Install Flash on Ubuntu, Linux

[int86]

Recently I moved to Ubuntu, and felt parted with Opera as many plugins were missing.
Though many plugins were easy to find and install. Installing flash was not so easy for me. But I found a easy way though.

At first I downloaded Flash plugins for default browser FF. Instruction and plugins can be dwonloaded from following link:
*www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash


Then simply running following two commands makes life easier.

su

cp /home/XXXX/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins



Where XXXX is your login user ID.



I think I may get my first rep here

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

Linux way is a lot more elegant than windows way.

Got this error message Mehul

Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
