...closes immediately. Please help? I am new to Linux and am trying to install Flash Player. I have tried multiple methods and so far unsuccessful. I have extracted the package and tried to open it with terminal but the terminal immediately closes after it starts up. I have also tried the way like it says and locate it with terminal and run it there. I am able to get it to:

cd ~/Desktop/install_flash_player_10_linux

but I am unable to run the installer. I also was browsing around and found the command:

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

but found this error:

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

Please help
 
try this command in the terminal instead of the one that you were using

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

If it doesn't work post back
