do now

adobe-flashplugin doesn't exist, but flashplugin-installer does.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=flashplugin-installer

Side note: while working in a terminal close all package management apps, e.g. software-center, synaptic, update-manager.
Before updating switch to main server in software sources, maybe the (in) mirror isn't synced yet.

Then run in a terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get -f install

Hi, this is the link of adobe-flashplugin launchpad project: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin and this pkg are present in the partner repository: http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flash-properties-gtk_10.3.181.34-0natty1_i386.deb. I don't understand way you don't find it in the repository. I try to understand. Thanks.

Sorry, this is the right link of deb pkg present in Canonical partner repository: http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_10.3.181.34-0natty1_i386.deb. The other pkg I linked is one of the dependencies necessary. Thanks.

Sir both the link provided by you are for 32 bit but I am using 64 bit . Please provide the link for 64 bit.

yes the problem solved. I have removed all flash packages then

sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer

Now everything is ok.

> I don't understand way you don't find it in the repository

Because I don't have Canonical partner enabled, rather either lookup official repo page or apt-cache.
You can try the link and search unsuccessful flashplugin64-installer and adobe-flashplugin.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/flashplugin-installer
flashplugin-installer is available as 10.3.181.34ubuntu0.11.04.1 which incl. the wrapper for 64bit and downloads it from adobe.
