Can't view videos after updates!

Can you give the output of:

uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf

Thanks

Can you see video on disk ?

Yes I can play my dvds. It's only on-line.

Please be specific...are you asking me to open a terminal and type this in
(and enter after I type each line?)

@Michelle Walker

actionparsnip is indeed asking you to run that command in the Terminal. However:

(1) The command is only one line long. If you're reading this in your email and it seems like it's more than one line long, come to the web page for this question, where it is shown on one line (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+question/145296).

(2) You should copy the command, and paste it into a Terminal window. That way, the chance of error is enormously less than if you typed it out by hand. Copying and pasting is faster and easier, too.

Once you give the full output of the command we can advise. The command is ONE command, just copy the line as one and paste to the terminal, then copy the output and paste here as an update

I copied the outcome.

I don't understand your message entirely.

1. Am I right in saying there are 4 commands here? Or is this just one
command?
2. Do I close my browser and then enter the commands?
3. Please explain "And you should be fine after you close ALL browsers and
re-run one to
reload plugins"...are you saying that after I run the commands I re-open my
browser? And that action reloads the plugins?

Thanks

It looks like the problem is solved. I can play on-line videos.

And thanks!

1. It's all one command. If someone gives a big lump of commands like that it is ONE command, just split into many parts.
2. Either way is fine
3. You need to close the browsers as the old plugins would have been in RAM, reloading the browser reloads the plugins with the new config.
