Hi gang,

I know the chromium team are working on in-built flash support, until that
happens and lubuntu ships it, can I pop on the instructions from
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-enable-flash-support-for-google-chromium-browser.html
over
onto the wiki help area, i'm guessing 'Advanced Users' would be the place
for it.

First you need to make sure you have installed chromium browser

Now you need to install flash using the following command

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

Now you need to copy libflashplayer.so file into
/usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins directory

sudo cp /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins

Now you can run the chromium browser using the following command from
terminal

chromium-browser --enable-plugins

to test it, to keep that setting,

Go to  the menu, select Internet --> and right click on Chromium Browser,
select Properties and change where it says 'command'

from

chromium-browser %U

to

chromium-browser -- enable-plugins %U

Regards,

Phill.
