Yesterday I upgraded from Ubuntu 11.10 to Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bit). The upgrade went smoothly (far more than I expected). Unfortunately, I cannot seem to install the flash plugin in either Firefox or Chrome.

chrome://plugins

does not show flash. I tried

19:17farhat ~$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

flashplugin-installer is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Yet, I cannot seem to find anything related to flash on the system.

19:17farhat ~$ sudo updatedb

19:17farhat ~$ locate libflashplayer.so
19:17farhat ~$ locate libflashplayer
19:17farhat ~$ locate libflash
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libflashlo.so
19:17farhat ~$ 

I am at the end of everything I know. Any help will be appreciated. I have tried removing and reinstalling the package. Still the same results.
