Hello, I ve installed ubuntu 12.04.1 on my pc,
(athlon xp 2200 - ATI Radeon 9800)
and when I go to YouTube with Firefox, the videos won't play...
they load, but all I get is a black screen.
The same happens when I navigate facebook, the embedded videos won't play.
the flash player plugin is installed, and also shockwave flash...
what could be wrong?
Thank you,
I am new to this operating sys
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.

No such problems are present when using Chromium. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox.
I have a shared folder on Ubuntu Server 12.04. Users drop videos in.
As discussed in a separate question, embedded flash videos are abnormally heavy on GPU resources.
Hi all,
As a teacher I often use PDF files with embedded multimedia content.
