I have been having trouble with this. My computer in Ubuntu Linux and I know it's Ubuntu 13.0 something or higher. I've tried installing flash player and it gives me this error message "There isn’t a software package called “adobe-flashplugin” in your current software sources." I tried doing what I saw one person say online and download something called "pepperflashplugin-nonfree", and it is still giving me the same error message! Please help me!

Open the terminal (push Ctrl+Alt+T) and type the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
After that (assuming you use Firefox), make sure you get the Shockwave Flash add-on. You can do that by opening Firefox, pushing Ctrl+Shift+A, and then searching for Shockwave Flash.
That should do the trick!
