Ubuntu
software-center package

Adobe not working.

Asked by Jackson Ramsey

It's me again. Youtube is working again, but only for some videos. But ones such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-lCYZh_eOU&feature=related don't. It might be the length, but the OSTs work, and they are about the same length. Hulu doesn't work either. It says that I need Adobe Flash 11, but I have that. I tries downloading it, but it hasn't changed anything. ??????

Can you give the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'

Thanks

what does lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' mean? I put that in but it says

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  flashplugin-nonfree: Depends: flashplugin-installer but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
jackson@jackson-desktop:~$ lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'

 Am I doing something wrong? Hulu still says "missing plugin" too.

sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flash-properties-gtk adobe-flashplugin

sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer

mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins

cd ~/.mozilla/plugins

wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/libflashplayer.so

Close the browser (I assume you use firefox), then rerun it
