I have a very old computer which is running Lubuntu 12.04. I don't think it can be upgraded to 14.04 as it is non-pae. The Lubuntu software center does not provide any Adobe Flash Player installation. I have downloaded the flash-plugin 11.2.202.425 release.i386.rpm.
Please excuse my ignorance; but how do I install it from there?

I found the workaround:
First install the 'nspluginwrapper':
sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper
or Using Software Center
Then copy the debug player to the correct location:
sudo cp ~/Downloads/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/
Next, call nspluginwrapper:
sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
Google Chrome for 64 bit does not come with Flash (see bug report). Chrome (64 bit) will try and use the Flash it finds on your system, but if you don't have it, then you need to install it.
Best Answer
You cannot install rpm. This is package for another distribution (Fedora, RHEL and its derivates). You can try this HOWTO on webupd8 or you can try installing flash player from repository - open terminal and run this command:
It will update your package database and installs package named
flashplugin-installerif it is present in your repositories.
