I keep getting this error, Ubuntu MATE is installed on my laptop a clean install since only 24 hours. And everything is up to date.

Can you help me ?

Please open a terminal and run these commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt remove flashplugin-installer
sudo apt purge flashplugin-installer
sudo apt install flashplugin-installer

And let me know how it goes.
