I'm trying to install a newest version of flash player on my laptop, I'm running ubuntu 14.04.5 (by flashdrive, not using a dual boot). I was reading other questions about this topic but I keep getting this error.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package adobe-flashplugin 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 'adobe-flashplugin' has no installation candidate

  • Searching that path I'm finding only two options : http://ppa.launchpad/wbupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main http://ppa.launchpad/wbupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main (Source Code) – Alberto Ianna Feb 09 '17 at 12:47
