How do I install Adobe Flash player?
Why does it always say “Requires Installation of Untrusted Packages” and not let me download?

I am new to this and could really use some help. I have tried looking online but I don't understand what I need to do to fix this. My knowledge is very basic. Help would be greatly appreciated.

I have this same problem on my machine, but it happens when I try to install anything. The workaround I use is to install the application through the terminal instead. Open a terminal (ctrl + alt + T) and run the following command: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer. Enter your password when prompted, then answer 'y' to the next two prompts. After the program downloads and installs flash player you can close the terminal. Hope that helps!

  • Thank you, that did it. Where do you guys learn how to do stuff like that? I'm in a c++ class, but I'm still just a very basic beginnger. – Stephan Apr 05 '12 at 13:27
  • Ah, this one was easy. 'sudo apt-get install ,'programname* is the way to install any program through the terminal. Take a Linux command line class, or find something on YouTube. – William Apr 05 '12 at 13:37
