Hi All. The error message about the plugin being "virtual" is very misleading, particularly for those trying out Ubuntu in a virtual environment (VirtualBox, VMware, etc).

This error is directly related to Adobe not recognising the 64-bit environment, even though they do provide a 64-bit version of the Flash plug-in for Linux. Go figure.

Simplest solution I've found (Yes, it works!)
