How to install Adobe Flash player in Ubuntu "11.04"

I am unable to watch video e.g. "www.bbc.co.uk/autumnwatch" on my Netbook as I can find no way of installing Flash Player on my Netbook, which has, (I believe) a light version of Ubuntu 11.04.

Has anyone had the same problem and resolved it?Smilie

No, but if I recall correctly, the player is part of the package ubuntu-restricet-extras. Just type:

Code:
sudo apt-get -y install ubuntu-restricted-extras

That package contains much more, of course.

Splendid. Thanks very much, it worked beautifully. Very grateful.

I am trying to get to grips with Linux terminal commands and this has helped my understanding
