when I try to open a video youtube page it opens as if I was using a console browser application, even I am using nautilus. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Asked by Antonio Carlos Ribeiro Nogueira

When I try to open youtube page by clicking in a link like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LN86DcaRDM0

to watch a video, It opens the page showing it if it was openned using a console browser application. Showing color texts (sentence texts) in a black background screen. An other problem I am finding is that some pages show me the error message: "Server not found, Firefox couldn't find googleads.g.dout".

ii flashplugin-installer 11.2.202.236ubuntu0.12.04.1 Adobe Flash Player plugin installer

O Adobe Flash Player plugin installer está instalado, certo? Só que além de a página aparecer como se eu estivesse usando um navegador de console, não consegue carregar os vídeos do youtube.

sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer

Then enable the partner repo in software centre and install adobe-flashplugin it will give 64bit flash for your 64bit OS

Look, I have an "Independent third software" in my Repository Configuration. Is it correct? Is this Repository that you are advising me to enable? or to choose "Other Software"?

Looks good, ok run:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

Close ALL browsers then rerun to load the new plugin and test flash

No, it doesnt fix up the problem... I visit the page of youtube and it show me the page as if I was using a console app to open the page. I guess that the best I do is to reinstall ubuntu.
