Flash hasn't been owned by Showckwave for years now. It is owned by Adobe.

Can you give the output of:

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

Thanks

Here are my responses:

$ uname -a
Linux pcdenis 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 11.04
Release: 11.04

$ dpkg -l | grep flash
ii flashplugin-installer 10.3.181.14ubuntu0.11.04.1 Adobe Flash Player plugin installer

$ dpkg -l | grep gnash
no response

$ dpkg -l | grep swf
no response

NB: I've found the name "shockwave flash 10.3 r181" when clicked in the firefox's menubar "tools - add-ons".

Thank you very much

The idea was to run it as ONE.In future please don't dissect commands, run them as give.

Try:

sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove;sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer

Then you will be using 64bit flash to match your 64bit OS

It's done. I've copied and pasted your last command line. from now on, 64 bits flash is installed :
# dpkg -l | grep flash
ii flashplugin64-installer 10.3.162.29-0ubuntu0~sevenmachines3 Adobe Flash Player plugin 64 bit alpha installer

But that still doesn't fix the pb.

Thanks

yes, it is the same speed: very fast !
are there any settings to do?
NB: I don't have speakers (it is a new computer), so I can't hear anything.

thanks

NB: It is an integrated chipset, for the moment.
I've ordered a brand new graphic card ( PNY GeForce GT 430 1Go, nvidia).
Tomorrow, i'm going to receive this card and try it.

Thank you

Sounds cool, there is a proprietary driver for the Ati chip you have which isn't currently being used
