Hi guys i have one of those mini notebooks with linux installed and on facebook there have been a few vids i have been waiting to see but i get asked to do the following:
Flash Player upgrade required
You must download and install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player to view this content.
There are various download options to pick from and none seem to work or i have no idea how to download this and so i can access these vids and others i want to see,others are able to see these vids but i think thats cause they are probably using windows but i have no idea why i need to download this and why i cant.
Could someone advise me as to how i can download this and what i need to do,as feel i am missing out on stuff i need to see,i am not really clued up on the linux etc and normaly use windows,so need to know what i am doing wrong.

silly question but which version of Linux are you using?Drop a brand challenge
on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 -
Might help to let us know which model of Netbook that you are using. The full model number. For instance A110 or A150....

hello bwatt00,
i also use linux (ubuntu 10.04).
if you use Firefox, you could try adding the extension, Flash-Aid - it will automatically deal with the Flash plugin for you (removing old versions, upgrading to correct version e.t.c.)
you can find it here:

hope this helps. if you still having problems, post back to the thread.
