http://askubuntu.com – Dont' know why or if it is related, after upgrading Ubuntu 10.04 kernel ( I guess from 2.6.32-38 to -42) I can's see youtube videos. I checked the flash plug-ins installed and I have: (1) flashplugin-installer, (2) flashplugin-nonfree and (3) flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound. I haven't reinstalled the browsers yet. Here's the code of the plugins installed: williepabon@raquel-desktop:~$ sudo lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' [sudo] password for williepabon: No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS Release: 10.04 Co (HowTos)

Hi everyone!

I'm a newbie in the linux world and have just installed Xubuntu 11.10 on an old laptop (Pentium II - 1,20GHz - 512 MB RAM).

I thought initially that youtube, and hence flash, didn't work at all in firefox: back hole where the flash player should be.

I have a very strange problem with flash on my 10.04 system. (An update to 12.04 is not an option, because the system is just too old and slow.)

After a recent update flash has just stopped working altogether. Youtube just shows a white square, vimeo a black one. After a 10.04 reinstall the problem stays the same.

How to install Google Chrome browser with Flash plugin support on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) GNU/Linux1.

I searched , but i found only old problems. The solutions of them did not helped me at all.

I tried to find solution but I just couldn't. Does anyone of you know how to fix this problem? When I try to watch videos on YouTube, Chromium says "couldn't load plugin". There was flashplugin-installer already installed , but I reinstalled it, and Chromium(it did't help).

When I installed 12.04 I also added Ubuntu-restricted-extras. I decided to try accessing flash content in Firefox without the Adobe plugin, and I wanted to experiment with streaming video directly with VLC, so I removed flashplugin-installer.

I tried every version of Flash player for Ubuntu 12.10, but it doesn't work. When attempting to install it, I got this error.

Hola! Tengo un problema con Flashplugin-nonfree y uso Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Todo comenzó cuando quise instalar adobe flash player (aunque sé que ya no hay soporte) y se volvió un jolgorio... partiendo porque desde otro foro vi que podía instalar el "ubuntu-restricted-extras" y pensé que con eso se abría solucionado el problema del flash.

ok so i typed this in the terminal - aos87@ubuntu:~$ Code: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree and this is what i got - E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run ' Code: sudo dpkg --configure -a ' to correct the problem.

when i ran Code: sudo dpkg --configure -a this is what came up - aos87@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a [sudo] password for aos87: Setting up sandb
