flash player for Ubuntu problems

Asked by The Ragman

I have some kind of conflict going on, with Ubuntu.. Everything is up to date.

I am a total illiterate with regard to any Linux platform, though worked with DOS years ago.
The problem is that I installed Gnash out of ignorance, and could see no video clips on any websites. I then discovered how to download and install Flash Player, which I did. About:plugins shows both Gnash, and Flash Player are installed, but I still do not get any video showing.

Please can someone give me novice level instructions of what to do..

Thank you.
