Adbobe flashplugin install

What is the output of :

lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'

Thanks

You haven't given any details about the system or any in your question. The above command will give a starting point.

Also give output of:
cat /proc/cpuinfo

If you have an old CPU without SSE2, then Flash isn't going to work.

 The laptop is a Dell i5.
The output for lsb_release is also copied below, followed by the outout from cat /proc/cpuinfo.

Can you be more specific? Where does the install go wrong? Does it fail to download the player from Adobe?
