I'm trying to install the flashplayer plugin in the three steps shown on http://www.itworld.com/software/415657/install-adobe-flash-plugin-ubuntu-1404 but get the following message: Package adobe-flashplugin is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source. E: Package 'adobe-flashplugin' has no installation cadidate.

I'm a total noobie when it comes to Linux, and I didn't bother at all with the DOS when using Windows OS, so what does this exactly mean? Can I install flash from somewhere else?

I have managed to install Flash Player in Lubuntu 10.0, Lubuntu 13 and Ubuntu 12, following the steps indicated from the "original" flash player download page, with the .tar.gz download

Just download it, extract, and follow the steps.
