Installing Flash Player in Ubuntu 10.04

I have to say that I was gonna change Ubuntu 10.04 to something else just for this problem. It was a pain when I couldn't see online videos correctly; they just went out of sync, were too slow and it took nearly a minute for it to go to full screen. But after some searching in Synaptic package manager, I finally found a package to solve the problem. So let's get started.

First of all, if you installed gnash swf player or any player else than Adobe Flash Player, remove them.
If you want to install it via Ubuntu Software Center, make sure you select Canonical Partners from the Get Software section, then in the search box, type adobe-flashplugin, and select the item shown in the list and install it. But if you want to do that in the command line,
open up a terminal and issue the following commands (for Kubuntu, follow the next one):

$ sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin adobe-flash-properties-gtk

If you're on Kubuntu, issue these in the terminal:

$ sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin adobe-flash-properties-kde

This command removes the flashplugin-installer  package and its dependencies to prevent any conflicts.

That's all. Open up your browser and enjoy!
