First youtube experience on Ubuntu lite-- installing flash plug-in

Just had my first experience playing an youtube video on this Utuntu lite machine...

Love changes everything by Climie Fisher


The song did play except for QoS is not as good as I want it to be especially when I tried to load Blogger on a different tab in firefox...

In addition, for the video part, the video didn't really play and showed only certain frames...

Regardless, this is my first experience on da Utuntu lite machine.

Most importantly, in order for the video to be played, you will need to have flash player 10 plug-in installed...

By simply going to the flashplayer download page on Adobe website didn't really help me...

First thing you have to do is to close the browser..

Then, launch the LXTerminal by clicking on "Application"--> Accessories" and select LXTerminal from the dropdown menu.

Once the terminal is open, type in the following after the $ sign and press enter...

$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

Once you press enter and, of course, you need to be connected to the Internet, the plug in file will be downloaded and installed.

Launch the browser again and the plug-in should be installed.
