Install Flash Plugin in Lubuntu

First time I run Lubuntu everything is ready to use like some codecs that is very useful for play mp3 or video.

But when I try to open youtube or some website that contain some interactive view it require a plugin like flash-player that used to play kind of that about. So install flash plugin is required.

And how to install flash player is quiet easy and I just do it from terminal.

1. Open LXTerminal. Start - Accessories - LXTerminal

2. Then type or copy this command
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer -y

After that finish, I restart my browser then it works. Hope you too.

    I get:
    Package flashplugin-installer 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 'flashplugin-installer' has no installation candidate
    Any ideas?
    Trying to install flash player is driving me crazy!
