Shockwave flash

[SigurdF]

Hi,
I just got a computer with OS Kubuntu and Firefox Browser. But at the plugins of firefox shockwave flash is missing. So, videos and games do not work. At my computer in Firefox plugins I can find Shockwave Flash version 11.2r202, last update 12/15/2012. Where can I download this newest version of Shockwave Flash and how is it to install in Firefox?
Kind regards, Sigurd

There are two ways to get the adobe-flashplugin:

Directly from the Ubuntu partner repositories /1/ or with the flashplugin-installer /2/.


Options

1. adobe-flashplugin from Ubuntu partner repositories

Open the package manager and enable the Ubuntu partner repositories and install the adobe-flashplugin.

2. install the flashplugin-installer

:~$ apt-cache show flashplugin-installer

And if you want all the proprietary goodies, just intall kubuntu-restricted-extras and kubuntu-restriced-addons meta-packages.

just curious , why do you call it "the app Konsole" ?

I think he meant "the application named Konsole".

I think he meant "the application named Konsole".

Aaaa I did not consider it that way , that makes more sense.

I was hoping that @jimmy.P did not think that it(konsole) was just for installing apps , and wanted to know why he was referring to it in this way, as I have seen him do a few times now.
and as each time it was to tell someone how to install something,,,,,,,well maybe I got the wrong idea
