  1. Install the package adobe-flashplugin from Canonical Partner. This is really easy and you even get automatic updates.

  2. First you should check if flash player is properly installed:

    sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --status

    In new Opera from 15 version the only most appropriate way to flash player work is using PPAPI flash player interface supported by default in multiverse repository in Ubuntu, not adobe-flashplugin and you don't need install alternative repository. First install flash player :

    sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree

    It will download full chromium browser to unpack flash player plug-in.

    sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install

    and last:

    sudo apt-get update

    To check if flash player is installed properly :

    sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --status

    after that flash player can be verified on adobe site here.

    Full description how to install this plug-in is here.
