I installed Kubuntu 11.04 64bit on my notebook PC about an hour ago. It has so far impressed me. The only issue I was having is the installation of Flash Player. I tried a few workouts I found on the internet but none but the following worked. I found the solution on Ask Ubuntu. Save the following codes and run it as a shell script. It installs Flash Player 10 though. If you’re bash savvy, you can of course tweak it to install the version you desire! Happy flashing (!?) 😀 😛
