Slight diversion into Flash.

This isn’t too difficult, but it didn’t go very smoothly. So, maybe this will help you.

1. Add the dapper-commercial repository. Go to System… Administration… Software Properties. Click the Add button then the Custom button.

2. You will be prompted for an APT command. Enter:-

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu dapper-commercial

and click “Add Channel”.

3. Get a command prompt and enter:-

    sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree    sudo update-flashplugin

You need to accept the license.

4. Exit Firefox and load it again.

I then had a problem with sound, so followed the instructions in http://www.macewan.org/2006/06/01/howto-firefox-flash-video-sound-on-ubuntu-linux-dapper/ which sorted that out.
