you don't have vim installed in your system, either u can install it by executing this command "sudo aptitude install vim" or u may use vi instead of vim

Alright I've got past the ln part of the equation. Now it says "vim : command not found". Any clues?

I am new to ubuntu so please bear with me. I can't understand the majority of the jargon. I was following the guide above after installing all that was needed. I got to where it says "sudo 1n -s ../../flashplugin-installer/libflashpler.so" and it says "ln : command not found" and i tried everything and it just keeps saying that. I am sure that I have not mispelled anything along the way and I would really like to be able to play videos like youtube. Please help.

The flash installer has changed again in ubuntu the link should now be :
sudo ln -s ../../flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so

And the chromium flags have to enable plugins as mentioned below:
1) sudo vim /etc/chromium-browser/default
2) edit chromium flags to look like following

# Options to pass to chromium-browser
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--enable-plugins"

1) check libflashplayer.so, see whether is in /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
2) Open Chromium-browser> type "about:plugins" in URL address bar.
- if you see "No plug-ins are installed", means plugins doesnt work for you, thats why flash is not working

Work around:
1) sudo vim /etc/chromium-browser/default
2) edit chromium flags to look like following

# Options to pass to chromium-browser
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--enable-plugins"

3) start chromium-browser and check "about:plugins"
4) you should see some installed plugins now

final work around, run following command in terminal.

chromium-browser --enable-greasemonkey --enable-user-scripts --enable-extensions

Hi Phoenixart, you can try to remove the existing libflashplayer.so file, then re-create the symbolic link to /adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so

example:
sudo rm libflashplayer.so
sudo ln -s ../../adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so

you have better way to do it, corrupt your linux partition table, take out windows xp setup cd, set it up, and it's done, forget about the stupid command
