Ubuntu
software-center package

I'm trying to install adobe flash onto UBuntu 11.04, I'm using a live USB. Is it even possible?

Asked by Ned Simpson

I go to software center

search for adobe flash plugin for mozilla

click install, the error message appears.

"The following packages have unmet dependencies:

flashplugin-installer: Depends: ia32-libs (>= 2.2ubuntu18) but it is not going to be installed"

Can you give the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks.

It is possible to do ANYTHING in liveCD you can do in an installed OS except reboot.

 I don't understand what the
output of lsb_release -a; uname -a is

but if you can still help it'd be much appreciated.

Copy the command and press CTRL+ALT+T

Paste the text to the terminal and press ENTER, copy the text and paste here as an update

Thanks

Well it's surprising that Ned couldn't follow Actionparsnip's instructions yet could follow this poor method to install flash.
I recommend you do not install flash from PPA if you prefer sanity to your package installations.
This was handy when it was still 'beta' but for non-beta you shouldn't follow this.

Updating will not be any fun.

Get.adobe.com will detect your linux and AMD64 requirements and install a working flash without adding PPA's.

Cheers.
