Flash Lubuntu 11.04

Hi, i've installed Lubuntu 11.04 on a 11 year old laptop. Runs great but flash isnt working.

Now Adobe web site suggests its disabled in Chrome & asks you to type Blank : plugins into the address bar. It lists all the addins/pluggins but non list the Abobe flash or something similar.

Any suggesting on other browsers with working flash?

Thanks, the second command worked fine. But now the performance if youtube is bad. Would say its 1 frame per second, even after letting a video fully buffer. Same with firefox but i presume its using the same plugin.

Ever seen this before?

I tried using the command on this site but wasnt recognised after entering the sudo function.

It may be worth trying the HTML5 thingy on youtube, I find Flash runs like a dog on older machines...

Interesting, it says i'm not part of the trial. How does it work after you join? Do you have the be signed in or something?

I'l give it a try but it's not mine anyway. Some sales person at work asked to have look at it. Her child is using it but gave it back to me when flash wouldnt work.

It's looks & feels just like todays notebooks but the hardware is obviously rubbish (and the build quality is abit poo after 11 years of abuse). Thanks for the advise folks.
