Asked by Sidi Cd

Help,
Damsel in distress again :D i need my precious beloved ubuntu working purrfect.. so i need ur help!

So here is my problem:
I know i am supposed to give a lot of information to my Laptop but i am as green behind the ears as if i were supposed to play soccer in the world cup.....
So please sorry for my ignorance :D
I have an eepc Ubuntu 10.04 installed on it. Google Chrome and Firefox installed on it..
Adobe Flashplayer everything else i removed.. ( i did some research.. but nothing seems to work for poor lil me :( )
ok this is what i have:

sidi@sidi-laptop:~$ locate libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
sidi@sidi-laptop:~$

Thats all.. why do my videos crash when i wanna watch fullscreen?Everything crashes and goes black.. And why is it so choppy when i watch youtube and stuff?

Yeah thought so, thats too much fluff.

This will fix you up:

sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer gnash-common mozilla-plugin-gnash; sudo apt-get --purge remove -y adobe-flashplugin; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y install flashplugin-nonfree

Should do it

You said this happens with every browser. What browsers are you using? You said you are using Chrome. Is that Chrome, or Chromium (or both)? Those two browsers are related, but they are not the same browser. Are you also experiencing this in Firefox? (I know you were originally, but are you still, after running actionparsnip's most recent commands?)

Does this happen when you log in to your Ubuntu system with a different user account? If you only have one user account, then please create another one to test this (you can do that in System > Administration > Users and Groups). Signing on with a different user account would be a very inconvenient solution for this problem, but the reason I am asking you to try this is not with the intention that you would do it permanently, but because knowing whether or not that works around the problem provides very important information about possible causes for the problem.

Also:

(1) What is the current output of this command (in the Terminal)?

dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|lightspark'

(2) Please take a screenshot showing your Plugins in the Add-Ons Manager in Firefox (Tools > Add-Ons...)? You can do this with Applications > Accessories > Take Screenshot or by tapping the Print Screen key once. Look at the screenshot to make sure it shows everything, and assuming it does, post it on the web (you could use a site like http://postimage.org). If you need to take multiple screenshots to show all the plugins listed (for example, if they don't all fit on one screen), please do that. Then please post a link (or links) to the screenshot (or screenshots) here.

Can you help with this problem?
